Barker would have betrayed the peoples
cause in the disgracefui manner ne oid'
he could not have carried % votes III nne
county. He was considered SILVER man,
or he never could have gotten the nomDn-
alton, for we were assured at me county
convention by Capt. X. K. Relnnardt

yer man. Our people look upon Barker
