ot Van Kirk ft. Bridges, of tha Yakima

' A caucus of the supporters- of Carter .

they would vote aa a unit upon all leg

upon tho organisation of tha houao.
Manw- rumora were anoat yesterday aa
to new combinations by which Kuyken
dall and Mllla wore to be defeated, but .
those who were loudeet'ln circulating
them did not give facta to substantiate
thslr assertions. It wa persiotantly

which makes this certain." --r --
I ,1 But th. confidence of the Kuykendall
followers was unshaken. Dr. Kuyken- -

I can't give you the names. " - ha-
said, ,1ut I have it votes which can
not, be -taken from me. Of thla I am.
absolutely certain, and I am going noma
because I know my fight la won."
Tho hopes of the Carter foreee have
been founded upon the expectation that '
Hobaon? Crolsaa" and "BrowneH duI9T
desert Kuykendall and give their votea,.
to Carter or to some other antl-KQyken-

do this. If satisfied that ha would there

to ths losina aide, and thus far tho In- '
