nobody should testify that his father

should testify, and said all the family
were predisposed to insanity. He be-
lieved Mrs. ScoviIle's tainting spells

bruises and scsbs all over him. In 1866
he tried 10 get to congress as republi-
can-but didn't. In 1872, he tried to
get to congress as republican-but
,iidn't. The soreness of his sores mani
tested itself in 1878. when he stumpcd
tue territory against Bennett, the re.
publican nominee, and the downright
putridity of his ailments was manifested
more fully when he undertook to work

sure the nomination Of that same Ben

posed on the stump. and when he failed
