poso Of considering the withdrawal OF

OF another man I'm his place. Whether
the matter will ever take any definite
shape or not Is not known. though 1t Is
certainly being discussed by the mem-

solutely nothing Is being urged against
the character OF the Judge, who. by tho
way, is one OF the present lncumbents.
but his Democracy Is being brought some-

from his section contending that he did
not display any great amount OF loyalty
to the nominee of that party for Con-

Again. 1t Is suggested that in the ap-

not hew altogether to the line. and In
this way might give some prestige to the
