" one. Already any number o. candidates have
made then appearance. MT. Mcdonald, OF
course, heads the list NOOrbees r. named by
some; but II is not probable he can command
much strength, and lie WOIld be bitterly re-
sisted. The man agreed upon by the NOOr-
heesians Il the Hon. William ;. Holman. whose
