Varlety SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1881, Tie New York Herald, which has Jutely been converted into anorgan of the Conkling and Cnmeron machine, and will not be com- forted because the third term is not, declares that th¢ new Cabluet “falls far below the Cablnets of Grant.” Let ussee. Awmong the statesmen Qen, Grant called around hiw were: Routwell, Delnno, Richnrdson, Creswell, Horie, Akerman, TRobeson, Willinms, Belkoap, Cameron. ' What member of the new Cablnet is not up to the **high level” of these eminent states- wen? Fon the benelit of the ravenous crowd who ore assailing President Grrileld for offices, we priut the followng Wnshlngton speciul of Mareh 8 to the Ciuclunati Commerclal: To-day, in compuny with & friond, fin intimate friend and ussoctate of President Gartleld called upon hitn pndg asked for @ certain ottice in Ohlo, The gentleman who mude this requost bee ‘riended Gartleld in bls youtb and hus buen bis te-long friend. The Pregident's reply is im- Jrtant as Bottling the question wnothor he Il muke maoy removals awong the minor. 48sce of oficers. He srid that tho otfice in ~stlon was not now vacant, and that ho snould make no removals simply to make luces for somobody else in cases where tho necumbent gntisfuctorily discharged bhis duties. o sald that when the comiulssion of tbo incumbent expired bo would take into con- sideration the application of tbe gentleman In question, but would not, under any clroum- stances, reniove a,guvd nnn from un ollice simply to makoe n vucuncy for somnebody else, This {8 now regarded ag ho settted policy of the Administration with regurd to minor appointe ments. Amoug the higher grades of oillcinls there will be some chunges, but no wholesalo decaplintions. It the officesecklug mob in Washington had nny decency, or even ordinary respeet for the Presldent, they would pack thelr greip- sacks and start for home and seek some hon- est way of making n living nfter such n declaration as the above, The spectacle which they present Is a disgusting one. TRE only Democratic United States Sena- tors representing the Northern States are: Junes T. Farley, of Californls (now Repub- Hean); D, W, Voorhees, of Indlann (now Repubtiean) ; James G. Fair, of Nevada (al- ways Republican untll It was carried by the Morey letter): J. R McPherson, of New Jersey (now Republican); George 11 Pen- dleton, of Ohlo (now Republlean); Lafay- ette Grover and John I, Slater, of Oregon (now Repubtican),—total, 7 Inall of these States except Nevada, Republicans liave been chosen sinco the present Incumbents were vlected. Oregon, which 13 represented by two Democratle Senators, now has o Repub- lHean Governor and Leglsinture and o Re- publican memberof Congress, Out of forty- . Tour Northern Senntors, but seven aro Dom- ocraty, and If the clectlons were to bo held overagain to-morrow, but one Democrat would be chosen in the North, and le In the rotten borough of Nevada, Wo respectfully submit that the aspect of things In the North i3 not such asto warrant Judge Dayis, of 1llinols, fn votlng with the representutives ot Dixie to rcorganize the Senate In the Democratic interest, especially since 1llinols way Republican by 40,000 mujority In the last clection, ‘Tue “canal claing” are the latest novelty, if itcanbe sald thatelulins forty-five years old can be novel. When the State of Illinols In 185740 was constructing the 1llinols & Michigan Canal its eredit broke down, and it Issued to contractors canal serlp. "I'lie popu- lutlon of the State wus small, the Stute debt was about $15.000,000, und things were ln o deplorable condition. ‘This serip was nego- tiable, and thecontractors used it in puying for labor, Finally therewas u general crash, and everythivg stopped,. For four or five yeais the Btate suspended payments, Then there was a revival. ‘TheState bssued new boids, taking up thoe ofd ones. It fuuded all the outstanding eanal serlp Into guod 6 per cent bouds, All the seriyp Issued was funded, aud 1t cost the people of Illtnols mavy years of wearigome taxation to pay those bonds und in- terest. Having funded its debt, the State, In 1847, possed an act of Hmltations, In 1800 there were clutmants demanding the difference between the value of the serip atpar und the prices at which it was sold. The State hud already paid the principal of the vutstanding serip, Flually the Legishue ‘ure made an approprlatiun, by way of a do- sutiou to the eluiuants, on condition that it was to be neeepted asa relense forever of the State from all further clalin or demasd on ugcount of this old serlp, Now these serip elalmants have presented thewselves aguln, Insisting that the State owns the Luke-Front Park and the cuds of ull streets