"AUGusr 5th, 1886.


81 am truly glad to see that the President acquts
himself so well in his high and responsible Office
The difficulties with Great Britain being settled as
think they are, to the satisfaction of the public
there is nothing now to prevent his administration
closing with great brilliancy. The imbecility of
Mexico, however, must make il a matter Of embar-
rassment to know what is the proper measure Of
retribution to be dealt out to her. Ii to me
that In the close of the war, the people will expect
the government to be Unidentified for the expenses
of its prosecution. How is our enemy to make
this indemnidcationl Can she do il otherwise than
by ceding territory, Mr.. Polk has carried as along
so well thus far, that have all confidence he will
continue to do so. You may recollect was once
counted in the whig ranks ] pas honest in my
opinions then, and am so now. This is my preface
to saying that am no longer a whig, and do not
now recollect single leading measure of this ad-
mnstration in which | do not think II is right.
Indeed, have been surprised to see how entirely
the leading papers of the admnistraton-to wit:
the Presidents message and Walkers report
agree with my own notions Of right"
