Committee, the candidate at this time, should
be conceded 10 this County. During the
whole period of our connection with this
district, we have not had candidate, nor
have we claimed one, and having on all oc-

itancy in giving the nomination 10 the man

whose ability 10 fill the station for which we
have nominated him with credit 10 himself,
and advantage 20 his constituents, no one
can question.
