schemes of tho miserable rah!lo who

shows that the work Of the Convention
was all cut and dried; that tho body was
controlled by soreheaded politicians for

Charleston that may satisfy. But you
can mention tho oanles of Melchers and

such assurance as almost to persuade you

You had better tell him very quietly
tho opposition to him by TAFT & Co. Tell It

der the circumstances, or to appoint u
'conferenco" between the two executive

Congressional Convention to determine.

that will give character to yourself. This
