peace Inc whole trouble arose out OF
one of the customs of the office. The
committee passed a resolution unani.
mously generating Mr. Cochran. 1t is
IN the nature of an outrage that this in
sinuation should have ever been cast
upon Mr.. Cochran's integrity. The sim
pie fact of his high standing in the com
munity should have been sufficient to
have given his first explanation weight.
Your correspondent has also reason to
believe that when the school book ques-
ton is sifted that the only thing dis
covered will be some poor bookkeeping.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The prospect now is that the conven-
ton bill will not be called up tomorrow
as was expected This is due to two
things, the absence of Mr. Eckels who
has been i'll the past few days and, the
position of Mr.. Lodge. The latter gentle
man is a member of the committee on
constitutional reform. Just how he
stands has not yet been determined
There are some who think that he will
vote for bill calling convention.
Your correspondent received an intima-
ton to- night that convention is not
simply a possibility. There will not
however, be a convention called upon the
vote cast November /, 1888.
