not faithfully executed. In view of this fact,
there will be radical changes in Federal offices

no manner or shape responsible for him or
his utterances. / never asked him to make
a speech or to refrain from making one, nor
am I aware of any one doing SO for me.
He never got any money from me, and never
approached me for any. The Heralds Bos-
