Discussing the petition. Mr. Bullock
said:
II and at least one of my clients, will
vote the Democratic ticket, SO you can see
do not consider this a political ques-
ton. If / was a Republican politician
would not have thought of appearing as
attorney in this at this time for the
purpose of making a grand-stand play fol
virtue for fear of alternating some of those
numerous and influential fellow-citizens
who are so very useful and desirable in
campaign times and of whom the Repub-
| licans at this time have fewer than they
| desire--the liberal fraternity with whom
| Mr.. Quigley seems to have dealt with sc
| leniently."
