than now and it is believed that were 1t not pre-
arranged, that a pretty strong vote should b
thrown for Cass upon the first ballot, that 10

upon the second trial.

h. should be thrown overheard and have deter.
mined to make firm stand in his behalf.
There are some Houston men who talk Of per.
s;sting in casting their votes for him, but il IA
asserted that they will drop him on the second
ballot.

ING ones that he will succeed in showing Dour,..
