a successful race. OF course. the friends
OF Mr.. Dively in this county believed
that he would have carried the Demo-
cratic banner 30 victory. There is no
doubt of Mr.. Dively's ability. and had
he secured the nomination there would
not nave been found a more energetic

recreation IN order that he might rem

State is safe in his hands. His nomina-
