"_Oct. 28, 1871._
"DEAR SIR,--I answered, declining, and they have determined to run
Horatio Seymour without asking his consent.
"My letter, very full and condemnatory, is ready for the press. I don't
much like to print it without consultation, especially as to one point.
But later than Monday morning would be too late. What shall I do?
"Y'rs, &c.,
"CH. O'CONOR."
