Transcriber's Notes

The transcriber made these changes to the text to correct obvious errors:

  1. p.  844 disfranchished  --> disfranchised
  2. p. 1034 conferference --> conference
  3. p. 1035, men's govt., 393 -->  men's govt., 693
  4. p. 1043 municiipal --> municipal
  5. p. 1133 canvassses --> canvasses
  6. p. 1133 conferference --> conference
  7. Punctuation has been standardized in the Index
  8. Images and autographs located within a paragraph
     have been moved to the end of the paragraph, which
     may be on a different page.

Also, many occurrences of mismatched quotes remain as they were in the original.
