his entire time to Thorn. 10 said that he
believed that certain OF his business
friends might think that he was acting
in bad faith did he now take q place which
would require his constant time and attention
in New York city and elsewhere for number
ofmonths. Neither did Mr.. rayne see how OK
Senator Spooner could take tho place. Mr..
Spooner is o candidate for Senator In his state.

could not take the place. especially for the rea-
son that ne was wanted in Wisconsin. That
