We are glad to learn that S. j. Craw-
ford is making the canvass for Congress
in. the district on the greenback ticket

The Independents are confident Of
carrying Montgomery county by a
handsome majority. In one school
district in that county, where there are
only thirty >three votes, thirty-one are
