The Makanda correspondent of the
Carbondale Observer says:
Col. Ben. L. Wiley notifies VIM. Hart
zell that he has Withdrawn his contest
suit. At the close of the campaign, when
everybody was red hot, the colonel's
friends in different parts of the district,
wrote him that they could prove fraud,
but when the affidavits We're called for it
| was found that the proofs were not 90
strong as they were at first believed to
be. The present house of representa-
tives being largely Democratic it
| would take very strong case
| TO win. The next house
will be Democratic any way.
Besides, it will cost considerable amount
| Of money and cause much trouble, vexa.
ton and hard feeling. Hence the colo
mel has decided to abandon the matter.
| Colonel Wiley returns his sincere thanks
to all who assisted in polling such large
| vote for him. and hopes that the Repub.
lican party will succeed next time in
bringing out man that will run better.
We think that that will be hard to do.
The vote OF 1874 stands 1856 against US
of 1876 only twenty against US. Many
well posted Republicans were agreeably
