said Il. II did not hesitate and STAN
msr aud stutter and finally put oat a
long farrngp OF words. saying much and
meaning nothing. nor did IL smother the

there werr no votes to be got by injuring
anybody's feelings on either side

injustice that has the additional dcmcrit
OF unconstitutionality--bu adds insult
