There seems to be a general under.
standing on the Democratic side that the
committee will not be readyto report on
Tuesday. The efforts TO win back the
two Democrats have not yet been sue
cesstul. The Ford referred 10 in Harris
testimony is the Delegate from Raleigh,
a Democrat, a native OF New York, and
man OF character md substance. Dem.

frank enough to say it is absurd to sun.
pose that God, II he decided to embark
in the bribery business, would employ
a mere boy to 20 on 80 delicate mis-.
sion for him. It is unnecessary to argue
the case from this point Of view. Hurr's
own admission under fire at short range
puts on his written statement the stamp
OF its true virtue. The so.callcd "ex-
plosion" OF the so.called "bombshell" is
admitted by all but the managers to
have been IN egregious blunder. A. no

There isa good deal OF comment On the
vote cast yesterday by Delegate Jack, Of
Gilmer. Mr. Jack is paired with Mr.
Gluck, (Republican) OF Richie. They
are paired on all political questions and
on the gubernatorial contest. So says
the written agreement. 1t was further
understood that both were to leave for
home on Friday. Gluck went. Jack
remained. The motion to adjourn was
part Of the Democratic tactics on the
contest. Jack voted with his party. The
matter OF the pair being raised, he argued
1t for a while and then Withdrew his
vote. The incident has made Republi.
cans nervous about his pair, the more 30
since it is understood that the presiding
officer is Of opinion that all who may
be present must vote. Mr. Jacks friends
say he would be the last man to break
his pair and that he did not think the
motion to adjourn was included 10 his
coupact. G. u. II.
