yet I should be glad if you would tell me of anything that
should be corrected or entirely struck out, or that has been omitted.
For I wish this little essay "on the duties of a candidate" to be
regarded as complete in every respect.

[Footnote 726: It is to be observed that at this time Pompey is reckoned
as inclined to the _populares_. His legislation in B.C. 70 had been
somewhat in their favour; but he had not, as a fact, ever declared
himself either way.]

[Footnote 727: C. Antonius, impeached by Caesar for plundering Macedonia,
_appellavit tribunos iuravitque se forum eiurare, quod aequo iure uti non
posset_ (Ascon. Sec. 84). His offences in Macedonia, where he had been left
by Sulla, were in B.C. 83-80; his impeachment, B.C. 76; his expulsion
from the senate, B.C. 70.]

[Footnote 728: M. Marius Gratidianus (Ascon. Sec. 84). These denunciations
of Antonius and Catiline seem to be taken from the oration _in toga
candida_.]

[Footnote 729: Caelius, consul B.C. 94 with Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus.]

[Footnote 730: Cicero, of course, was now a senator, but he was the
first of his family who had been so. The others who came forward for the
consulship were two patricians, P. Sulpicius Galba, L. Sergius Catilina;
four plebeians, C. Antonius, L. Cassius Longinus, whom Asconius calls
_nobiles_, _i.e._, members of families who had held curule office; and
Q. Cornificius and C. Licinius Sacerdos, whose families had only
recently risen to this position, _tantum non primi ex familiis suis
magistratum adepti erant_ (Asc.)]

[Footnote 731: He hints, I think, at Caesar, who supported Antonius and
Catiline, and also the Luculli, who were opponents of Pompey.]

[Footnote 732: C. Fundanius, defended by Cicero B.C. 66, fr. p. 216. Q.
Gallius, defended by Cicero on _ambitus_ B.C. 64, fr. p. 217 (_Brut._ Sec.
277). C. Cornelius, quaestor of Pompey, tr. pl. B.C. 67, defended by
Cicero B.C. 65 (Ascon. Sec. 56 _seq._) C. Orchivius, Cicero's colleague in
praetorship B.C. 66 (_Or._ Sec. 160). We don't know on what charge Cicero
defended him. The passage in _pro Cluent._ Sec. 147, does not mean that he
was accused of _peculatus_, but that he presided over trials of
_peculatus_ as praetor.]

[Footnote 733: Manilius, tr. pl. B.C. 66, proposed the law for
appointing Pompey to supersede Lucullus in the East. After his year of
office he was accused of _maiestas_, and later on of _repetundae_, but
apparently neither case came on. C. Cornelius
