the defence Of Frank James, the notorious Outlaw
then and there being tried for murder After securing
the ac1uittal of Frank James. which result was de-
nounced at the time by law abiding citizens as an out
rage upon deccncy and Justice Judge Phillips returned
to the Supreme bench and resumed his judicial duties.

Judge Krekeps resignation was dated juno 8, 1t ap-
pears that II retained In the coat pocket OF west

Argument is almost in vain. There are, to be sure

There is however an Enthusiastically good feeling
toward Mckinley among the Californians, 1hey
talk about him with more consideration than any
other candidate. Some OF them go SO ial as 10 my sy
that If Blaines nomination be found utterly I'M

that counts for much In his favor BESIDES toey

There is not so intense feeling among the other
Pacific States in regard to Blaine, but it Is still
strong.
Some talk in favor Of Sherman was heard among
the Oregon, Colorado and Nevada men, but 1t was
rather desultory

Selcsate. We have been long time from home,
but we would rather wait q week longer II there

willing to sacrifice their own personal views 1or
