Jackson's grief was agonizing, and he
seemed to live only to revenge her wrongs.
Possibly during no other administration
of the government has personal feeling
played so important a role in official ap-
pointments as in the offices filed by An

have the slightest suspicion that an officer
Of the government had failed 10 espouse
his wife's cause. Such one was quickly
removed Even upon her tomb is refer

Jackson belongs neither TO party nor
