practice that the better Wing candidate is, the greater
efforts it will make to prejudice against him. But
to those acquainted with George Denny, and knowing
his history the charge OF being only nomualy Wor-
cester County man. and Of avorng any other portion of
the State more than his own County, will be- not little
amusing.
George Denny was born in Worcester, where one of
his parents still resides and received his literary educa

paravey early age, we found him possess those de-
cded traits of character which then believed would
command success in whatever line Of business he should
be engaged.
These were intelligence application fidelity, integrity,
and self-respect, and when he left employment,
felt confidence in recommending him others that has
in no other case been strong. In his subsequent
course this confidence has been fully justified.
He afterwards went to Boston, and after being short

But, it is said he is President of Boston Bank
