There was but one course left open
to the Damocratsc State Central Com
mltbee in dea.ing with Senator Far
low and Representatives King and
Clark. That was TO read them out of
the party. Their auticnl was so treach-
ercus that no further fai,h could be
placed in them, and 80 was better to
place them outside the pale Of the
party organization. As it is met Likely
that there wiz be an extra session OF
the General Assembly. The work Sf
King and Clark is done. Senator Far
low is a ho,ding-over member, hut we
seriously doubt whether his win sver
