when he was named first. Col. G.
A. White protested that he was there
merely out OF curiosity and did not

climbed the ramparts. raised aloft
his right hand. swept the crowd with
flashing eye and acclaimed in stem
torian tones, "Mr. Chairman, I
second the motion"
The loyalty of the colonel to his
old friend, Mayher, did not stop
there. He moved that selection Of
Mr.. Mayher be made unanimous.
