tho Fillmore ticket was being financed
and run by Democrats to divide the
northern vote; that its only possible ef

elect Buchanan, and that Fillmore's hope I
of having th election "thrown into the '

Tet with all this attaok on Fillmore,

In Pennsylvania. "At th head of the
otherwise identical tickets of Republican
and American electors were Fremont

ticket was called tho "peoples ." as the
leaders knew tho conservative Pennsyl
vania Democrats would not stand for a
new party name. The scheme was to

And th Band Played On.
Fremont waa supported by nearly all
th newspapers in New York. Tammany

for Buchanan, but tha state went for
Fremont by a big vote. The legislature
was Republican and th dav after the
