Gays. Let's see, this Is Monday. Go
to Ballston, as you were going to,
tomorrow morning. Get that pack
age from Lanier, and send 1t to me
from there by registered mail. Be
sure to have it registered. Then catch
the afternoon train to New York. That
ought to get you in by five-thirty or
six. I'll telegraph Wendell tonight to
find out what's the fastest steamer
sailing next morning, and tell him to
take passage for you. Hunt him up
as soon as you reach town. And sleep
on board the boat. Thatll cut out
Blanche back here to us by the earli-
est steamer from France or England
that you can get. And while you're
IN Paris, II you can hire some on the
quiet to drop over into Italy and put
dAntri into the accident ward of
some dago hospital for month or
two, don't mind paying five thousand
for the job. Come up to my study,
and I'll fix you up financially for the
trip, and give you that note to Bruce
Lanier."

the rapped-out series Of directions

response, was pleased herewith. And
the latent fondness and trust which
were slowly placing his recent con-

Conover looked lovingly after Gerald

gale that is still remembered as the

whips lashed the many-windowed

press had to admit as much. This
paper, which cannot be charged with
a prediction toward Cone Johnson,
gave the gentleman three column
notice, and the report was flattering
indeed This paper, among other
things said of this great speech:
Gone Johnson of Tyler, candidate
for governor and advocate of statutory
prohibition, switched from the course
of his speech, while speaking to $500
people in Beethoven hall, and
with soaring epithets condemned the
liquor traffic and the American saloon
in what was, beyond doubt, the most
sensational prohibition discourse ever
delivered in San Antonio"
This same account also told us that
so great was the applause that John
son finally remonstratively appealed
to his audience to be quieter that he
might finish his address.
Johnson met an ovation throughout
all that southwest country, supposed
to be the enemy's country"

the teachings of Christ and let others

|coLQUITT AND THE PLATFcRM

An interesting question just now
is, will Colquitt bolt the democratic
platform, in case he gets the nomina'
ton? From his utterances it would
seem he intends to do so. He is the
candidate of the ants and is pander-
| ing to them for their votes. He prom
! ises them that if he is elected COVER
nor there will be no state prohibition.
But suppose this: Suppose of the
| four candidates in the race Colquitt
under our peculiar primary system
gets the nomination by minority
vote (and if he gets the nomination it
will be by minority vote, because he
cannot hope to poll more votes than
the other three men combined, no
matter what happens). Then suppose
submission carries by large majQS(
lily, which the Herald thinks viii
the case. Will Mr.. Colquitt accept
the verdict of the voters and submit
to the will of the majority, or will he
decline to accept decline
to stand on the demands of the dem
ocratic platform? From the tone of
his speeches he will decline to do so;
from the tone of the papers who are
advocating his nomination he will not
be permitted to do So
In that event who would be the bolt
ers, the democrats in convention who
adopt the platform with the submits
sion plank, or Mr.. Colquitt, who re-
fuses to stand on the platform?
1t is an awkward situation for Mr..
Colquftt and his supporters, and
should Mr. Colquitt refuse to abide
by the vote of his party on this ques-
ton the convention would be justified
in refusing to confirm his nomination.
However, Cone Johnson will be the
nominee, and it is not worth while to
speculate further on possibilities
of Colquitt's nomination and the con-
vention failing to ratify his nomina-
ton because of his Medicines to the
whisky cause.

may obtain.

merely to say that he will always
