represent; for tho highest and best type Of
American manhood. for ability which has
forced recognition at the hands of his party in
defiance to, rather than in accordance with, the
wishes OF corporations. Mi. Warner, though
blessed with attainment t.sst rank hiai among
the leaders of the land. is yet plain mana
man Of the people and ore whose sympathies
have ever been with the class that holds him in
such ardent admiration and hearty approval.
Never have the people sought advice or aid at
hrs hands that they left empty handed; never
has his record been suilied by the breath Of
suspicion; never has he been before the peepls
for endorsements that his did not lead
the ticket; never has any man had more
friends or more enthusiastic admirers among
the great mass of common people in this State
than Maj. Warner. LaureIs won in the Union
army have been Endorsed By blue and gray

State stands so close to the heart of the soldier
as the Major His gallant race fer Governor
proved better than anything else the esteem
in which be is held"
