The position taken by number of promi.
nent men In the county In reference to the
action of the Convention which nominated

Craig for the lower House of Representa-.
lives, has caused the people generally to take
more interest In the election which takes
place to-day than usual.
From all the information that | can gather
I think Very large vote will be cast for Hon.
A. II. Fl. Stuart, and many seem very san.
guinc of his election. II should be remem.
bered, however, that this Is done through no
instrumen,alily OF this high-toned and hon.
orable gentleman, but in the face Of bis
earnest protest to the contrary, which was
recently published in all the papers Of this
city. The people Of the county seem deter
mined TO elect him whether he will serve
them or not.
The true friends of Mir. Stuart are san.
guine that even if elected he will refuse to
serve. -"
