grave doubt whether to for the next Congress
from the With or the IXth District. with some
! slight admixture Of apprehension lest he may not
find it convenient to run from either. This is

Mayor that he owned about an acre Of the heart
of the city, and requested that the work of trans
ferring the title deeds might be expedited so that
lie could get away On the evening train. lie got
away on that train, but the deeds-well, he and
