Jefferson, and Is closely allied in faith
and purpose to the Republication of
lincoln. has again been rr-asserted in

lists for the division Of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
and that unity of oryanizatian. as of pur-

should satisfy the reasonable expecta-
ricns Of all reforlners and lovers of their
