There is much curiosity about this
distinguished gentleman. From his
activity in the Wells party, and the
cunning and tact he displayed in the
management of party machinery, it
was inferred that he would by no
means absent himself in the heat and
imminent peril of the campaign. His
absence, therefore, is strange, and eau
