the one id, and intimidation and
cruelty on the othfr, Corruption on
the one side, heinous cruelty on the
other horrible. He arrued that the
vote ot Louisiana should not be count
ed.

speech about bei g ensnared, and time

The feeling is feverish, and thsre is
great uneasiness in Republican circles.!

Palmer loaned his endorsement on a
note, as he woul'd have done for any
other man. This was ail there was
about money. -

commission, but said he should go on
in the performance of his duty, - with
out dilatory motions.- 1
U ,Mr Pearce of Maiiachupetts, said he
