this Senatorial District 10 lake The mauer INTO
their own hands, and save the district from being
misrepresented by Wing. As we apprehendeo,
the Wings have seized upon the bali held out oy

With three Democrats in Inc field, and only one
Wing candidate, defeat is inevitable IL u De
TOO lale 10 hold a convention 10 nominate a
candidate, cannot our friends appeal 10 The canoi-
dates TO come TO some understanding, and 10 sub

will be a, King William Court on Monday
Cannot they there and then agree 10 some ar
