but have taken pains. however. to satisfy myself
that the vote election day will rotre Governor
Robinson to private ifc What the majority may
be way the other can tell. The pros
poets are so purely speculative that any one may
indulge in whatever dogmatism he pleascs.
''Do you approve OF the conrsc oi Mr.. kelly?
II do and have done from the beginning. l
know the hesitancy of Mr.. Kelly and his friends to
take the extreme step which they did. 1t was not
welcome choice to them to feel compelled to leave

to avoid the necessity of leaving the conven-
the other side to compel the representation

North against solid South. and the question is
going to influence materially this State election"

der the circumstances, think his defeat is utterly
impossible"
