rive have admitted the above address because the GER
temen who have signed state that they have been
sured by of their friends account of the nonna
ton that made for Chrsana Hundred, and they
slider themselves called upon to give explanation. We
beieve however, that such is very limited. We
have had good deal of conversation the subject of the
nomination for this Hundred, and we have not heard
person find fault with it, and we believe that pop
uar selection could have been made from Christara
We deem the publication unnecessary but have sacrificed
opinion the wishes of the sgners. We do
slider that the harmony of the democratic party will be dis
Mrbed by this affair." which we do not consider
that the of Our State Ticket will be
in the least degree affected by it.-EDs.l
