the legislative contest in this district. we
fail to find any reason put forth by either

partisan. Washburn and Campbell were
originally slated by the ''boscs, (" the onc
for senator and the other for representa-

had sfeared, but which the majority Lad
failed to properly appreciate. the conven.

and both gentlemen announced themselves
as candidates for the senatorship. Dy
this they not only deliberately determined
to impern the success of their party at thn
coming election. but, rather than sink
