His nature ia so fener?os and he is so hearty and rm a friend that he has labored with more ardor and earnestness for th jae whose canee he has espoused than he would hate done for himself. There is no "doubt that Colquitt owed bia first domination and election as Gov ernor to Mr. Walsh. In fact, Mr. Walsh would probably ? have been nominated at that time if he had yielded to the demands and eolicita tiona of Oolquitt's opponents. No man in the State haa been truer and non? deserves more from the peo - ple; If he should be nominated for Governor the State would certainly be doing honor to itself in honoring go public spirited a citizen."
