Hon. VIM. III. Neece, of Macomb, Nc
Donough county, has been brought for
ward as the probable democratic candidate
for congress against Marsh in the Eleventh
district. Among all the able and popular
men of that district we do not know of a
stronger or worthier one. He is a self
made and well made man; he is man
in perfect sympathy with the people. Al
though staunch democrat, he is high in
the estimation of republicans, for his spot
less integrity and neral worth. That he
was elected state senator four years ago in
his district, which is largely republican is
evidence enough that he is a power with
the people. We would be glad to see w.
FL, Niece in the field against the trickster
Marsh. Leaoaston Democrat, 18Th inst.
This is a strong endorsement, and from
all the ARGUS can learn it Is not overdrawn
in the least. That the democratic candi-
date for congress stands well with the peo-
pie of his own county is proof positive
that he is worthy man.
