In regard to the subject of their conversation on Sunday morning, the organization of the next administration, he does not feel authorized to say any more. The lack of faith, desire for more power than they will ever have, has disordered the schemers of the Democratic party. No steps have been taken with regard to the future, and there has been less movement than usual. The Gentleman of whom they spoke is influenced by an intense, but a high and lofty ambition to wield power of affairs and of his life for the purpose of doing the most good to his fellows. He has the qualities of faith and patience and rarely seeks position until the time has come. He would not be willing to say what he will do 18 months from now; he merely gives his characteristics and Pendleton's own opinions. He is a candidate for the speakership of the next House of Representatives. His opponent from the North West will not carry the Ohio delegation, the majority of which Pendleton is sure of. His election would mean something. McMaster was complimentary in his early letters last winter and Pendleton hopes that his own ability has increased with time and asks McMaster's good wishes and aid in this matter. His active aid would be of great service in the delegation from Ohio. He asks a reply. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
