DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MOVEMENTS.
1.-The Low movement Is entirely different from,
III, Woodward movement. The failure OF the
woodward movement was largely due TO the lac'
that n came al a time when the defeat OF Blaine
ras s,i-l fresh IN the minds Of Republicans and II
was on that plea and en- appeal 10 the Republican
partv feeling that their forces were drawn TO-
cethe-
The Shepard movement was entirely different
from the present one. because the Administration
favored the election Of Wurster and was salts
factory one t. the people. who favored It's continu
arcA for fear that the election might go into the
hands OF the Democrats. For that reason thou
sands OF independent Democrats voted for MY
Wurstcr rather than Mr.. Shepard.

MIR Low received an enthusiastic welcome and
