covered that he had made 4.io5 speeches for his
political principles. which. he says. are his re-

three times for State Senator twice for Congress.
once for Sheriff, once FOR Mayor. once for Council

never elected to any office for which he ran but
Mr. MARITIME denies this. and that In 1872 ne
was elected a member OF the Council Of PIalnfleld.
