collision became inevitable, but find that it
was impossible to take any steps for the pre-
seryation of life after the collision onaccount

meeting, which makes him read Judge /. c.
Green and other Jacob democrats out Of the
democratic fold, having been copied by the
Wheeling Standard and LhteRigencer and other
respectable Independent and republican jour
mails, it is but Just 20 Mr. Faulkner tc say that
he did not use the language imputed 70 him, nor
anything approaching it. What Mr. +. did
say-and all he said-was, that Judge Greens 8
name had been referred to 10 tue meeting ss
being possibly presented before the State Con-
venton, asking his nomination for the Court
Of Appeals, he thought that Judge Green S re-
pudiation Of the nominees of the last State con-

no circumstance may ever again arise TO cause
