It will be observed that the above, statement emanating from Senator Butler is a direct reply to Senator Pritchard's reason; for expecting Populist ' support i Mr. Pritchard, and in fact all republicans allege that the Populists agreed to support Senntor Pritchard at this election in return for republican support of Senator Butler for tha long term.
