CHAT WITH HON. WI. JENNINGS
The st. Louis Vice-President Hits
Right and Left at the New
Organization.

! There has been an OmlnouS calm III
the neighborhood OF Faust's Stables
since the details of the new cattle mems
organization was published in THE HER
AID. We have been expecting to see the
silence abruptly broken every day since
the Doctors return, and last nights
mail brought the following:
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
On my return from organizing six
cattle and horse associations. find that
ex-Mayor Jennings had his sit-doWn-on-
me meeting. Thirteen were all that
were present, and some of them stood
by me- Why these people attacked ne,

existed between Mr.. Jennings and my

when a boy, and received a pony; next,

disappointed, and all my enemies, to

was sent with the rest of US to st. Louis

mallciOusly misrepresented, or he is a
fool to go and come and know nothing
of what was done at the convention.
Joe Jennings was, or should have
been, in the convention, and was pres
ent at our delegation meetings and en-
dorsed, as did all the rest, what was
done. He patted me on the back
when l had made a speech,
and said: 'If 1 had not lost my
voice l would have been with YOU"
desert our organization, and get into a
private office in this city to organize
public cattle and horse association.
Well, we all know what deserter is.
Freddy Myers sits down on me. Well,
he is heavy, but how long has he been a
cattle king? / believe he and associates
have bought the Church Island and put !
thereon about 1 800 head of cattle, cows,
calves and all, and bought bull from
Mr.. Jennings. As Freddy is in the
