will witness tbe greatest battles ever fought
ao far aa destruction ol life is concerned. I
believe this struggle la going to coat a mill
Ion lives, and they will not be all Russian or

can withstand tbe shock. They may aave
Constantinople; but if they lose every other
point what god will It do themT He alto

THE PRESIDENT'S SOUTHERN POLICY.

tbe gubernatorial campaign lu Ohio in 1375,
which resultod lu his election over Governor

Fireaaed hia oplufons. This speech waa pub

thereforo his views woie generally kuown.
In that speech, after congratulating hia fellow-citizens
on tholr complete triumph over
those who sought to destroy tbe Union and
the grand results of the war, ho alluded to
tbe coming together again of Northern and
Southern men In a spirit of harmony and
friendship, Including thoso who had fought
against ono another, and as a prominent fea
ture In this evidence of good feeling, ho, on
that occasion, spoko of the kindly munner
In which Vice Piesldent Wilson waa receiv

of reconciliation nnd local soli government
apart from military support, and when ho

ho Intended this policy should not bo ono of

"My bollof is that this courso tends to glyn
