We recognize in him a man of TIL

manner i'll which he has perfected
the present organization of the
Democratic party of the county,

made as an organizer which places
him among the first in the state,

an old time majority for the coming
Democratic Governor of this state.

Garman in behalf of true Demo

pathy for the Cuban Patriots and
hope that they will soon be free
and independent people.

gained by Admiral Dewey at
Manila which marks him as one of
the greatest heroes of all times.
And we hope the American and
Cuban forces will display the same
heroisn in the coming contest in
Cuba.
