lie had no idea that he would be
elected, no p ersonal wish to assume
the Office; nor would he have wished
it, even had there been any probahil
ity Of his election. Referring to his
candidacy, he wrote: Il need not
say that this sacrifice of peace and
rest is like the surrender of what
remnant Of life l may have.''
The candidacy of Mr.. Cooper had
no effect upon the result of the cleo
tion. but in view of the closeness OF
the contest between the Republican
and Democratic candidates, the sue
cess of the Greenback party even in
one State might have changed the
whole complexion Of the election.
Mr.. Cooper was saving, without
being parsimonious shrewd. without
being sharp; careful. without being
