I'll 10 :35, and. having to attend committee
meeting, he left a card for you telling you
where YOU could find HIM. You did not call
or see him for week All these pretended
facts" or occurrences, took place in
January, on your first visit, when you
went alone. To all this you answer by
proving what occurred during subsequent
visit in Ffbrn1ry. when you were nat alone,
hut were with Dunn aud Day as a delegation
accredited agents"-sent by Brunswick.
Waddel charges you with certain acts done
in january, and you meet him boldly and de-
b.. tantly and prove, too, conclusiVely, by Dunn
and Day, that you did certain 'ther acts in
febSU ry. You have always been a success.
In fact, ''you are perpetual triumph" Your
successes in Washington during The past six
months we're marvellous, as | will show di-
lectly; but, do You know that this defense to
Waddell's charges is, perhaps, the very great
est, the most brilliant of your whole lie? II
you ever d d anytbfng you coulG justly feel
proud Of, II is this defense.
And, yet. | heard man saw
II perfectly stupid-a complete dodge. But
he did not realize the dilemma you were in
mran. the force OF your reply, and TO con-
vince him how clear and satisfactory and
overwhelming II Is, stat it in the form of a
cooquy between you and Waddell.

we're alone In Washington last January you
