BAILEY CALLED FOUR-FLUSHER.
Texas Enemies Say Resignation Was
Fraud Upon People.

Galveston, Texas March 5.-The
action Of Senator Joseph Bailey in
rendering his resignation as the Texas
Junior Senator and then recalling It
within a couple Of hours has revived
Baileyism in his home State.
At a conference of the State as
sociation, organized several months
ago to fight Baileys reelection, and
including in its membership over 100
prominent Democrats, this last action
of the junior Senator was denounced
as Bailey four-fush and never in
tended sincerely-a collusion between
Senator Bailey and Governor Col
quit TO bring out a big boom for
Bailey.
The conference declares the res
ignation plot 'is fraud upon the con
fidence OF a trusting people," and that
Bailey was merely duping those who
followed him so as to cover ND his
defense Of a man who is said to have
bought his seat in the United States
Senate.
Attention was directed to the fact
that the only protest against his res
lgnation from Washington came from
Republicans who had voted with
Bailey for Lorimer and that not a
message from any of the Texas dele
sauon was sent. 1T was also observed
that the message requesting him to
withdraw his resignation did not
come from the Legislature but that
a group of Bailey's friends assembled
IN the legislative halls and summoned
Governor Colquitt, who read his re-
ply to Bailey's resignation.-Balti
