q big laugh when he remarked during
his talk on true republicanism that his
father had five unmarried daughters
and never allowed a Democrat to come
pear the house. He predicted the sue
cess of the ticket throughout the state.

Hildreth and Ingersoll their undivided
support. He said: "Don't hesitate to
cast your ballots for these gentlemen.

they will not take orders from any
leader or official; they are men who
have been tried and have made good
and deserving of the support of every
Republican voter"
