rageJu udge Oldhan's Claims must say that be-
Iieve. where Wilson is the first choice he is the
second; aud .Lhave no doubt that this is the case
relative TO Wilson, where Oldham is the strongest.
One thingis certain, no man stands before these
two asPIrants. In the An circuit 1t will depend
upon the choice Of 7th circuit. 10 determine which
is the 'iavorite of the West
In relation to Governor, much is not said. We
@ant no man to 90 from this end Of the State in
to the Executive choir,s and We will not support
the preteDsjous OF any who might aspire in that
direction. Il will not do for tile West to 90 to
the Convention with aspirants for both these Off
ces; such a course would certainly defeat us, in
our claims for Congressman. l.hope your will
show to the public thesbad policy Of ssch aInove-
ment. Eet the cry be, The West wants Con-
greasman, but no Governor."
