"The election Of Judge Nicholson as q
Senator, is hailed with great rejoicing by
his many friends in this city while many
others, members of the democratic party,
denounce the act as premature and un-
seemiy, especially in view of the fact that
he himself once opposed the election of a
Senator two years in advance of the 90