reaching the river, and they dywaond that thiy property be sold, and the uruceeds wpplied to the puyment of these J , already-pnaid clafms, and which have no standing In law or equity, A committee of the Touse Is Just now wrestilng with the question whether tho Lake-Frout Park shall be taken from the eity and sonl to pay these bogus elalme. This will, perhaps, expinin mueh of the recent op- position to the bill authorizing the eity to dis- pose of its Interest n the three north blocks of the Lake-Front, Thore s ntleast $400,000 to be divided nmong those who may sceuro 1his old bogus elaim leglsiation, mud it is an even thing, absurd as it ks, whether this bl Wil pasg or not. ‘The number of purchasa- bie scamps in this Legislature is belleved to Nous verrons. be numerous. Tur people of Indiana eannot possibly put inthelr time to bLetter advantage Monday than by helping to adopt tho constituttonal amendinents, which are to be voted on then. These amendments, 1 ndopted, will bring the Constitution of the State, which Is now thirty years nld, abreast of the times, and In 1ts mnended shaps it will Inst, probably, for wmnny vears more. The people owo it to themselves to see that the vote Is large nud the majority everwhelng, In no other way can they properly express thelr Indignntion fur the unrighteous conduct of the partisan Judges who overthrew the popular verdiet previously expressed. No voter In Indlann whoasslstsin thentoption of themnendments will live to regret or be ashmmed of his netion, while those wiio vote agalnst them or Imperil thelr fate by staying away from the polis will not be long in discovering their error, On their merits the amendments are as frrefragably just as the Ten Connnand- wments, They will, If adopted, abolish the political cesspools which are now established in tho State every four years; and give n purer and liealthier tona to its politics, its Government, and It3 Inws, We sincerely hopo that tho majority in their tavor will be vindicatory and puultive; and that It will be lnrge enough to measure the real feelings of the peoplo on the subject. THE LATEST LEGISLATIVE MONSTROSITY, Every dny’s experience contirms the wis- dom of that part of the State Coustitution which linits the General Assembly of Ill- nols to oue meeting in every two years; but there Is a rapldly-growing sentiment that it Is unfortunate that the limitation was not to one sesslon In every four years, and that ses- ston limited to nluety days. ‘Lhie meeting of the Genernl Assembly of this State Is becoms ing & notice that the material Interests of the people and of the State are subjected to peril; and so long as the session Insts, the re- ports of the dally proceedings are read with as much fear and apprehension ns if some calamity was pending. Leglslation In Illinols has undergone n revolution, Formerly legisiation was for gale. Then any person wanting special legis- lation for any purpose wrote, or applied personally, to a member, and, tor the price agreed upon, obtalned whatever act was re- quired. Indeed, It was common then for wmembers to vote themselves speclal charters, good for any pact of the State, and after the adjournment these wera peddled around the State for sale. The Constitutlon of 1870 did awny with all this kind of scoundrelly trafiic in leglslation, but since thon there has grown up another system equally viclous and threatening to public interests. Meinbers of the Legislature who may ba consldered as dangerous belong to two dis- tinet groups, The one is the senthuental, experlmental, theoretle, and wholly Im- practieal, These members have idenls of the truly grand: conceive legisiation that will embrace poetical sublimity ~ and Acadinn integrity, simplicity, and virtue; they dream of perfeetabllity unknown to ordinary liu- manity, and propose experiinental legislation tosmash the world as It Is and upon the wreck bulld up a new order of things, These are ordinarily honest and well-mean- ing, but lack practical sense, which Is ex- tremely useful to n lnwimaker, The other class is the professionnl black- maller,~the man who seeks the offlce of Legisiator that he may lovy blacfmall on corporations and Indlviduals, and who plies his infamous vocatlon with unremltting zeal and industry. Under the changed Constitu- tlon e cnunot easily sell special leglslation; but there l?