Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. AT the close of a most notable campaign in American histori when a Democratic vic tory has swept the country from coast to coast, it is fitting that the story of the origin of the party's emblem - the Rooster - be told in this little volume, for it was in the heart of Indiana, in a pioneer campaign baelz in l840 that the proud bird came into its own. To be more exact, the emblem's birthplace was Greenfield,\ Hancock County, Indiana, and its originator Mr. Joseph Chapman, one of her famous sons.
