The Administration would not probably take it
much to beart if Francis j. Gfuud, who is now
extensively persioLed on tue Secret Service fund,

Being Itssisn by trade, the transfer from one
service 10 the other might not be very agreeable to
bis patriotic desire 10 s-ryc bis adopted country
abroad, at $40 day AID travelling expenses But
as It would test the Democratic doctrine by a
conspicuous example his dsinte rested devotion
would doubtless submit gracefully, expecting, of
course, to he accomplished by Ii ateful Republic
FOX various costly sacrifices. Mr. Husrnan ia now
