Pbttadelphla Politicians Say Be Hud
the
y jSBflrrnee Amendment Beaten.
X rrEOX x staff cokeespondext. i
PHILADELPHIA, June 13. Allegheny's
big vote against the suffrage amendment
was a great surprise to the politicians here,
who were for it on both sides. Ex-Congress-man"R.
Hilton Speer, of Huntingdon, says
from what be has heard of the vote through
the State there must have been some secret
force systematically at work for its defeat,
and the death of this amendment is blamed
oCC Magee.
There are reports here that Mr. Magee
was against it, and confirmation of them is
of course found in tfee rote of Mr. Magee's
is
of The Dis
county. "Why lie was ..against it no one
seems to know. Simpson.
THE END NOT YET.
Prohibition Leaders United on One' Paint,
Which Is That They Have Been Used -as
Cat's Pain and Will Here
after Bo Partisans
Brooks Pleased. 1
LFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT, I
Philadelphia, June 19. Hon. 'Will
iam Brooks, the father of high license, is
greatly pleased with the result of yester
day's election. High license is his hobby,
and he says it has been for the last 20 years.
He considers the overwhelming majority
against prohibition a vindication of his the
ory that the way to deal with the liquor
traffic is to regulate it by a strict high li
cense law.
"I opposed any amendment of the present
law by the last Legislature," he said, "be
cause I thought it would not be right to
complicate the result until after the people
bad expressed themselves. Now, that they
have done so, and chosen high license in
preference to prohibition, I feel perfectly
free to follow out my ideas,' and in the next
Legislature, if I am there as I hope to be, I
will make every effort to have the high li
cense law improved. The fees ought to be ad
vanced, and 51,000 will not be too high in
the first-class cities.
Palmer Stops Thinking.
Chairman Palmer has invented an ex
pression that threatens to become famous.
"I have stopped thinking ; ask Quay," he
said in r?u5y to a reporter, who wanted to
know what effect the result of the election
would have on the Republican party this
fall. Mr. Palmer began to think later, how
ever. This morning he said :
"Well, it just means this: It will give
the Republicans trouble- I don't think
Boycr can be elected,, State Treasurer. X
guess there is no doubt that be was against
the amendment from the .first. No man can
be elected Governor who voted against it.
General Hastings can, for be acted fairly
and squarely with us. The next President
will be a Democrat Quay, Beaver, Mc
Manes and all the big leaders voted for the
amendment so that they can say 'We did
not do it' But if you hire a horse and
wagon from a man. does it make any differ
ence whether he drivesit or sends another
man to do it? You never can convince me
that there were not more Ithan 26,000 votes
polled for the amendment in this,city."
A Third Party Man' Opinion. .
Mr. Palmer' left this afternoon for his
home, and Secretary Reddig will close the
State headquarters and leave1 the city for
Franklin county to-morrow morning. 'He
was in a much easier" frame of mind than
Chairman Palmer. Mr. Reddig is a third
party Prohibitionist, and his regret is tem
pered bv the consciousness that while -the
ConstitutionaljAmendment Association bas
received a shock, his party is by the same
shock brought to the front, "When asked
this afternoon for an expression concerning
the result, he showed The Dispatch cor
respondent a copy of a telegram he bad just
sent to A.. A. Stevens, chairman of the
State prohibition party. It read:
"The militia defeated. The old guard stands
firm, waiting for orders to advance for the
Prohibition party campaign this f alt."
Mr. Reddig said: "I think the result of
this election shows that the only way to get
prohibition is through a third party.
-The Republicans on the city com
mittee are feeling very sore, and
are going into the Union Pro
hibitory League. That is but a step
Toward the Prohibition Party.
, t has been very clearly demonstrated
that it is not the virtue and sobriety of the
people the Democrats' are seeking, but the
offices. Quay's lieutenant in this city,
David Martin, is boasting that his ward J
gave the largest anti-prohibition vote. That
speaks well Republican sincerity,doesn't
it?"
Internal Revenue Collector Martin was in
a laughing mood when he was asked .this
morning concerning Chairman Palmer's
denunciation of Republican and Democratic
villainy.
"Of course they must say something," he
remarked. Then he added: "I think they
were beaten by the people, if I know any
thing about it. "Why of course they must
say something."
"Was the result as much as you ex
pected?" "I thought the majority against the pro
hibition amendment would be from 65,000
to 75,000." Then Mr. Martin excused him
self from saying more, remarking, "I must
now leave, as I am in a hurry to meet an
appointment."
Speaker Boyer. wbo is the only candidate
in the field for the Republican nomination
for State Treasurer, left town yesterday and
will not return until Saturday. His views
on Republican prospects this fall would be
interesting, but are unobtainable.
Republican Defeat Predicted.
Senator Cooper was in town this after
noon, but declined to talk on the result. He
is waiting anxiously for bis expected ap
pointment as collector of customs. The
Prohibitionists are making free predictions
of Republican defeat this fall, and not a few
Republican .politicians feel tbat there is
something in it The McManes following,
in particular, do not hesitate to say that a
great mistake was made by the party work
ers who went into the fight against prohibi
tion. Mr. McManes went on record a few
weeks ago to the effect that if the Republi
can party, with its big majority, permitted
the overwhelming defeat of prohibition, the
result would be disastrous to the party. Mr.
McManes left the city to-day, but a friend
of his says he bas not revised his views so
far as known.
"The proper course for the Republicans,"
said ,this gentleman, who is a municipal
officeholder, "was to have gone to the polls
and simply voted. That the majority of
the Republican workers wore the red ribbon
ot high license, took the money of the
liquor men and worked against prohibition
at the polls cannot but have a very bad
effect"
All the Fanlt ot Qnnr.
The sentiment of the Prohibitionists is 4
voiced by ex-Judge Bnggs, one of their
leading workers, whose legal services were
given freely during the campaign when
needed. He said: "The defeat of prohibi
tion means 150,000 stalwart Republican
votes for the third party's candidate in the
next Gubernatorial contest "Where will
the Republican party be then?" Mr. Quay
thinks be has pulled the wool over people's
eyes by votingfor the amendment Every
body knows that he could have had it
adopted, but that bis orders went forth to
have it defeated," The ex-Judge "then
named several Republican Iocil leaders
who worked against the amendment, but
who would have been for it had Senator
Quay been sincere.
Judge Bnggs mad no exception, how-
i :. ' "l!ff.I

