Continued Tomorrow
FAMILY QUARREL-Tle Gasctts of this
morning is full Of communications urgin,
J the claims Of Col. Leake for Senator. Thi.
is bold attempt on the part Of Hing Hiram
and his wire pullers to farestall the actor
Of the coming county convention, and defea
the nomination Of Robert Lowry, ESQ.,, th
present efficient Senator from this district
Hiram always has friends to reward An,
c enemies to punish. and manipulates the Re
publican party Of this county to any exten
u that ne may desire. He is aspiring to b
United States Senator, and is fearful that h
cannot use Lowry to accomplish his ends
and hence his bitter opposition. Rumo
says that Price and Lowry had . ruptur,
about business matters connected with tn
t coal trade, in which they were jointly inter
ested, for several years, whereupon Hiram
declared his intention to punish Lowry, ant
has taken this opportunity to crafty hi
IN lice.
Il 1t is nice quarrel and Hiram will learn Il
/ work his wires very shrewdly # he make
It win. lie must cover his tracks better II
future, to be successful. Col. Leakc ant
Robert Lowry, ESQ.,, are both gentlemen o
high social standing, and well fitted for tn,
position. but it is not "our funeral gentle
tlemen," and al We can do is to inform th,
public Is the fight progresses.