‘ nothing in the prohlbltions of the Counstifution that prohibits him from legislating to destroy, riin, and break up exlsting Institutions In case they do not pay him a conslderatlon for suppressing that leg- islation. Butween the two clnsses—between the honest visionary with hls.theoretle ex- verhinents and the Intelilgent and experl- enced blackmaller, and they generally act and vote rogether—the Industrial interests of Illinols and every branch of business are subjected biennlally to peril by the foolerles of the one and confiscation by thosa of the othor. Though the Constitution limits leg- Islation to general laws, the many hundreds ot bills pending are Inrgely framed for ex- perlmental and ldenlistic ends or convey a menace or & direct demnnd for blackmall, These genernl obsorvations wers suggested by tho nctlon of the State Sennte on Thurs- day on o bill originally proposed by Senator Clark, of the Coles distriet. "This bill pro- poses that, in forming new corporntions in this State the Commisstoners shall mnke af- fiduylt that cach subscriber to tho capital stock I8 the owner of unincumbered proper- ty toan nmount equal to the amount of his stock subscription; and these aflidavits shall be made a wntter of record. The bill, which is amendatory of the exlsting general law, further provides: Brc, 4, Evory nssignmant or transfer of stocks shatl bo recorded fn tho utlice of the Itecorder of oda I the county in which the principal oflico wnuch corporation {8 lucated, and each stock- holder whall be liahle for ull the debts of the corporas ton which may he cantracted after the taking ef- Seeb of thiv ameridment, and iwhile he or he 6 the hotder or owuer of any of the stck of such corpos rutlon, nod every asdfynor (ussigacer] of auy such stock shull bio llavie for "atl dobts of such corporation contructed nfter the wking otfuct of this nmondment und existing ut tho thne of recording tho nsslyninont or transfer of stock n8 beruin provided for, ‘This bill rvefers geuerally to all new corporations, und to all exsting corporntions, 80 far us they muy contract debty after ity passuge, Onoe would suppose that such a bill wonld be laughed out of any Intelligent body of men In this State, but no less than twentys four Senators out of 1Hifty-one voted for its third reading and pnly eighteen agninst it, cight Senators belng absent, No less than four Senntors representing this city voted for the LIll,—Artley, Do Lang, Mauer, and George White, ‘Pwe Senators from thls county, Adams and Campbetl, voted agalnst It, and one, My, Condee, wus absent, 1t s ditticult to comprehend u bill better designed to destroy all corporations and breal wp every manufacturing establishment In this State than this one. It is Intended, and has that effect, to muke every corporu- tlon In Ilinols a partnersaly, In whieh every wmetmber, without reforence to the mnount of his Interest, shall be responsivle for all the debts of the partuership. Even In part- nerships the responsibllity of the several partuers oy be thnited, according to thelr respective Interests, but under this proposed Inw ench member shall be ro- sponsible for the debts of the curporation. Under thns bllt tho man who holds $100 of he stuck of a corparation makes himself re- sponslble for all debts contracted by the cor- poration while he shall be the holder uf such stock. Nor does the bl permit him to es- enpu the full Habillty by ssslgning the stock. "The responsiblity for the debts follows hiw 80 long ns ono dollar of those debts remaing unpald, It is easy to understand that overy man having any property or credit, and not en- gaged In tho actual management of tho cor- poration, will Immedintely withdraw from such corporation. 'The great majority of the stock of tho companics In this State 13 held Ly perona 'not engaged In the management or control of the corporations, Milllons of the stock are held by persons ongaged (n othier business, by wilows, by guardians, by trustees, and by other persons who hold tho stuck ns Investments, Under this bill cach of these persons will be matle respon- slble for all the debtsof tho corporatlons. An -estate hnving 85,000 In the stock of a corpo- ratlon will be made responsible not only for £5,000 of the debts, but for $100,000 or 8200, 000 of debts, and may. Lo entirely swept nway to pay those debts, No man engaged in business can hope for credit who holds oven 810 of tho stock of any corporntion. His eredit will not be rated by the risk of his investment In the shares, but by his unlimited Habllity for the netunl and possible debls of the compnany, n Ttabliity which serveshs a recordedlen on all Iids property, and of which he cannot divest himsell solongas n dollar of the debt re- wnins unpald. This blll, thorolore, dircetly nfTects nnd destroys the credit of every man who holds n dollar of the eapital stock of any business corporntion in 1linols. . 