OF two conclusions drawn II 10 believed either that

that Mclaughlin may have gone 80 far a. to tall ths
the speaker OF the Assembly that Kings county In hin
opinion not only has right to the Covcrnorship but
that It has right to demand the Intervention and Al.
sistance OF David H. lil to gain the Gubsrnator,.l
