therefore 10 hear that in some OF the COMPRESSION
al districts the candidates have been called upon
10 avow their preference for this or that Demo-
cratic candidate for The Presidency. This is all
wrong-it is too soon, yet, 10 think OF any candi-

will lie wei.
Our information from the congressional dis
ricts is cheering Our candidates are fighting

support, The victory is snre. Unless our own
friends sacrifice some Of the counties by dividing
their strength between several candidates, The Le-
