op;nion on that subject
T. is no, necessary TO 90 farther back into the
history OF the past than the Introduction OF the
presen, measure into the House OF Representatives
That introduction took place within two or three
days after the Presidents disapptova OF the former
bill, and have not the slightest doubt that It was
honestly aad fairly intended measure likely to
meet the Presidents appreciation. | do Rot be-
lieve that in fifty Of the Wings had any sinister
design whatever, If there was an lndIvidua! VINO
had such design Bu, know TIA, the President
had been greatly troubled in regard To the !oTrner
bill being DESTROYS on ore hand TO meet the wishes
OF his friends if he could, and on the other 10 90
justice TO his Own opinions.
Having returned this first bill with objections,
new one was presented in the House, and appeared
10 be making IA pid progress. know the President
regretted this, and wished The whole subject might
have been postponed A; the same time, believe
he was disposed TO consider calmly and conscien-
/ ,ouslv whatever other measure might be presented
to him.

Just in them to give decisive proof that tiey eater
tained no such purpose as seemed 10 be imputed 10
them. And since there was reason - believe that
the President would be- clad Of time FIR iE.orma-

an opinion on another plan for BauIs--t plan
somew hat new to the country--I thought his known
wishes ough, to be com lied with. think so still
! think this is a course Just to the President and
wise on behalf Of the Wing party.
4 decisive rebukc ought in my judgement TO be
given 10 the iniimaton, from whatever quarter, OF
disposition among the Wings to enbarrass the
President. This is the main ground OF my opinion ;
and such rebuke, think. would be found IN the
general resolution Of the party TO postpone further
