Waterloo was perhaps a calamity to the
world. Did not Robert Hall say that it
set the worlds clock back half century?

| That sun-bright intellect, that indomitable

| iron in velvet glove belong to history, and
there is nothing in our day that resembles

Electing q man on the train and clectlng

counties has q great deal in it. Richmond

half the voters of the district. The comp
