marks upon the dinner TO be
given to him by the Demo-

answered questione about the presiden-

remarks as I mako may be regarded
as pre3udiced. / am sorry that there

Of Judge George Gray. "An excel

had been invited and has accepted be-

"But I hope he viii accept" said Mr
Berry, "and surely that would SETTLE
