We are pleased TO hear of the grea,
unan;nity in all parts of this district in
regard to the Wing candidate for Con.

will be our fellow citizen, John G. Mil

wish Of the Wings. While such is the
fact, what is the use of Convention to

and moreover are perfectly content that
he should be our standard bearer in the

say that John G. Miller is the man of
