Mr. WALroN-ltis worthy oil inquiry why 1t is that the

the belief that he is in health. In ordinary cases the fact
that he nominated in convention would settle that ques

would not impose candidate upon the people who
physically ncapaclaed for the office. The Wing press in
this ID strict have said little this subject and We believe
Mr Fetchers name has seldom, If ever, been mentioned
IN any Wing convention since bis nomination. Snl the
Van Buren, papers IN and this district all
filled wth articles youchng for his perfect health. The
Haverhi IN H. Republican speaks Of interview be-
