Isham G. Harris has vigorously de-
aounced the dilatory action. He says
the Democrats are engaged in a game

more than one recent rampant flibus-

beat the electoral law, and the other to
defeat the proposed combination be-

knowledeed by the crowds who have attended
it to equal. if not ex,e, the annual exhibitions

when the grounds the proposed company an.
