afraid he would not get eight of the

other new members are T. r. McCaskey,
j. Y. b. Hoover, J. Il. Bryan, ii. Ii.
Parks. r.. +. Wakefield, j. A. Cheek, and
Henry Dockery. Tonight Kitchen said
all were here save Herbert and Hahn,
and that the latter would arrive to-mor-
row morning. The new men who are
here say their purpose is TO elect Kitchen
the agent. TO bring suit to test his right,
and that OF the new men TO

them a quorum OF the Legislature was
