the honor of the unanimous nomi-
nation Tor the vice presidency, its
influence and patronage had no
charms for him. He feels rather
glad that he is left to q life more
! cOngenial and profitable. He saws

House of Representatives and q
President decided by n small major
ity in single state, viii not die.

thought it wise 90 let well enough
alone. The lack OF harmony in
New York, the October election in
Indiana, and some other things may
have had a little weight. but the
