for Representative. We do not wish to
be unfair, or to Judge harshly, but
after all that has TRANSFERRED, so very
mild, fiattering and exculpatory de-
clination looks exceedingly like the
result of a very natural desire on the

the record ready for his own conven.

only maiden coyness, saying no and

strong one. Mr.. Whan, the candidate
for Sheriff. Ia a reputable business
man and rock-rooted Democrat, but
has no especial qualifications for the
position in question. And what is
more important, everybody knows
that he does not want the office, and
that his election would only put 1t in
to the hands of some one fwho could
not come before the public on his own

him against an equally able and trust
worthy competitor.
Mr.. Edwards nomination seems to

Irish for Governor-and that ought To
be good enough for any one.
Mr.. Geiger has heretofore always
had the reputation of being sincere, no
matter how impracticable. We hope
hope he need not lose this but as
he has for some twenty-seyen years
been candidate for office without
success, we fear his chances ut present
are not first-class,
