JosKPH SAYrns was pronouncedly
In the field. But from some
cause his following was extremely limited.
There was organization OF forces on the
old mans" side; there was concert OF action
In effort and methods; there was point OF
rally and principle Of cohesion; there was
enthusiasm oil through his cohorts. We
shall never forget the appearance OF that
little band that met in the Grand Windsor
hotel rooms, the "5AYERs Headquarters"
They were slim In numbers but resolute in
purpose. Every few moments the door TO
the room opened and entered picket
guard or q scout that had been out to sur.
vey the field and bring In news to that do
moralized crowd. But no glad tidings came
with the gliding hours, until at last hope
for SAYREs fed from the visages OF the de-
jected minority. Messages few with the

and the rest, urgently asking the use OF
their names. But oil in vain, 10 them mo

they went into battle only to experience
an overwhelming defeat in the evening.
And here was the lesson that was read BY
the thoughtful GOVERNOR RoBERrs had
made at any rate o good executive. He
may have been little sstray on the
school question, be may have erred In
his public land policy, but he had safely

breakers Us numberless a. any she had en-

hereafter. The accounts were cast in that

always finally resolves itself by, the bal

"anybody to beat ICELAND" is the strange
device inscribed upon the sheets that futtel
