him into the House Of Representatives
considerable experience in public af-

reflect great credit upon the enlightened
constituency he represents.
II is to be regretted that the place OF

Congress rs the Hon. William Walsh
will be filed by a Radical. Mr.. Walsh
carried his district twice against heavy
odds and was always found in the right

House of Representatives.
No man better understands the inter-

Representative is about TO close. He
was always at his post, able and ready
to do his duty. and his present tempo
rary absence from The councils of the
nation will be q serious loss 10 the State.

uYou would be surprised to know
how much was collected for John Lo-

Dn. HESKLsss SpEEcH.-Dr. Henkle
did well 10 favor the repeal OF the law
10 appoint Federal marshals and super
