This is only timely or worthy OF comment
now as an Indication of It's evident desire TO
stir up jealouses and conflicts between demo-
cratic leaders who are on perfectly good
terms so far as is known. The scheme would
not work were senator Chiffon still in the
race II is not to be inferred that ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg has had any purpose at any
time to take any other action with reference
TO the senatorial race than he has taken.
His friendship for Senator Chiffon was well
known aud natural, but that this meant at
any time special or personal hostility toward
Mr.. Bailey is purely comjectural. He frankly
expressed his preference for Senator Chiffon
! and that was enough. The idea, too, that
"Bailey's triumph means Hoggs undoing' Ia

personal animosiues and contentious among

condemned and come with i'll grace from
