officers and Seven Congressman. Four can
didates are in the field for Governor-HAN-
COCK JACKSON, Breckenridge, Democrat;
CLAIBORNE F. JACKSON, Douglasite; SAMPLE

ic Convention held previous to the Charles
ton Convention, nominated c. T. JACKSON
for Governor. He has been stumping the
State for several months. Having recently
