He was one of the leading candidates for the Presidential nomination before the National Republican Convention at Chicago in 1888, when General Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, was nominated. I was a member of that Convention and one of Judge Gresham's active supporters.
"He and another man are going to help me check up on what's missing from the Fleming collection." "Hey!" Olsen exploded. "What I told you, now; he run ahead of us with a tip-off!
