In 1856, soon after tho Democratic
Convention, PARTY of Democrats were
talking together over the proceedings.
We happened to be present, and in re-
ference TO the nominations, one of them
zealously remarked, "Buchauau the old
fool He viii do to run the campaign,
but We want yous5 man for action
But sly does Of medicine will settle
that"
Mr.. Buchanan was elected, and sly
does Of medicine was administered at the
National Hotel, which, however, failed
of the mark. Mr.. Buchanan did not die
and John G. Breekinridge did not be
come President
Is the nomination of Mr.. Seymour ike

poisoning of the President, in order to
give young man like Frank Z. Blair,
