and some of them have moved TO ST.
Louis. If the people are satisfied, am
satisfied and I have no kick to make.
Il want to extend to Judge Reed and
| his friends and to Senator Bentley.
(he"l never get any other title, and his
friends, Judge Tucker and his friends.
my thanks for the courteous treatment
have received at their hands. There
was a disposition to shut me up and
drive me out of the convention and /
am glad to state that this has not been
done.
Il also want to thank the old soldiers
that gave me their support. To be sure,
all of them did not give me their sup
port, but you will find that nearly all
men and not the men who did the
fighting.
While the judges remarks were some
what sarcastic yet, on the whole, his
remarks were greeted with frequent
applause and made him many friends
among those who expected that he
would kick over the faces. He assured
the convention that he would be found
fighting for the ticket.
