 platform or on a platform of doubtful
 construction. If this course puts me
 out of sympathy Sith the Repu blican , sentiment of the state, as a portion ot , the Repu blican press alleges it will, l will accept the result with all its logical
 consequences in preference of principles
 and stuli6aation of a record made, as l conceive under the instructions of every