1t Is unuceessary to say that not another in- dustrlal corporation will ever be organized under Clark’s bill In this State; and should it hecome n luw, thore will be a general sur- render of charters and a disbandment of cor- porations, 'The disastrous effect upon every Lranel of industry in this Statels obviouy to all except the Insane. This bill will have the support of the two dangerous classes weo have deseribed, and which Infest the Legisiature,—the adroit and futelligent blackmallers, aud the Inexperl- enced, ignorant vislonarles, Should it pass both Houses, it is to be hoped the Governor, who represents common seuse as well s the whole people, will do lils duty In the matter, and protect Ilnols from the ealutilty of such a law, In the meanwhile wo trust that 1o Incorporated company will pay the black- mall wretehes o stugle dollar to restraln their votes, THE ERMINE AND NEGRO BUFFRAGE. The Chlet Justice of the Supremc Court of the State of North Carolinn belng asked for an expression of opinion as to the politieal condition of his Stnte and the status of the negro party, suswered: *1 do not feel at Iibertyto respond to the questions submitted. It bas ulways been regarded by the Judges In this State unbecoming their official statlon to participate actlvely, by speech or letter, In partisan discussions, ns the practice Is calenlnted to hnpalr public confidence in their impartiality in the performance of ju- dlelal duty. . . . I regret that 1 donot feel at liberty to violate a rule long in foree, and searcely less obligatory than law in this State.” Chief-Justice H. il Cholmers, of the Mississivpl Supreme Court, holds n dif- ferent opinion, In the current number of the North Amertcun Review he has an elab- orate artlele entitled *"T'he Effects of Negro Suffrage,” in which he gives a decidedly partisan ruling on the topic under discussion, 1t is n slgnlficant article In many respeets, and especinlly so as an appeal to o new Ad- mlulstration. 1tis also & practieal comnmen- tary on a recent essay by Mr. Edward Atkin- son, In which the [atter denfed that there was any such thing as a * Solld” South, *geo- gruphically, industriaily,agriculturally, polit- feally, ornentally,” Judge Chinlmers does not pretend to dispute the political solidity of tho South, but attribntes its existence to negro sullrage. The enfranchisement of the negro race was the “instant elovation of Ignorance and pauperisn to complete equality with wenlth and Intelllgence,” Moreover, in several of thao States, **1t put the representa- tives of that race who alone knesw anything of public affairs or of private virtue Ina hopeless minority as compared with that race who had ever been barbarinng save when they were slaves, and who were destitute nlike of property, education, or morality.” Further than this, **the most su- perficlal effect of the enfranchisement of tho blacka hins been to give them the balnnce of power fn all our recent struggles,” Andans nresult: “At the South there can be no doubt that bad men engage in and good men shut thelr eyes to political practices which, in other days, all partles would have mnde haste to visit with exemplary punishment.” In the first place Judge Chalmers unneces- sarily complicates the question he 1s diseuss- Ing by giving it o general application, when hie i3 renlly applylng his criticisms to the ef- fect of negro suffrage ln the Southern States only. Thus, In nlmost the snmo pnrugraph in which he spenks of the lustant enfran- chisement of a mass of * Ignorance, pauper- 15, and fnorality,” he talks ubout tho sub- teaction of the negro vote giving Ohlo, In- diann, New York, Connecticut,—‘*and per- haps other Northern States—to Huncock ! Butin none of these States has there been any sudden conferring of the right of suf- frage upon the negro. The colored men have been voters, property-holders, and leatslators in every oneof these States for nuny years, They voted with the Republican varty, Thatls ull, The Democrats would have enrried the States nameod had they con- trolled more votes, but the negro vote had 1o more, but a good deal less, to do with the result than the Irish, German, or Swedlsh vote, The Judge is trylug to cover two wide- ly-separated coses with the same blanket,— and 1t won't work. : In the next place, Judge Chelmers revenls the **truv Inwardness” of his whole com- plalut by the use of such oxpressions ag theso: * Let It be remembered that in no time or clime lave the Cauensien race ever consented to live with the infertor ones, suve asrulers,” o . . “'Themen of the North must understand, once for nll, that the Anglo- Suxon race will not be governed by the Afrl- ean' ., . Theromustbo “such lnitatlons anthe right of suffrage as will no longer leave intelligenco and virtue at the merey of brutul- ity and crime,” ‘Thisls the plan pursued in South Carolina with cousiderable success in distranchising the majurity whenever that Il]nnjorhy would elect u Hopublican