The Democrats have put forward John Charles
Haiucs Justice of the Peace, rs their candi-
date for Judge Of the Probate Court, The
grounds upon which he YVES nominated are that
he has always beenopposcl to monopolles, bccn
the Worling,uen's friend etc. The la-ts prove
the reverse. In the first place. John Charles
Hanes is schcmins politician, who has been III
public ofi.e since he was II years OF are. At
that time his father, n,w attorney for the de-
funct Fidelity Savings Bank. was member OF
the Legislature, and the present Justice OF the
Peace was a page in that body. As lawyer ne
never had auY experience.

colleagues in the Town Board place upon him.
