not regard the squabble as a matter OF
serious consideration. There was ample
ume IN which the difference could be
ADJUSTED, he thought. and no doubt all

OF MS regard and esteem. He fully ap-
preciatod the Judges work during the
campaign and his management Of the
Virginia delegation. Of which he was
chairman, at the st. Louis convention.

with his visit and he left the White
House IN fine feather.
