the ensign of the republic full high ad-

his gentle spirit now looks down upon
a nation awakened from it's sleep of death
and restored to its greater and better self
and known and honored, as never before
throughout the world. Whilst Key lived there
was but single paramount issue, about
which all other issues cIrcled-the constitu-