In'Phlladelphra the man who promises' to
be Mr. Magee's"friend "in next year's cam
ipaigH. "When-asked" -whether thVsaine
reasoning would jnot, apply to James Mc
Manes he replied: " "No; Mr. McManes was
sincere in his support, of the measure. He
'wanted it to pass." -
Women Who Charge Fraud.
While admitting that the defeat of the
prohibition amendment was not a surprise
to them; the 'women of the "W". C. T. H.
openly, hargeithat the heavy majority
rolled up against it was the work of fraud.
They.eay .that after the color and style, of
their badges became known yesterday morn
ing bogus'ones were struck off in quantities!
by the opposition and wofn by their"work-,
ers, who, thus palmed off the wrong ballot
on unsuspecting, voters. They .also insinu
ate that prohibition ballots were1 -destroyed
or withheld in certain districts,' thus pre- j
venting a number of votes frohii being cast
on their side. The "Vy. O.T. TLare buying.

can secure, AaiJsaythaftheyare goipg.to
reserve th.emUo.spin, on any orall advocates
of temperance who talk high license, be
cause,. they say, "that is where such people
belong with the liquor party." . "
"We don't call it defeat," said one lady,.
"It's only Bull Run, and Gettysburg is
coming after awhile. There's one thing
about it. I don't imagine temperance people
will have much to say about high license in I
the future. Of course we can't nave any
thing to do with it The issue yesterday
was not the saloon; it was high license.
;We of the "W. C. T. IT. are not cast down.

