We put the ma n who thinks mill Jpi'iik'i 1 1 I directly, and whoso wonN huu' : I j always been made good, ugulnst I the lliari whose adroit mill facile j 1 1 j elocution Is used to conceal his I j plans or his want of plans. The I next four years may well be i j years of tremendous national J j strain. Which of the two men j do jou, the American people, wish at the helm during those J four years; the mnu who has 1 been actunlly tried and found wanting, or the man whoso j wholo enreer In public ofllce Is a guarantee of his power and good faith? Hut one answer is passible ; and It must be given by j the American peoplo throughout j the United States. From speech j of Co.
