wnen you went Into the Governors
ONCE such as to few men In
this life. Your inaugural was a great
disappointment to your friends and
provoked your enemies to renewed
and relentless activity. You had
shown yourself too little and mar

my dear sir, the Goyernorship Is a
very high honor indeed, but it also
