Aversion to Ticket Well Known.

support the democratic ticket. Mr..
Phillips does not meet his ideas of
what a candidate for the governership
should be and it is understood the
platfrom is not sufficiently aggressive
on state issues to satisfy him. There
is talk that General Weaver is back
of a movement to put third ticket in
the field, though there are no develop
ments to indicate this is more than a
rrmor. Intimate friends of General
Weaver are we'll aware of his aversion
to the ticket put in the field at the Des

something of nature of proclama-

signed by Minister Blanco, in charge
of foreign affairs. This fact makes it
impossible for any government to
make response to the note.
