MIR. prEuFFER.s RpAsoNs,

IN Withdrawing the amendment which
he had offered 90 the bill TO establish a
being to also provide for the location OF a
Southwest Texas normal at San Marcos,
MIR. rteuner this morning said that tho
friends OF the San Marcos normal recog-
nised the fact that some OF the friends of
tho Denton normal. and who were urging
The establishment OF tho school there,
were under tho impression that the
amendment was sought to be added to the
iili In order TO defeat H. This was not
true. The friends Of San Marcos want a
normal and believe the amendment could
be adopted without Injury TO the cause of
Denton, but rather than be placed in a
false light and 10 have the friends Of san
Marcos misunderstood and for the further
purpose of throwing nothing in Denton 3
way. the amendment was withdrawn.
