on account Of quasi instructions given
TO one Of bic constituents in 1898. by
those who neither sjmit nor obey in.,ruc

very different view OF the Rayner reso-
lu,ions, az they we're called. from What
one of his constituents took Of them; for
that Senator chung 10 bis seat with te-
nacity equailed only by the desire Cor of
