known as the z. O. p, concluding that
it was necessary to hold the skeleton
together at all hazards, met at the

time honOred party he melted his
hearers to tears and they thought con-
corning it that Of all sad words Of ton

ceedings declared their inability to
swallow the dose and retired to the

pOpulist candidate must have under