It will be recalled that during the sum
mer of 1886. and immediately prior to
the Republican State Convention, there was
much fear among Republican politicians
that Charles S. Wolfe, who had announced
his candidacy for Governor on the Prohibi
tion ticket, might defeat Beaver. As a spp
to the Prohibitionists, Quay agreed to use
his influence with the Legislature to submit
the question of prohibition to the people.
When the convention which nominated
Beaver opened. Senator Quay offered a sub
mission resolution, which was. promptly ob
jected to by Mr. Christopher L. Magee, who
asserted that the party would rue the day
when they let the amendment go to the
people.
Quay triumphed in the convention, as he
did in inducing the two succeeding Legisla
tures to approve the submission scheme.
The amendment cannot come before the
people again for five years.
THE NEW LEAGUE.
Its President Itemizes the Causes of the
Amendment's Defeat He Says the
Third Party is la the Fight to
Stay, With an Aug
mented Force.
tFEOM A STAFF COBEESrONDEM.J
Philadelphia, June 19. The Union
Prohibition League was organized in this
city during the campaign. Rev. Dr. A.
Kynett is its President The league has
branches now in 20 different counties, and
the work of organization is to be poshed
vigorously. Dr. Kynett said to-day:
We are still in the fight, and do not want to
be misunderstood. The defeat of Constitution
al prohibition in Pennsylvania was the result
of a number of remarkable combinations.
First The combined power of the liquor
makers and dealers throughout the United
States who furnished the "sinews of war."
Money was used without stint and in every
conceivable way to defeat the amendment
Second The combined activity of the politi
cal machines of both great parties. While the
leaders said "hands off," it is notorious that
the practical workers of both parties were in
the employ of the liquor dealers.
Third The combined voice of the, leading
newspapers of the State, both Democratic and
Republican. Not one of the leading papers
adviated the amendment. Several openly
opposeu iw J.nv iuerai liiuuence 01 ail was
against the amendment.
Fourth The unnatural alliance of good tem
perance men with the liquor dealers. This was
promoted by the remarkable success of tbe ex
isting law known as the Brooks law. Its re
strictive features, administered by our incor
ruptible judges, especially m Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, greatly reduced the number of sa
loons, closing about four-fifths of those which
were open two years ago, and leaving in Phila
delphia only 1.205 out of more than 6,000, and In
Pittsbnrg less than 100. The more public evils
of the traffic had disappeared, and many good
citizens were afraid to exchange this certainty
for what seemed to them the uncertainties of
constitutional prohibition.
Blsh License n Success.
Fifth The combined influence of various
plausible arguments, chiefly that high license
had been tried and proved to be an effective
remedy; then, that prohibitory legislation
should not be put in the Constitution; if de
sired by the people, it should be by statutory
legislation, and the usual exaggeration of sup
posed evil effects upon property and business
interests.
Sixth The strange apathy of temperance
people of all classes, comparatively few of
whom were personally active or contributed
support to the campalgn,and many of whom re
mained away from the polls.
Dr. Kynett did not care to say much
about frauds, of which he believed there
were many. He said:
We are In the flght to stav. This over
whelming defeat is a remarkable evidence of
great progress. So attempt was made to de
fend the liquor traffic The enemy advanced
to the position held by the successful enemies
of the saloons two years ago. Their workers
wore badges inscribed "For High License." So
it will prove in this great war. "Where the van
guard camps to-day, the rear will rest to-morrow."
This election ends one campaign and
begins another in the long war against the
Continved on Sixth Page.

BLOODSHED NOX TMFBOBABLE
A large number of the men were inioxi
cated to-night, and it was leared that a riot'
would ensue. The toremen appealed to
General Wiley for protection, and the latter
ordered out two companies of tbe Four
teenth Regiment The soldiers are now do
ing police duty about the camps, and every
disorderly individual is placed under arrest.
When ordered out, the militiamen were
given orders to load their guns, and if an
outbreak among the men occurs to-night
blood will be shed.
The "speak easies" where the men have
been getting their liquor were closed up to
night by General Wiley, and guards sta
tioned around them. The outlying guard
lines have all been strengthened, and no
body is admitted into the town 'unless he
has the countersign.
Twenty-two of the men struck to-night
and will leave for their homes in Pittsburg
in the morning. Their action will probably
be followed by hundreds in the morning.
The men claim that the quality of food fur
nished them is very poor. The committee
that waited upon General Hastings to-night
also stated that they could get better meals
in any jail in the Slate than those that are
being furnished by the contractors.

AFTER A HORSE THIEF.
Officers Have a Wild Chase Before Catch

tSFECIAL TELXdKAM TO THE PISPATCH.1
New Castle, June 19. Charles Haag,
who stole three horses from the field of
Jeremiah Harman and Jacob Ward, near
Leetonia, O., on Saturday night last, was
captured near Pulaski, 12 miles from this
city last night, by Detectives Marshall and
Brown and Chief of police Rodgers of this
place. When captured Haag had in 'his
possession two of the stolen horses, the
other having been traded to a map named
Dinsmore, near New Castle, but was after
ward secured by the officers. When first
sighted Haag was making for Mercer
county, and was riding one of the horse.
The officers put their horses to their utmost
speed and the race continued for two miles
before the officers got within shooting dis
tance of the thief.
They then called on him to stop or they
wonld shoot and Haap stopped. He was
brought to this city to-night and made a full
confession, in which he implicates a young
man named Lentz. He said he- had been
hiding in the woods near where he was cap
tured since Sunday morning. He was taken
to Leetonia on an afternoon train. Haag
formerly resided in this county, but has been
in Leetonia for some years.

