honors come with bad grace from them, as
for several years they had had both the Con.
gresham aud United States Senator, and that
when the latter died the former stepped into
his shoes. Monroe had also had supreme

inconsidefate from GreenbrieF, which had had

care. The candidates could scarcely be
accommodated at Hinton, let alone the dele.
gates.