candt- ate, Judge Chalmers Is not alone In these ex- pressions of opinton. In s recent lettor from Congressmnn Kitehin, of North Careling, ho says: * So fur us the Republican party or negro party South is concerned, It does not amount to nvow of plus. As long ns the color-line Ia drawn, ns long s It isconsidered the nogro party, but fow decent white men will aftilinte with It; and so long as tho weulthy Intelllgence, patriotism, virtue, mor- ality, and honesty are combined and solldly arrayed aguinst lkuorance and supersticon, Just so loug the white men of the South will rule the South. Thero Is no future for u black party In the Seuth,—It Is s dead ns Judas Iseariot, God never dealgned that the Ethlopinn should rule over and govern the Aunglo-Baxon.” Senator Butler, of South Carolina, snys that *so long as the present Republican leaders in South Carollna contlnue thelr party organlzationon the ruceline, and makeo it u negro party, thareby keoplng allve the hnpending menace of negro domination and all the ovils growlng out of It, just so long will the white people remanin sotldly Demo- crutle,” and he uddy, *If the negro populn- tlon could bo distributed over the North,— masses of population broken,—I think it would bo thebest thing for the negvo and for the whites also, ICthey aroto bé left In the South the Southern people hnd better bo left to scttlo thotr relutlons with them.” In tho samo way probably that Gen. Butler prac- ticed at Ilamburz, Congressman Rieh ard son says: “ 8o long as the danger is mado to threaten the South of ighorant negro domina- ton there will be but ono solld phaianx of the white people of the South, aetermined to opposo amd resist such a consununation,” My, Muckey, a South Carolina Republlean, says: ** Unless the white people of the South are edueated, and properly educnted, the South will remain solid for many years to come. Thers is more dangur to the South in tho Ignorance of its white voters than there is In the Ignorance of its blnck voters.” T'he fidelity of the neero to the Republican prrty 1s something thatirvitates the Sonthern white man beyond endunrance, and he now deelares that the South will keep ftsell “golld " until the negro consents or 1s foreed to vote tho Demacratle ticket. In the mean- time, elections are to be earried by what Sir Qeorke Campbell enlls “simple cheating.” “At one polling-place,” ho snys, *not more than 1,000 voted, but there were 34600 papers cast. There was not much [ntlmidation, but only eheating.”” Finally, Judge Chalmers asks: *low lg eovernment 1 be carried on Ly universal suilrage where o majority of the elcetors nro so uniit for the trust, and where thodiftieulty Is lmmeasurably tnereased by antipathies of race and the memorles of 200 years of master- hood on one side and slavery ou the other? Eventunily, perhaps, by education aud the hienling effects of tlime, but this fsaslow proc- ess.” 1L is a slow process when pursued in the face of such obstructions as the Southern chlvalty takes good care to put in its path, Before Republican reconstruction thers, was not n public school for white or binck from the Potomne to the Mis- slssippl. When the Republleans were in power the courngeous and manly Southern Democracy burned over fifty colured sehool- liouses In Judge Chalmers’ State of Misgls- slpptalone. In ‘Tennessee, North Carolinn, Georgla, Alabawmn, Arkansas, and ‘Tesus they had no sooner driven the Republicans from power than they swept the Free-School laws from the statute-books, It Is only six years sinee Deluware permitted colored children to attend public sclivols, and the revenue for the purposeof educating colored children is derlved exclusively from the property of the blacks, whileh bears a special tax for the pur- pose. 'I'hie same thing 1s true in Kentucky, in which Stato the first net providing for the educatlon of colored children was passed in 1874, Every cent provided for thelr sduca- tion I8 collected from them. Where educn- tlonal facllities have been extended they are 1imited as much as posstble, In South Caro- lina the schools are only open threeand a halt months lu the yenr. Considering the difference In numbers, the Southern whites are proportiouately as Ignornnt— or rather ns uncducated—as the bluelk, When the census of 1870 was taken there were in tho slxtecu Southern States 3524 1 white malus 10 to 2t years old clussed as iguorant, and 403,003 colored. There were 817,231 “ignorant” white mnies 2L years old and; over, end §20,023 colored. No womler Juskco Chalmers thinks educatlon n *slow process,” To quote once more from Mr, Mackey: What the South needs most, thorefore, Is an emnnctpator who will freo the whites from the bunduge in which they ave beld by the