BURKE IS POSITITELI IDENTIFIED.
Tbe Papers for Bis Extradition From Canada Are
. Being Prepared.
Two men named Cooney and Burke are
said to be the actual mnrderers of Dr.
Cronin. The latter was indicted yesterday,
and will be extradited from "Winnipeg as
soon as possible. Cooney has not yet been
arrested. Both men are members of the-
same camp of the Clan-na-Gael. I
Chicago, June 19. The special grand
jury in the Cronin case gave its first indica
tion of results at noon to-day in the shape of
an indictment against Martin Burke on two
counts. Burke, alias Martin Delaney,
otherwise called Frank Williams, is in
dicted first for murder and secondly for con
spiracy witli Coughlin, O'Sullivan and
Woodruff for the purpose of committing
murder.
Application will at once be made to Gov
ernor Fifer by an officer who is now ins
Springfield for requisition papers for the
extradition of Burke. These papers, prop
erly attested, will be spread before the Gov
ernment at Washington and the Secretary of
State will make the formal reonest to the
Canadian Government for the surrender and
extradition of Burke.
The testimony of Michael Gavin, of the
Chicago Sewer Department, who had known
Burke, was very conclusive, and it was
npon his evidence that the indictment was
returned. Gavin testified that he had
known Burke for a long time; that he bad
frequently heard the latter boast of his
friendship with O'Sullivan and others of
the suspected parties,!rhd on one occasion
Burke had expressed his conviction that
Cronin was an enemy, if not a traitor, to
the Irish cause.
poe his extbadition.
It was announced this afternoon that no
more indictments would be returned until
the jury was prepared to make a final re
port and that Burke, had been indicted at
this time on the united plea of Chiet Hub
bard and State's Attorney Longenecker,
upon representations that it would save
time in securing his extradition.
Chief Hubbard, who at no time enter
tained hopes that Maroney and McDonald,
the New York suspects, would be identified
as accomplices 1n the murder, pins his
faith implicitly to the Rurke theory. His
eiiorts to secure an indictment last evening
were renewed by a personal plea to the jury
this morning, and it is chiefly to Mr. Hub
bard's earnest instances that an indictment
now rests over Martin Burke.
Upon Burke's known connection with the
case, the Chief has established a theory
which he confidently believes will lead to
the detection and conviction of every con
spirator to tbe murder. Old man Carlson
is positive in his identification of Burke's
photograph-as that of Frank "William j, who
rented the cottage;- and his wite ami son ad
mit striking points of resemblance, although
not positive in their identification.
BIJEKE IS THE MAN.
Martinsen, the expressman, is confident
that Burke is the man wbo hired him to
remove the furniture from the Clark street
fiat to the Carlson cottage, and it is his
conviction in this respect that gives birth to
the belief that the police are at last npon
the right track.
J. D. Haggerty told the jury about his
alleged conversation with Alexander Sulli
van in which the latter,' it is claimed, bad
characterized Dr. Cronin as an obnoxious
person, whose influence was pernicious to
the Irish cause. Haggerty's testimony was
in the main a repetition of his stor before
the Coroner's jury.
T. J. Conway told abont Cronin's fre
quently expressed fears for his life, and
Frank Scanlan gave a description of the
man wno drove up lor uronin on the night
of tbe tragedy. Napier Moreland, Dinan's
hostler, also described the man who hired
the white horse, bnt failed to identify
Burke's photograph as of that individual.
A STEIKTNG EESESIBLANCE.
E. G. Throckmorton, the real estate man,
detected a striking resemblance between
Burke and the man Williams who hired the
Carlson cottage, and added another link to
the chain of evidence that is surrounding
the Manitoba suspect Among tbe other
witnesses who testified before thejury were
the following: Mrs. Conklin, "Joseph J.
Cronin, the murdered man's brother, and
John F. Beggs. All these persons have
testified before, and their evidence is well
known.
A dispatch' from "Winnipeg says: Bnrke
has made no confession except his ac
knowledgment that' he is Martin Burke,
and that he lived in Chicago and knew
Cronin. He is waiting impatiently for the
arrival of the Chicago officers, who will be
in town to-morrow afternoon. At the re
quest of Superintendent Hubbard, of Chi
cago, Police Chief Murray has taken the
prisoner out and had him photographed.
Burke objected most strongly, and tried to
argue the question with the chief all the
way to the gallery. When he was being
photographed Burke moved a number of
times. The photographer finally secured a
shot at him and procured an excellent like
ness. Copies were mailed to Chicago police
headquarters.
An entirely new Cronin suspect is being
looked for to-night His name is Michael
Cooney, and he has an odd sobriquet "The
Fox." Cooney and Burke are claimed to
be th'e two men who actually killed Cronin.
Both are Clan-na-Gael men, members of
Camp 20. (Jlooneyis a bricklayer by trade,
and, like Burke, came here from Ireland
only a few years ago. Burke's number in
Camp 30 was 108, and Cooney's 109.

