ucipated bitter dcnunciation AMI undigni
fed expressions Of defiance, while with
others the rumors lined credcncc that
he would Yell to the decision Of the
people and perhaps recommend further
amendments to the constitution. Both
these classes are disappointed. In the
main, what he says is said in digniiiel

as some do, that the lessons of The late
elections are entirely lost upon lin. lie
reiteratcs and reargucs his former policy.

says should be treated with respect, even
though his past conduct has taken away

is essentially Weakened though not whol.
