for the purpose Of nakng pshlc expression in ia
vor Of the appointment of Gel Ming AZ Surveyor Of
this port. 1t is high time the locofocos begin 10
wake UP. Wolves in sleeps clothing are abroad. A
few more such maneuvres as the one played Oft en-
Saturday, in the appointment of the District Attor-
ney, and the game is up with them. Ming is now
their stronghold-not that he Is better man, person
ally, than many others Of his party who claim the
appointment-bu he is the only safe one for the par
ty to rally around. Ming has stood nanfally in the
breach against only open enemes but he has had
TO oppose horde of secret, plotting traitors within
his own camp He has withstood the tempest OF
political persecution unbroken and unyielding. No
man in the community has stronger claims to pr eer-
ment than Col. Ming.
