that the affair was being rushed through
in the interest Of Don Cameron, and
contrary 20 all precedent, as the olec-
tion does not take place until next
week. Hon. N. p. Wheeler, Assem-.
blyman from this county, was one Of
the parties who staid out Of the eau
Gus, not being prepared to vote with
full knowledge Of the views Of his con-
stituency in the matter. He has writ
ten letters to some Of our Republicans
for their views on the question, and VIC
presume when the time comes to east
his vote be will be able to DO it with
pretty fair knowledge Of what the Re-
publicans Of his county desire. In
the meantime, we are satisfied that Mr..
Wheeler would be glad to hear from
any and all Republicans who desire to
express their views on the subject. 1t
is enc, raging to the people who elect
ed him to know that he is there to
serve them, end not to further any
selfish interests of his own. He will
be found voting aud working with the
oil delegation, gnd will do whatever is
possible for the good OF Forestand the
Commonwealth.

summer.
