ments before the Electoral L ..s..ll-sion,
in his negotiations with Southern Dem
ocrals. hcappcarS 10 have had an earlier
and clearcrview OF the political sltua-
ton, and OF its only safe treatment,
than most Of his party associates. And
even ii ip what he did and said in the
premises he did not, before acting, con-
suit with Mr.. Hayes (as, however, he
clearly did), il must have been because
he felt himself To be u Bismnrk Of the
new order Of things. While all the
other lawyers before the Electoral Com
