Inc StnvrorIcNn nf porIoM h.,
chairman of the resolution committee,
refused to sign the committees report,
and offered & minority report which re.
ceived but one vote. his own. The diff
ference was that StewardsOn refused to
endorse Webb McNall. He met with no
sympathy or support from either repub
licaas or alliance men, and he doubtless
has sense enough to know that he was
most violently sat down upon by both.

next in order, and the following is the

Morgan. 40; j. T. Bates, of Randall. 9;
