rer of Scranton, an early Republican, and man OF
ability and character has been selected by the Union
lists to overcome the SIS majority of Dennison, re-
suit by no means impossible. In 1862, Dennson de-
Ceated Grow in this District by 176l maority but in
1864 Judge Winthrop ". Ketcham-a popular re-
publican, named once or twice for United states
Senator and Governor - made thorough
canvass, and lessened Dennison's majority
to 5I5 votes. Gen. Hartrantt, the Union can
ddate for State Auditor, carried the District in 1865
bv $50 majority SO there is hope for Radical VIC
tory in October.
The XIVth District includes Dauphin. Juniata,
Northumberland, Snyder and Union Counties. The
uctuating politics of Harrisburg the capital OF the
State. and the center of Dauphin County, make or
unmake this District which lost four years ago by
the Republcans-ther candidate, Patterson, running
far below the Union State ticket majority DOL but
regained by the present representative Geo. f. Miller
who carried it by 527 majority, the State ticket re-
ceiyng 2l9 majority. In 1865, Gen. Hartranit car
RED the District by the extraordinary majority OF
2O35 Mr. Miller is good worker in Congress- and
our figures conclusively show the strength oil his
chances in second election on the safe basis OF 527
present majority.
The XVIth District, which takes in Adams, Bed
ford Franklin, Fulton and Somerset Counties, gave
Gen. Koontz, the Union candidate only 60 majority
in 1864, and, more than any other District in the
State, may be regarded doubtful. Chambersburg
and Gettysburg are in this District, but the
stern experience Of war has not sufficed
to convert its inveterate and too numerous

Edward Mcpherson, representative OF portion OF
this District under former apportonment, against
A. H. Coffroth, the Democratic candidate in 1862
and was defeated by 537 votes. Bat Gov. Curtin IN
1863 had 739 majority in the District; and in 1864
Gen. Kooutz obtained his seat in Congress
over Coffroth by 6 votes The Democrats
have taken up J. Mcdowell Sharpe their strongest
man, to contest the ground with Gen. Koontz this
year. but as the District gave Gen. Hartranft major
y of $50 in 1865 he is not likely to be successful on
the unpopularity Of the Presidents platform.
In the XXIst District represented by John L.
Dawson, Democrat, the Hon. John Covode is running
against Hugh II. Weir. 1t is composed of Fayette,
Indiana and Westmoreland counties, and contains the
home of Senator Cowan, in the latter County. GOV.
Curtin had majority in the District in 1853 of2l9 in
1864 Fuercontested the election with Dawson and in
1856, Gen. Hartranft won majority OF 524 for the
Union party 1t u.s. therefore, field that may be
won OF the Union candidate it is needless to speak
His services in Congress well known, and he lost
a gallant son in the war. He is personally popular
On the whole, we can count but one District where
the Republican Union ticket is likely to lose and two
or three wherein there is good promise of gain.

very decidedly impressed by the suocatiOn of family

The staircases were destroyed, and the wire ladders

The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1866-03-20

A Raleigh letter-writer thus photographs
Gov. Holden: "a man apparently of fifty
years; above the medium stature; rather
heavy set; dark complexion; black hair
Slightly bald in 'front.' sprinkled with gray :;
blue eyes, heavy eyebrows; prominent and
strongly marked features, expressive of de-
termination even to stubbornness."
We enter our protest against the
above. We are not fifty years of age.
We are not cery stubborn. Besides,
the writer has omitted to state that we
are handsome.
Speaking of ages, some of the fair
sex met not long since, to form a socie-
ty. The eldest was to be Presidentess,
and the youngest was to be Secretary.
No one could be found who would be
President, and all the ladies wanted to
be Secretary.

The town of Wilmington, in this
State, has recently passed by popular
election from the hands of loyal Union
men into the hands of original secession
lists and latter-day war men. The same
is true as to the County Court of New
Hanover, under the appointment of
Magistrates made by the Legislature.
1t IS considered disreputa6le IN WI
mi,egto,e to be an oaaspoAea auacondi-
tionaI Union man. General Robert
Ransom, lately Of the Confederate ser
vice, has been chosen Marshal of the
town, with salary of $4,000. Gen.
r. is, we presume, still unpardoned.
We observe by the way that there is
soon to be another tournament in
Wilmington. What is the meaning of
these tournaments Will some friend
oblige us with an accurate account of
the proposed tournament at Whining
ton? We want to know all about it.
The communication will be considered
strictly confidential.