I8FICIAI. TILXOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
New Yobk, June 19. Dr. J. S. Young,
Deputy Health Commissioner of Brooklyn,
at a late hour to-night, received a message
by telephone from Dr. J. B. Bogert that he
(Dr. Bogert) had been attending a patient
named Dr. E. "W. H. Duncan, surgeon of
the steamship Colon, since Friday, and that
he was pretty confident that the patient bad
yellow fever. He feared he might not live
through the night Dr. Young immediate
ly communicated with Health Commis
sioner Griffin, and the latter at once sent
T)r. George B. Convery, the Inspector of
Shipping, to make an investigation. The
inspector reported that there was hardly a
doubt of Dr. Duncan's disease being yellow
fever.
Commissioner Griffin decided not tore
move the patient, but to establish a strict
quarantine around tbe Hancock street
house. Policemen were detailed to guard
the' front andftrear and allow no one to
leave or enter without the authority of the
Health Department Commissioner Griffin
was indignant that Dr. Bogert had violated
.one of two moststcict sanitary rules in'not
reporting the'ease until he feared that the
patient might die, and he laid the facts be
fore Police Justice Walsh, who issued a
warrant for Dr. Bogert's arrest Dr. Bogert,
however, will not be taken into custody for
several days, but will be allowed to remain
at the house with his patient. It is said
that Dr. Bogert has been attending other
patients since he took charge of Dr. Duncan
and it is feared that the infection may have
been communicated to some ot them.
Health Commissioner Griffin said to-night
that there was no doubt whatever that it
was a case of genuine yellow fever, and
therefore bad made arrangements to remove
the patient to quarantine during the night.
He then disclosed the fact that a quarantine
boat was already at the foot oi Division
avenue for that purpose. The removal of
Dr. Duncan was very carefully carried out
under the direction of the health officials at
a late hour to-night His condition is con
sidered very critical.
Mrs. Redmond, a washerwoman of Den
nett place, is a prisoner with Dr. Bogert in
tne nancoeK street house. She was em
ployed to-day to do some washing, and was
at her work in ignorance of the natnre of
the illness at the house. Commissioner
Griffin instructed the policeman not to let
her leave the house. Some of the residents
in tbe neighborhood have made arrange
ments to close up their houses and leave for
the country.

the case of Mrs. Jessie Downie, who died
two weeks ago at the city hospital in
Brooklyn from the effects of poison, and
whose hnsband, Dr. James Downie, was ar

HER HORRIBLE C0NFE6SI05.
An Old Woman Who Killed Her Hnsband
and Then Strung Him Up.
Indianapolis, June 19. On November
12, 1888, Richard O. Allen, an aged farmer,
living five miles southwest of Washington,
Ind., was found tied to a tree near his house
with his throat cut from ear to ear. The
death was thought to be a case of suicide,
and no inquiry was made. A few days ago,
while laboring under religious excitement,
Mrs. Charlotte Allen, the 70-year-old widow
of the dead man, confessed to two colored
servants that she committed the crime. She
said that she and her husband had tronble
as to who was the rightful owner of the
farm, and in order to settle the dispute, she
gave her husband morphine in his tea.
Allen fell asleep in the garden. She
then procured a table knife and a rope and
tied the rope around.his body, and making
several slashes at his throat, half severed
the head from the neck. She then dragged
the body to a tree and tied it there.

