onlv the Governor, but the Legislature ana
Mr.. Fosters seat in the u. S. Senate.-alI
on f. II. Foster. The Post says, she has
always stumped the State for the Wings
when they have carried it." We never
heard of that circumstance before, nor did
any body else. We know well that when
he "stumped the State" as candidate he
led 1.-The Wings into a quagmire of defeat
and we have mt heard of his stumping 1t
since.
Rer. W. g. BrolonlolC is The Posts
next bird of promise in Tennessee. de
prints the only Wing paper in all the
South West that opposes Gen. Scott, and
has recently tried his hand at getting up
meeting in his own Knoxville to reject
Gen. SCOTS nomination. By tie help OF
the entire Loco -Foco party, he got up con-
siderable of row, but failed of his object.
The meeting broke up in confusion, but ne
admits in his paper that the majority were
for Scott.
The Post distresses US with the informa-
ton that several members of the decom-
posing Union party of Georgia and Ala
bama won't vote for Gen. Scott. If it
would but fairly set before its readers their
reasons for this resolve, we would thank it
to reprint the list daily till Election. The
naked truth is that they want President
who will hunt down Free Soil Wings as
Frank Pierce has hunted down Free Soil
Democrats in New-Hampshire, and they
suspect Gen. Scott is not their man. They
know him to be friendly to the Compro-
mise; they know he will faithfully execute
the Fugitive Slave Law but they want a
man who will also execute all who dislike
the slave hunting compact, and they can't
trust Gen. Scott for this. We commend
their sagacity, and exhort The Post to
limits their example.
Samuel T. JlisoD, until now a leading Wig of
Washington County, in this State addressed Demo-
cratic meeting at Whitehall ayswing that he felt II a
preference TO Scott"
Now The Post don't know enough of
this " leading Wing" to give his name
correctly; and dare not let its readers
know that he is a bitter Silver Gray who
goes for Pierce out of hatred to Free Soil
ism. He is not man of great inf uence,
and never was a "leading Whig;" but
we think he may be relied on to increase
Scott's majority in Washington County
about 100 votes. 1.-The were better known,
he would do US better service.
The Post has actually brag for us
conSin! Hear
"Mr. Utter, and many other citizens Of Walworth
County, Wisconsin, who were Wings up to 1918, and
since Free Sellers signed the call for the Democratic
ratification meeting Tie Star, the Free-Soil paper In
that county also supports Pierce and King Las, year
Walworh County voted for Governor, Farwell, Wing,
1,G4l; Upharn, Democrat s5s Now it is sure to give
majority for Pierce and King"
This Star was once a Wing paper,
but went off, with a number of followers,
for Van Buren, in 1913. The managers
undertook to carry over their followers to
Pierce, thinking them ripe for it by this
time; and called a meeting of Free Sellers
for that purpose, but dared not trust them
seLreS IN ii lchen IL assembled. 1t was de-
cidedly against them; so they drew of
their followers into by-place, and rati-
fed Pierce and King while the regular
Convention went against them. The Free
Soil paper is bought up, bat the Free Soil
roters are not included in the trade. They
do their own thinking, and they don't think
Pierce their man for President. The Post
says Walworth County will give Pierce
majority. In AZ it gave Cass $50, Taylor
804, and Van Buren, 1893, or Van Buren,
more than both the others. We shall be
greatly disappointed if, in spite of The
Star, it does not now give Gen. Scott its
largest vote.
The Post adds'a few more to its list of
notables who are out against Scott-most
of whom we never before heard of, while
others we family remember as candidates,
whose nomination has at one time or an
other defeated the Wings of their respect
i've districts; and finally concentrates all
its energies on one tremendous crow-as
follows:
" In the States west of Ohio, Kentucky aud Tenues-
see, the nomination has fallen sillborn; and such
thing as ratification meeting Is almost unheard of.
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri Arkansas, Wisconsin, and
Iowa are Just as certain New Hampshire and Virginia
So much for the WesI!"
Now we have noted not less than
twenty large Ratification Meetings in these
States, and presume the actual number has
exceeded fifty. In every one of them,
Gen. Scott is by far the strongest candi-
