Nicholson and Day had large meeting

One of the most pleasant incidents of the
campaign has been the fact that the ladies
nave taken great deal of interest in our
meetings. The speakers have had bouquets
snoWered upon them wherever they go.
There is every prospect of large Demo
cratlc majority in the county, although it is
very probable that the Republicans have
large corruption fund upon which they de-
pend.
Some Of the Republicans are getting sick
OF DICK Harrington. One Republican to
day acknowledged before other Republicans
thau ne believed that Dick Harrington would
control Currey If elected. He said, further
more, that Harrington was 30 credit to the
party also, that he or his fellows had
sheated Ltchtenstein out OF the nomination
