TO resign this position. In 1884, his
health being restored, he ran as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Massachusetts. Inc following year he
accepted the position of Secretary Of

considered one of the Presidents ablest

expired he retired to private life and

her was Miss Barrie, quietly dressed,

over 1t. He smiled once or twice, but
his face did not once really light up.
