There is strong reason to suppose that
Walker, the negro municipal judge nomi-
mated By Governor Butler, will be rejected
by the Governors council, and Republicans
are speculsting whether the negroes will
accept the theory that Walkers rejection
was upon his merits as a man or
because Of his color, and whether in the
latter case the negroes will stampede to
Butler. 1t is pretty safe to say that both
the latter contingencies will happen, and
Butler probably expected b,tb,
