1900. CRAWFORD (William H.), Presidency and.—
A baseless and malicious attack
on Mr. Crawford has produced from him
so clear, so incontrovertible, and so temperate
a justification of himself as to have added much
to the strength of his interest: The question
will ultimately be, as I suggested in a former
letter to you, between Crawford and Adams,
with this in favor of Crawford that, although
many States have a different first favorite, he
is the second with nearly all, and that if it goes
into the Legislature he will surely be elected.—
To Richard Rush.
