Mr. Pyle wishes us to say that he | was not interviewed by a Globe re- porter to his knowledge; that if he |had been, he wasn’t aware, at the | time he was in Kansas City. that the | water-works proposition had carried | ‘in Butler; that he had no idea what ithe plant would cost; that he never heard of C _D.

Correspon: zhane = to the Hear 'y coun ty Democrat trom Jefferson City: Judge Gantt has been presiding at the sessions of the Supreme court No. 2, which closed Saturday, hav- ing heard arguments in forty-eight cases, and he is now busy preparing opinions on the same. For aman like Judge Gantt. who slights no duty, and gives to every case a full measure of justice, such a work is no small task, and his native talent for persistent application and un- flagging industry comes greatly to his relief. By the way, the compli ments one hears passed upon Judge Gantt are calculated to make Henry county men feel proud. It seems to be the impression here that there is | none of that frigid and affected dig- nity sooften assumed by members of our courts of last resort about him, but plenty of that higher digni- ty ef hovorand manhood that stamps i the nobleman of nature wherever found. Senator Bradley. although unwell for a time, has been attending clos- ly to business, and having kad large experience as a legislator, he will | | prove a most valuable member of the | | senate. Hon W.H_ Davis has introduc. | ed as yet but one bill, but he is giv- | ing most careful consideration of the| important measures that are being pressed, and has under preparation several bills of vital necessity.
