less talk during the past few days, but

No candidate for President appearing on
this ticket occasioned some comment and
gave rise to the suggestion that possibly
"the reforme-S" did not intend to offer any
one in opposition to Mr.. John H. Inman for
that place, thereby preserving their con-
sistencY, having heretofore proclaimed that
he was in all respects acceptable to them.
