THAT NASH LETTER.
The governor referred to the letter
of resignation written by Judge Nash
during the senatorial fight, in which
that gentleman took occasion to insult
the governor, by declaring that his
honor forbade him holding a position
under the state administration.
Judge Nash afterward tried to ex-
plain this action on this part by saying
that he had heard that l accused him OF
not paying attention to the interests OF
the state ticket. l replied to this
statement by saying that we were on
sufficiently good terms for Nash to
come to me and talk the matter over

Hon. r. NJ. Hazeltine, the present
State Mine Inspector, was a visitor at
Judge Nash's Office one day, when the
Judge was told by friend that he had
not been paying much attention to the
state ticket in the campaign. He re-
piled:
" No, I have not. The state ticket
can look after itself, My hands are
full caring for the legislative ticket in

course of conversation with me later,

HERE HE IS AGAIN.
"And now this same Colonel Dick is

Foster In the course of converse
tion today that If Dick were him
self candidate before the people
he would lose the party 20 per cent of
the Republican votes. He did not know
that the percentage of loss would run
as high, as Dick Is only managing an
other mans campaign. But the loss
will be enough.
'Mr. Foster had no hesitancy in ex-
pressing himself to me when talking of
Dick. And, for that matter, Dicks re-
cord is not to be boasted OF. His trip
to Santiago, for instance, when he fed
from the scene OF the late battle to New
Orleans, in order to escape the fever,
shows what manner OF man he Is. The
regiment OF which he was Lieutenant
Colonel was left behind.
