but finally consented, supported on crutches.
Among other things he said :-'I cannot agree with
Governor Hayes that all the vexed questions of ma
tional parties wisely and happily settled that
the great questions Of liberty and union and the re-
construction of the Union have been made safe, and
honesty have been introduced into the management

burdens OF taxation have been reduced, and their
weight upon the people been lightened (;

considerable length upon financial questions, reiter
