The nominees for Representatives to the Leg

OF course, were compelled to swallow the pill.
If the men who urged his nomination suppose
that any man in the Union party is weak
enough to vote the ticket because of this
nomination they are badly fooled individuals.
While we recognize in Mr.. Dodge gentleman
of good standing in the community, he is not
the person the people of this county desire to
send to the Legislature. Employed at this
point as Agent of the o. s. N. Company, he
is no further identified with US. He is here
as transient person, and has no interest
among u.s. Subject to be ordered to diff.
ferent station at amy time, he is not capable
of representing the wants of the people of the
county, from the fact that be is unknown to
them. To represent the wants of any people
in legislative body, man must be known to
his constituents and be familiar with their iu-

value of thousands, pay taxes, and are in
other ways identified with our interests, go

who will work in the next Legislature-men
who will work, not for the interest of any
corporation or company, but for the whole
county. These men the Union party present

How TO KEEP CHoLERA 0rF.--Many people
are anxious to know how to comport them
selves in conduct and matters of diet, so as
TO be free Of the danger of an attack from
cholera. Medical authorities generally agree
in the following propositions: Keep the per-
son aud premises clean; have rooms well
ventilated; avoid excessive use of intoxicat-
lug drinks; be careful Of the diet, aud eat
nothing but healthy and plain food; eschew
shell,ash when the cholera is about; expel
all fear from the mind; be quiet and at end
to business as usual; be regular in all habits
and generally abstemious.
