Whig convention at Baltimore those
wiseacres Of Washington who still re-

Democratic nominee the doubling
Thomases were convinced that he was

The obscurity Of "Jim" Polk, which
that SNUG, unsmiling, uninspired little
man Of respectable abilities had pre-

displaced at the convention. and OF
Clay. against whom he was matched
