On the death of Mr. Kerr, Mr. Guffey tumbled himself into the chair thus made vacant, to the disgust of the Democrats, In 1906 when there was a great revolt in the Republican party and the Demo- cruts and the revolting Republicans, who had taken the name of the Lincoln party united on a good strong ticket, it is well known that Guffey and the Bren- nens and others of their ilk, did all they sould to deton} the tloket endorsed have won the fight. the CX - at Allen | ard of the men the older, rom $ v Ir. and 190% y Democrats, i M in 2 could against 1 declare he narty party wrath ae of ti and now Judge Bon- what the stone Committee of which he was chair- the WwW ummated when niwell desired to kn« Key- it is alleged that he contribution Mr. C agree to the withd Berry.
