has taken unto itself wings and departc1
hence for long period. This fact has
been turned to account, or attempted TO
be, by the few faithful and trained souls
who arc standing 10y the Senator at this
inomentos crisis, and from II they argue
that now, more than ever before, Is he
needed IN the Senate TO cope with the old
slugen OF the Republican faith nom other
sections OF the country. This would have
been doxology TO the hopes OF other
aspiranis had not the senator's record
been against II. Armed with that record,
the opposition has driven the spccious
argument 10 Tho wall aud II has not been
encountered Tor the past few hours Now
that the dread hour 10 go into caucus is
drawing near, nyal feeling n becoming ins-
tcnsiiicd, and there u unNontcd bitterness.
II Senator Harris must 90 down, u will be
while lighting like the devil. There will
no doubt be those who will Initiate the cx-
ample OF lev delegations IN the last
gubeinaiorial convention, and refuse
90 vote Tor the successful candidate, even
whom II has become apparent that nine
tcntbs OF the votes are Tor him. for the
sake oil harmony IN the party ranks, and
because he ~ sure OF the nomination any
how. As evidence OF this determined at
