should have doue if p. had told that he intended
such thing. Nothing prevented my going with the
delegates to the Democratic Convention ut Richmond
but the want Of a companion thence to Washington.
Let me now, before going any farther, relieve your

Not SO fast, if you please; | don't mean what you

of the canvass in our district. We have much talk
here on that subject. did not expect that H. A.
Wise would have any opposition; and, strong Wing
as am, was very willing that he should not. But
since il is So don't know that il is not better for
him. He is a candidate, you know, for particular
reason and il he were to be elected without oppo-
sition, they-his opponents-might, and no doubt
would say that there had been test of the question

spectacle opposition (but such feel doubt he
will overcome very easily,) his triumph will be COM

my own feelings in regard to this matter until this
opposition was announced. So long as he had none,
was willing to be considered Indifferent But when
Mr.. Carter declared himself, forgot what party

after the election. There is doubt that this is the

be considered him an injured man and that

The quantity Of foreign wool cleared for home
consumption for the three ports Of London, LIVER
pool and Hull, gave results a gross amount Of
3O98l 376lbs. Tor the last year, 1858 39slbs for
l64l, and 50, 304, l42lbs. for 1910. Abiding to
the large decrease which has occurred in the i'm.
port Of foreign wool, Messrs. Browne and CO. attri
butte it principally 10 the quantity Of small bales i'm.
ported from the west coast Of South America but
also to the decline of German, Danish, and Spanish.
The only increase alluded to is from Russia TO the
extent OF about 3 300 bales. Ii observed that the
quantity OF foreign material actually paying duty for
home consumption had not decreased in any thing
like the same proportion imports, the difference
between 1871 and 1912 being but rather more than
$500, OOOlb, whereas the imports, at the lowest cal
culation, had decreased upwards Of 5000, O0Olb
Taking into account the increase of the imports Of
colonial wool, estimated at 2576 bales, and which il
is stated would average about 780OOOlb. against the
decrease, the deduction is thence drawn that the de-
crease in actual consumption for the past year as
compared with l64l, is not more than zoo, 0OOlb-
