1549 - L Aug. 20; ed: 2/1 - Wallandigham, representative of western Democracy,
in a speech at a peace meeting in Syracuse, insisted that there be no
division of the Democracy at the Chicago convention, and is in favor of
putting the presidential issue before the people as "Peace cr War." He
says that peace is to be had through an armistice.
"If the Democratic party Coes before the people on this issue, it will be
necessary for them to consider the probable consequences of such an armistice.
The people will demand that the Democratic party unmask and not slink be-
hind a few generalities about peace, an armistice, and a convention of the
States." - - - (8)
