Mr.. Kellogg did not think proper to make
the declaration
Mr.. Morriss asked if he had been in pri.
vate conversation. This was the first time
he had heard that charge-he believed there
was not one bit Of truth in it. Mr. Douglas
was elected by the Democracy of that State

day, and he should hear the crack of the re
