believe that it is well established
iact that they had cabinet meeting on
the election, and then aud there the o,es.

Nun from going over 10 the democrats
where lac would have been capable of much
mischief. Robson was willing to stake
his entire nautical reputation that amer a
storm there Is always calm. aud that

The President was more cheerful than

taken ground against il and the result was
that his otrn term had terminated. la
Georgia however Mr.. stephen. had come
out squarely for the third term and had re-
ceived the votes Of both parties. IL Dix
