and how confidently he looked forward to it.

/ Whom the selection Is to be made, and many,

! carried only three states. The germ Of his
| historic declaration that he would rather be
! right than be President appears in the same

| policy is to make entangling alliances with
| none, and to keep clear of all enmities and
| chickering's. l adhere to the maxim, from
| which l will never depart, to make no ar

| no promises or pledges but, whether l am
