members who refused to attend because
they imagined that Senator Farlow and
REPRESENTATIVES, Clark and King
would be present was the only thing
that caused nm expression of regret
Notwithstanding two of the Democratic
apostates had announced their inten
tion of participating, none OF the trio
Of Judases went. If they had gone,
they would not have been permitted to
ride with the legislative party, because
they did not possess the necessary
tickets they would have been compelled
to travel on a regular train, and pay car
faie. Free tickets accompanied the in
vitations sent to the members whose
presence was desired, but no tickets
accompanied the invitations sent to the
Iscariots. Why the committee of ar
rangements did not snub the traitors on
invitations as well rs on tickets has not
been explained. Whether these Ad-
dicks Democrats did not go because
they saw that they had been snuhbed,
or did not have the hnrtlihood. or would
not travel on another train and pay car
fare they only can tell.
