the interest OF stranger whom you KNOWN
A. Secretary Sherman merely OF the visiting
statesmen and IS such deserved honor 1t our hands
merely maintaining inc dignity OF tho party II the

tee; these wero men high In tbe councils OF tho

lvered Il 10 your two friends In order 10 prevent
insat being offered to man who entire
stranger to your A. l thought IL would relieve
their minds aud that the visiting statesmen would
leave and that would be the last hoard OF IL; knew
shey would not soil out to he democrats Ia that
and 60 back their protests; never thought about
what they would do with the after tho 4t OF
March; II had perhaps this committee would never
have convened.
