the many other able and experienced At

that Mr.. French is the peer Of any one Of

we'll known in this District that although
for term Of years, working almost con-
stantly with the republican party, Mr..
Richards 10 non.partisan. We take
him to be one of that class of men whose
devotion to business interests is so strong
as to make him believe that successful
and just government always follows
the logical sequence of prudent financier-
ing; and to seek the solution If al
vexed questions in the success of physi-
cal enterprises. In other words that
material prosperity carries along with it,
all concomitant interests, and secures
good government in every locality which
succeeds in business. Recognizing the
philosophy of the proposition, the bust
ness interests Of this district demanded
the nomination Of VIM. Richards. He
was selected from no political stand
point and for no party purpose, but with
sole reference to his special fitness for
the office, and we think the people will
recognize. tho propriety Of tho nomina-
ton and appreciate the necessity of rali-
fying It at the polls. S.
