BY Reason of Ill Health, VIII Not Man.
e the Republican Campaign in the
West.
CHICAGO, July PA special from
Milwaukee says: 1t seems probable
that Henry c. Payne, the national
committeeman from Wisconsin, who
was expected to do a large share of
the work in the present campaign in
the western states, will have to retire
from actual service on account of ILL
health. Mr.. Payne has for a long time
beeu almost a physical wreck
on account of overwork. He has
had during the last year several
severe fainting spells, and last Satur-
day morning had one in which he re-
manned unconscious for an hour. He
said yesterday.
MY health is not as good as l would
like it to be and l will have to take a
rest for a few days. Continued ill
health, however, will prevent my taxi
ing part in the management of the
campaign in the west"
Mr.. Payne says there is not a scin-
tilla of truth in the report that Mr..
Hanna and he had a quarrel in Chi
cago.

tute for Bakers motion one to the effect that

conference committee, and that the pOpuliSt
convention be notified Of the action, with a re-
quest that Il similar committee be appointed
by that body.

action; Faint heart ne'er won fair lady"
either in love, war or politics. He wanted
the convention TO go ahead regardless of con-
ventionalitieS, and without regard to whether
or not somebody else had stolen its platform
Of principles or had forStailed il in the move
ment which ii had started.
