Che least sign of encouragement. That is the
reason why Don came here in such
hot haste and tried to capture Hayes. He
wanted the impression to go out that he
gould control Hayes. He knew that such an
Impression was the only thing that could
enable him to buildoze the Republicans In

already picked out. You see, Don has no
such hold on the managers and leaders OF the
party In Pennsylvania us old Simon had.
Simon had done something, some time or
other, for every one OF them, and they knew
never done anything for anybody, and On
little for himself for that matter; because
old Simon made him oil he is Well as soon
