OF Mr. Preston King, the Representative Of
The ST. Lawrence District in Congress, we formed
an unfavorable opinion by observing his course
as leader of the minority in the Wing Assem-
b!y OF this State in 1888, wherein he seemed to
delight in wasting time and creating more con-
fusion than we think the most unanimous parti-
sanship will justify. But Mr.. King has Just
spoken so frankly and truthlully on the Texas
Question that we desire to take back any hard
things we may have said Of him and conclude
we must have somehow Inexperienced him.
In reply to an invitation to attend the meeting at
Tammany Hall in favor of the Annexation OF
Texas, MIR. King mantuly says;
