The objection Mr. BORIS that he has been twice run
and defeated when properly considered utterly without
weight. 1t be remembered that the time tina
Mr. BORIS the representative of the district OF which
Richmond part, the district ha. been remodeed by
Legislature with express reference to his exclusion IT,
therefore, his being defeated is be urged objection
his running again, may not, with equal propreiy be
urged against the attempt # any Wing all May
infer that other Wing could Gerry the district
May conclude that there is democratic majority
against and surrender all
Certainly there is evidence that any other Wing
either reduce The Democratic any less number
rally his support any greater number OF Whss than

done better Until can be shown that other Wing
could have got maIuny over Mr. Jcues, could have

What the circumstances Of his second defeat D.
Precisely those which affected every election
only in State, but throughout the Union The apa
thy and iresouion, which resulted from the unexpected
defeat OF Mr. Clay caused the less Of Congressional
lrcts throughout The Union, and gave the Democracy
the overwhelming majority which they have in Con-
gress. The Wings elected but single representative
in this Stale, and he elected by maoniy diminished
from 1900, the usual majority, 500 The views
Mr. Boris the subject Of Texas had Of in
huence bis defeat This is proved by the fact that
TerGs Wings defeated as well as himself and If
not mistaken, the only Congressman elected, enter
tanned and ayowed sentiments precisely similar those
| Mr. Boris on that subject. So Anu-TeXas Wing was
elected. But 1t the views of Mr.. Boris on the Texan
defeated him, then maintain that the soundnes
Of those views has been fully yndicated by subsequent
events The declaration made by him, in spirit akin 10
the spirit Of prophecy, have proved the
his perception aud the soundness Of his Judgment and de-
monsAted mis- superior claim Statesmanshp; and those
very views their htrrhl ul6men will form the strong
and reiragabe ground upon which base his claim 20
reelection. Mr.. Boris predicted from this Texan bust
ness nothing but disaster nglorous Though

Palo Alto Rcsaea de Ia Palma aud Monterey yet cannot
help pausng TO ask every honest man. IT, under the gener
al acclaim OF JOY consequent upon victories there
is (only half cOnceaed) much sorrow oyer-much
that is the prestige Of future amentaton Whatever We,
OF evil has developed itself, Mr.. Boris predicted and the
time Is fast approaching when the Judgment Of the nation
will stamp with APPRECIATION the views Of Mr. BORIS on
this question He 90 forth and present
representative upon the very ground that Predictions
med by the and dsoredted by the other have proved
IN the lapse Of uue TO be sad and solemn truths. Can any
! Texas Wing, or any other Wing, do this
To those who have personal objections Mr.. Boris
have only say, that to be regretted that they hold
their personal feuds Of consequence than their Do
ieal principles. They ought also remember that ia
