Our readers will see by his card in ane th
or column, that Gen. Bennett is no Ion
ger before the people as candidate for The
nomination.
While We regret the fact that the Gen,
eral did not receive the honor which we
thought he deserved, we acquiesce cheer
fully in tho decision of the people of this
Fourth District. We have no sore feeling
in the matter and shall support Mr.. Ju-
liam heartily as we did when he was our
6rst choice Tor The nomination.
Gen. Bennett has certaiBly cause TO be
gratifed with the vote Of his own county
That SO large proportion of community
Of integrity and intelligence equal to any
should choose him as the most fitting man
to represent them, is no small honor. The
second choice Of most of Gen. BENEFITS
supporters was Mr.. Julian, and as the
General is no longer in the field, we have
no doubt that Mr. Julian will receive the
unanimous support of the Republicans Of
Union County. Liberty Herald.
