Morgan was once his friend; so was Cardozo, &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/james-j--spelman--madison-coun"&gt;Spelman&lt;/a&gt;, Ireland and &lt;a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/alfred-newton-handy--madison-c"&gt;Alfred Handy&lt;/a&gt;, and lots of other collud gemmen of the Republican party. We feel sure that Governor Ames will not slight these distinguished gentlemen and their accomplished ladies, and that he will have them with him at the seaside this summer. It would be delightful to all, we have no doubt. In our imagination we can see them hob-nobbing one another, the collud gemmen waiting on the white ladies and vice versa. Splendid!
