do not care anything about the references to
myself. L have neither authorized them Hor
have any right to repudiate them. l am
much more busy about lawsuits now than

views OF the future prospects of any party or
anybody; but it seems to me that il / were

for the Democratic party than Field, for
whom L have very high respect in all
things, except | am not, perhaps, quite in ac-
cord with his financial views"
