Note 1044 — Chapter XXXVI · CLEVELAND’S ENORMOUS MAJORITY 1881-2
Reading edition
"It will be two weeks to-morrow since I dined with Judge Howe, the postmaster-general, going out to the table with him, and here he is dead! Poor Arthur, he will find the Presidency more gruesome with a favourite cabinet minister gone! If it were Folger now, I suppose he would not care, for they really do not know what to do with him."—Mrs. James G. Blaine, Letters, Vol. 2, p. 93.
