bar and Judge sam r. Scott and
Y Ii /. Harlan of the Falls county
bar and hope pulsated IN the
bosoms Of each of these gentlemen.
But the dream was not to last. The
governor invited conference with
Messrs. Mills AID Rogers. McLen-
naa's representatives, Hon. j. D.
Davis of Falls and Monta j. Moore,
ii 1ater from district including
Falls. 'Inese gentlemen were in
formed by his excellency, with his
most comp'aisant smile, that, as
the legislature had paused the bill
over his be- ID taking the matter prac-
tically out of his hands, he wished
to still further defer to that body
in the matter of n,miug the Judge,
and tba. he would appoint the man
who secured the best endorsem 3ut
at the hands Of the senators and rep
resentativ IS. Here was a hoHdy
do. In vain dill the gentlemen of
the conference protest. The gov
ernor had never hai batter oppor-
tunity 20 do the absolutely square
thing and he proposed to give it a
hug in dead earnest. When the
boys from McLennan came out
Rogers was "pale, but reaolute" "A
they say in the books, while Mills
seemed TO be su IT 9ring from that
tired feeling" March, April,
May, of which Hood has written
so feelingly Monta Moore wore
arge and juicy smile, and his
whlrk ars took on brighter glow,
while ncle Abe" Owls did the
caterpiller act in mis- efforts to
buckle on his political skates in Il
hurry.
The trouble about Mills and
Rod gers seemed to be about this.
Davis and Moore were both for
Scott and were iy for the petit
ton act OIL short notice, while
Mills and X )gers needed
hours if not days for meditation
ard prayer. There were no n.y.
speck> on Hardy's democratic
record, bat ma. ority of the
McLennan ounty bar had endorsed
Prendergast. Prendergast, on the
other hand had fractures in mis-
democratic record big enough to
throw one Of Imboden's shoes
through, ne having voted for j mes
against Mills for cor 9ress in 1855,
and having voted for a pop" for
the 1t Il stature at he recent cleo
ton. Mills and Rogers not only
saw the handwriting on the wall as
far as MsLennan county Judge
was concerned, bat could also see
the handwriting of member afte,
membsr on the Scott petitions
which were being industriously
circulated in both houses by Dayis
aud Moore. In 3 minutes and y
seconds Waterbury time, large
ma )rity OF all the members OF both
houses present mad put themselves
down in black and white az yearn.
ing for the appointment of Scott.
Seth Mills went into winter larters
a. once, and Rogers sat down and
wrote brother Scarborough call
about it"
sam Scott who viii secure the APP
polntment, was defeated in the last
election by a republican for county
Judge of Falls county, largely, on
account of the bold stand he took
for the democratic state ticket. The
Clark men would not vote for a
man who was out giving their can
| didate disrobed hades, and the ne.
groes would not vote for him be-
cause MIR. Shelton, his opponent,
was straight out, blownin- the
bottle republican. So, between the
two Sam went to grass. He is a
good law or, sterling and unc ON
promising democrat Of the non.
boiling variety, if you please, and
will ms splendid Judge.
