Randall was promptly nominated as Mr. Dennison's successor and proved, in all respects, a faithful follower of his chief. A week later Mr. James Speed resigned his post as Attorney-general.
"Even," said Senator Conkling promptly, in his finest cynical way, "if that man should be Chester A. Arthur?"
