His gracious acceptance of the loss disarmed most of the remaining critics. On his desk in Washington lay mountains of mail from Democrats and Republicans alike, nearly all of it favorable. Even while he relaxed last week in the Virgin Islands, he relayed word to friends in Washington that in any planning for the future of the Democratic Party, he was to be counted...
