Since TINS is true it is easy to see
that they have no motive in opposing

| painfully cognizant Of the fact tnat the

until it is npon us with all the admirable
strength of its ma turity. They are
heightened to desperation over the
superiority of such a grand movement

winning issue, but, not having the coIlr

that the Republican party had it 50 well

as to prejudice an enlightened people

that the people know that the Repnb-
