chairman by voting for himself.
More fun was created by the attitude
of the delegation towards Frank Moses
when he visited chem at their hotel and
endeayored to be friendly with his old
associates. From their actions it would
never have beer supposed that any OF
them had ever seen the inside OF jail,

he seemed grieved that Frank Moses did
not recognize him, especially as he called
to mind the many judgments standing
against him as endorser of the notes OF
the ex- Governor.
Ex-senator Patterson was conspicuous
for his absence and great many inquir-
les were made for him.
Comparing notes as to old times and
acnuaintances was the favorite pastime of
the gathering, as well as referring to the
fate of old comrades. Wilson Cook
