covered from the Generalization
caused from the defeat OF last fall, It
is admitted all around that unless
great care is observed in selecting a

the nomination. To do this he would
but his friends say it would give him
splendid send off for the Presidency.

ton and shutting out the external
world. He placed upon the table a
long clay pipe, from which he had
been raising a cloud of smoke, and
took up one of half a dozen felt hats
with as broad a brim as a Colorado
ranchman's. His clothing was of the
cOarsest Scotch twill, and like d
Quaker's sCit, was gray, and of one