unseru- pulous lenders of the Bouthern Democracy, who munoge to retain thelr ownership of the white votera by constuntly uppeallug to thely pussions and prefudices, and by contluually harplug unon theirdreadof pegrosupremaey, . . . Thou- sunds of whith voters'(n Soutii Caroling, swho can rend and write, us well ns those who cun't, are too Ignurant to have a shugle poliglenl e suve what they Imblbe frum sonie oross-rond politi= clan, who, In_turn, gehoreily gets his infurton- tlon from somo fourth or Uth rate country newspuper, cdited by gome: Democerat, whao, ton chances to one, never travaled boyond the limits of tho tuwn in which ho wus born, Tho [gno- rance of such volers mukes them intolerant, nuld to thom freo thought and froe spcech are crlmes, Intolerance, political cheating, combina- tions to nullify the practieal workings of constitutionnl laws, consplracies to deprive thelr fellow-citizens of thelr politieal rights, —these are not the means by which to win the “sympathy® the learned Chlef Justice requests for the people of the South, **wrlth- Ing like Lnocoon In the colls of the serpont” —to-wit: negro snffrage! Like all other Dourbon lenders, Judge Chalmers I3 very willing to forget that we ever had any War, and very unwilling to admit ‘that participn- tion In Rebellion ought to be followed by any punishment or disadvantages whatever, They will take ail they can get, and even swnllow *centralization” willing- ly, It they ean make anything by it. Dut the North hns not yet for gotten, that one chief result of the War was tho bestowal of equal politien! rights upon tho negro. Distasteful though it may be to Judge Chalmers and his frionds, thnt s n fact that Is ag nnnutable as the granit hills. And the Governmment Is bo und to pro- teet all Its eitizens and to seo to 1t that they are alfke permlitted the full and free sxerclse of every political right. Unless we are greatly wistuken, this will bo oneot the cldef mensures of President Garfield’s Ad- ministration.

The failure of the Funding bill does nol ereate such un omergency as would justify the bringing together of Conpress fhu the late spring or carly summer to sl through the dog-days, aud throw the busiuess of the country ngnin luto a turmoll of exeltement and foverlsh auxicty.

If that power- ful and overwhelming expression of publie sentiment means anything it means that the people of Illinols have no confidence In ‘the Demo-Confed, party, and are unwilling that the Government should pass Into Its hands. Professingz to be an lndependent man, free in his decislony, it Is dificult to understand how he ean help feeling that he Is directly In- structed by the people of his State, that he is more than ever responsible to them, and that It is his bounden In duty to comply with their wishes and support the new Administration, and that he does not know ns well ns feel that it Is the desire of the country that hie shall as # Senator sup- port the President In all that is for tho pub- lie good. The aceident which has left him with the power of tying the Senate should more than ever make him feel his responsl- bility to hls State and to his country, and it instend of thut he shall choose to aliy him- self with a defeated, Inimienl, and obstruet- Ive faction, deternined to antagonizethe Ad- minlstration at every turn, he will vcenpy an «inconsistent and illogical position, and one that does not represent the people of Lilinols, It Is possible Senntor Davis may fecl that he owes somethlng to the Demoerats who helped to place him in the Seaate, But whoreln does that service necessitate any senthnent of obligzation on his part? It was 1o favor to him. 1le held o better and more honorable, ns well as more permauent, posl- tion on the Supreme Bench, which was given to lilm, then a pronounced Republlean, by his old friend Abratinm Lincoln. Ilas he no feeling of gratitude for that ? No one knows when he eensed to be n Republican. It Is not certaln now that he s not & Republienn In hls heart, and he sald yesterday In the Senate, “I have never acted distinetively with the Democratle party.” To net with the partisan Bourbons In supporting thelr caucus nominations for the orgnnization ot the Sennte does notstrike oneas an hmpartial or independent nction. When the Dewocraty voted to make him a Senator It was not be- cauge they hnd any affection for him or mny trust or faith in him as n Democrat 6t sympathizer with thelr heresies, Does this entall n dobt of gratitude? They voted for hlm on the desperate ground, “Anything to beat Logan,” Thoy supported State-soverelgnty Palmer for weeks and batloted for him day atter day, until Palmer, hopeless of electlon, withdrow from the con- test, They didn’t come over to him even thien.
