reelected ingalls, because he was orna-
mental, and Horton because he was use
full. Six years more rolled around It
was now 1890, and these two bitter enc
mics were before the people again This
time ingalls, fell. and Horton ran ahead
OF his ticket and was elected; continu-
ing in the Office until 1895. when he re-
signed In the winter Of 1895 Horton had
another chance for the senate, when Luz
Glen Baker beat J. r. Burton, but lost
it by his own inaction. Horton was timid
when it came to pushing his own candi-
dacy for the one place above all others
that he wanted. He thought the way to
do it was TO let it come 10 him. little
work in 1879, or in 1895, would have made
him senator. IN 1895 he was almost per-
suaded to go in and went so far as to
arrange for money 10 pay the expenses
OF certain candidate for his assistance.
but others beat him TO it, and when he
lost that chance he lost forever. His
next move was 10 resign the Office of
chief justice and resume the practice of
law. He resumed with almost the same
relations that existed when he left the
practice to take the Office OF chief jus
tice eighteen years before. Then the
firm was Horton & Wagner. The new
firm name was Waggoner. Horton & Orr.
In 1889 Albert II. Horton and John J.
ingalls, happened to meet in a crowded
street of London. They had not spoken
since the balcony speech MEN years be-
fore. Full of hatred they came upon each
other in the busy street Of this foreign
city, the metropolis of the world. They
had been travelling about for weeks,
neither with a companion, and seldom
met a fellow countryman or saw the flag.
Neither spoke for a moment. They stood
still, the crowd jostling them. How are
you. Horton?" ingalls, at last exclaimed,
in his ringing musical voice, and ex-
tended his hand How do you do, Mr..
Ingalls?" Horton replied in dignified
tones. accepting the proffered hand OF his
enemy. Then they spoke" each other
as ships that pass at sea, and in a mo-
mert each had gone his way and was
lost in the crowd. What the devil could
1 do?" said ingalls, afterward. There
he was in front of me. and I had to
speak" ut was all there was to do
said Horton If he had not spoken first
[ would. for he was an American, and
when you are in a foreign land any face
that reminds you of home is welcome
But it was only truce. They only spoke
when they met thereafter, but they still
hated.

Judge Horton, while frigid and reserved
in manner, was good friend and never
faltered in his loyalty. He was gener-
Gus charitable and honorable, and by his
death the state loses a useful citizen and
the bar a great lawyer