A representative local liquor- dealer
speaks. He says they have only just begun.
He tells of Excise Commissioners to sup
plant License Judges, of interchangeable!
bond's, of thanks to Judge White, and other
new ideas. His name is Matt Weiss. That
name is representative enough. Its owner
speaks for all the trade, or the better part of
it On the other hand, Prohibitionists are
only beginning again. They repudiate all
politicians after to-day. Then there are in
structive figures ard gossip. All will ba
found appended.
-
Now that the amendment campaign is
over, the public will watch with keen inter
est the movements of the still organized
forces on each side, to see whether they will
disband or again marshal their workers for
other campaigns; much the same as all
Europe watched the Union army at the
close of the fate war and for a time trembled '.,
lest it be used in conquering other
nations. The Prohibitionists have
already declared that they would commence 4
another campaign, and, from news gathered
last night, it is evident that the Antis will
not rest on their victory a single day; but,
encouraged by what has been done, will turn
the forces of all their organizations to gain
still greater victories that they had not
hoped to broach before.
In a conversation! last night with Mr. ""S'
Matt Weiss, a member of the Executive "
Committee of the Anti-Prohibition General
Campaign Committee, that gentleman told
a Dispatch reporter it waspretty well de
cided that all the organizations of the
-liquor men" throughout the -State: would bo"'wa
kept up, and would not only attend ''to
those politicians who had shown their ad
verse colors in the present campaign
As Their Actions Merited,
bnt were already figuring on amendments
to the Brooks law. First among these will
be the legalizing an Excise Commission to
replace the License Judges; a provision
making it possible to get bondsmen outside
the ward of the applicant, and several other
little thing3 that have bothered the liquor
men, and for which they have not yet found
a satisfactory remedy.
Continuing the information, Mr. "Weiss
said: "We are just waked-up now, and are
ready for business. The organizations are
all in working order, and it is our purpose
now for ail to work together In every way
to elevate the busines's and show the public
that it can be carried on in a way that will
be creditable, and that, in the hand3 of re
sponsible men, who know their busfness and
do not abuse or imperil the interests of
others, it can be carried on and respected as
any other line of trade; and, moreover, show
that it was a wrong idea to think of abolish
ing the sale of liquor.
Amendments Necessary.
"If any faction of the Antis will suggest
or further plans to amend the Brooks law,
we are only to ready to join in with them.
The Brooks law is all right in
some respects, but several amendments
are needed, which have been talked over in
our meetings. The main plan is to have an
excise Commission to replace the License
Judges. The number on the commission
would vary with the varying population ot
the counties. That has not yet been fixed.
In counties of large population,
like Allegheny and Philadelphia, the
number might be five, and less for smaller
counties. The members of the Commission
shonld be business men, men who know the
needs of the different districts, and can de
cide better than one man. As it is, of
course, I cannot complain; but many good
men have been knocked out, and others pnt
in, right the reverse in character.
"Again, many now have to pay big prices
as bonuses for their bonds and are put to
inconceivable trouble, because they are
obliged to get .their bondsmen from the
ward their saloon is in, whereas it should be
possible for a, man to get a bond from any
responsible man in his ownjjr any other
ward." y
Perfectlr Easy.
"Do you think your people wonld have
any trouble in obtaining such amendments to
the Brooks law?" asked the reporter.
No, sir. not one bit I thin t that would bo
handled all right."
"What will .you folks do with Quay and his
followers T" was asked- Bnt Matthias nould
not talk on this tack, but commenced to talk
about elevating the business. Said he: "X be
lieve, and so do all responsible saloon men.
that all laws must be obeyed to the letter. Tne
saloon has restrictions placed on it which are
fair, and they must be obeyed, and, above all
others, our organization will see that they are
obeyed, and that irresponsible men do not dis
grace the business.
"The License Judges, of course, will have an
other whack at us nextyefcr. as the Legisla
ture does not meet sooner; so that nothing can
be done until year after next r.
"We have considered in our meetings, and
may yet draft a set of resolutions which could
be sent to Jndge White, thanking him forth
good he has done us in thf campaign.
"Do you mean that?' asked the repom
rather nonplussed at the declaration.
"Certainly I do,' replied Hi. 'Wai"'
