he acquitted himself with credit. Then
they were the legal and authorized protec-

them to put through so nicely. To finish
up with, the California men succeeded in
getting Delegate English named as chair

for Blaine out there, but are for Gresham
now, and think am right when l say
most of our delegation will cast theil
votes for the great jurist when they come
