Colonel wynne will go to Cooke. Hon.

j. w. Bailey, who is being detained in

feeling for Colonel Wynne in the follow

his fidelity to the democratic party is of
that kind which knows no "yariabseness or
shadow of turning" He has fought inside
of the party for his friends, and when his
friends have been defeated. he has al
ways fought for their successful rivals
But his character and party loyalty are
not his only claims upon the favor OF
the democratic party. He is, in the point
of ability the equal of any gentleman in
the race. This Is saying very much, be-
cause they are all able men. but IT is
not saying too much, because Colonel
Wynne is himself very able man. had
intended to come home and do what little
| could towards helping him, but the situa-
ton here has been such that ii has been
impossible for me to leave. Very Truly
your friend, ]. w. Bailey.
