HOW RICHARD AND DOROTHY SAILED AWAY There came but the one name before the convention, and Governor Obstinate was nominated for the Presidency by acclamation.

Senator Hanway wired his warm congratulations, and to such earnest length did they extend themselves that it reduced the book of franks conferred upon Senator Hanway by the telegraph company by five stamps.

Governor Obstinate thanked Senator Hanway through the eye-glassed Mazarin, who seized upon the occasion to say that Governor Obstinate was more than ever resolved in event of his election--which was among things sure--to avail himself of Senator Hanway's known abilities touching public finance in the role of Secretary of the Treasury.
Senator Hanway and Mr.Harley, the Georgian Bay-Ontario Canal still rankling in the popular regard, did not attend the convention.

This permitted those gentlemen to be present at the nuptials of Dorothy and Richard, a negative advantage which otherwise might have been denied.
Mrs.Hanway-Harley, basing it on grounds of duty, assumed formal charge of the marriage arrangements in the later hours.

She asked Richard to name those among his friends whom he desired as guests at the wedding.
Richard gave her Mr.Bayard, Mr.Sands, and Inspector Val.
