Seymour could have received the 80,225 votes with which he was credited. Indeed, his alleged majority of 47,000 over General Grant was greater than the total vote which the Democratic party could honestly cast in Louisiana.
It was monstrous! tact reticence he had never credited her with an overwhelming amount of either: but he had never attributed mere oh, there was no word for it! Monstrous monstrous! Did she intend thenceforward.... Good God! To look on!... Oleron felt the blood rush up to the roots of his hair with anger against her. "Damnation take her!" he choked....
