"BrIL" WHITES CONVERSION.
In closing, the speaker commented on
the sudden and unexpected conversion TO
Populism of William HI. White. who has
come out and Endorsed the Populist
nominees for Office. Mr.. Hughes could not
understand how the conversion could have
been so complete, for as late as last July
Mr.. White had unqualifedly denounced
the Populists and their methods, and hsd
said that the Republican party was the
only party that stood any show at the
coming election. Mr. Hughes then read
the following extract from speech made
by Mr.. White on July Is. published in the
report OF the State Bar Association:
II want TO assure the gentleman that he
need have no fear on that score success OF
Popuiist nominations for the judiciary.
The Popuilsts nave been tried and found
wanting. and there is no danger that
party that countenances rebellion, riot,
Coxeyism and other outiawry will stand
any show with any common-sense Ameri-
can voter.
Il consider the Republican party the
only one that will have much to say In the
coming election"

to Mr.. Collins and demanded that a
retraction be made and a retraction
appeared the following morning. He said
that the paper started out early in the
campaign by declaring that it cost 81, 600
day to run the county and when he fur
nished facts and figures showing how I'M
qualiiedIy false the statement was it still
knowing all the while that there
was no word of truth in it.
He said that he did not care to make any
excuses Tor himself or for any stories pub
lished concerning himself, as he did not
deem them worthy of consideration. He
then told story that so aptly illustrated
the position of some of the candidates that
1t brought down the house.
