the contrary, he chuckled al the position in

the nominee ofihe 5,h April Convention, should
i, be MIR. Macfarand, who is spoken of as "the
third man. "Cerlainly,'' replied Mr.. Lee
But said Mr.. Bolts, suppose should be
the nominee. would you support me'' No
answered Mr.. Lee, without farther explanation
