only highly complimentary to himself from tn
manner in which it was male. but IL exhibited

formal one having been taken. the different
county delegations voted for their respective
candidates Judge Embree who had received
a respectable vote, withdrew his name after

made the welkin ring. Never was a cand:-
date for Congress nominated in thus District
with more unanimity and more hearty cnthu

trast was this to the nomination Of JUDI 20
Lockhart by the Old L nerS-made by Il Q

candidate himself had travelled over the whole
District electioneering for the nomination in
the most shameless manner. and as mono bui
an office grasping demagogue would consent to

The candidates are now in the field, and We
ask men Of all parties to judge between them
Judge Lockhart represents the Old Line Dem

Supporting these things, he has not even tht
