1328. CLINTON (George), Election as Governor.—
It seems probable that Mr. Jay had a majority of the qualified voters, and I
think not only that Clinton would have honored
himself by declining to accept, and agreeing to
take another fair start, but that probably such
a conduct would have ensured him a majority
on a new election. To retain the office, when
it is probable the majority was against him, is
dishonorable.—
To James Monroe.
