Had it been quarrel over a position for poundmaster of the city of the now United States senator. It would not have been so bad, for this senatorial misfit would have remained in the sphere and obscurity from which he emerged, and where today he still properly belongs. Until it IS repeated here. but few persons. if any. who have not watched the roll call of the senate. would ever have known that such being existed on earth as Bard.
