ply to spite or bestow kick on some
other man? Not any; we have too
much faith in the integrity of the Re-
publicans to believe they would com
nit such a senseless blunder.
As with General Beaver so it is with
the balance of the State ticket. Ev-

implies, and are all eminently fitted for
the high positions to which they aspire;
they came as honestly by their nomi.
nations as any candidates ever did
who we're nominated by convention
of representative men. They are en-.
titled to the support of every true Re-
publican, and so far as Forest county
is concerned we are sure they will get
it.
GENERAL HARRY WHITE.
is our nominee for Congress. He needs
no introduction to the voters of Forest
county. A statesman in the true sense
of the word, a gentleman in every
way, and a man, as all know, of groat
ability, he has been slandered, berated
and lied about by opposition papers
until one might think him the worst
mortal on earth. Not so, however, but
on the contrary he is man who has
been in public life for nearly twenty
years, and during that time not flaw
can be picked in his record. He has
ever stood up manfully and defended
the interests Of the laboring man, and
has always fought those issues which
might tend in the least toward the op.
preston of the poor man. To prove
this one needs only to look at his rec.
ord while in the State Senate. The
editors of opposition sheets continue
to howl themselves hoarse ove= the
River and Harbor bill (for the pass
age of which their parties are as much
and more to blame as the Republican,
when discretion and decency would
seem to suggest silence. Mosgrove,
the creature of coalition, failed to put
himself on record on this matter, and
by his absence assisted to pass it over
the Presidents vets, and yet there are
some who seem to think General
White responsible for Moogrove's fail.

solitary grain of fitness or capability

you allow few self-appointed bosses
to dictate to you in this manner? We
hope not.

and we have reason to believe the
choice will be entirely satisfactory to
the voters of this as we'll as the other
counties of the district.)
Hon. E. L. DAVIS
was unanimously renominated for the
office of Assembly by the Republicans
of Forest county last spring. Why A.?
Simply because he acquitted himself
nobly while in the Legislature, and
made record which is a credit to
himself and to the county which he
SO ably represented; because if re-
elected he will do still better, and car.
ry still more influence with him. A
new member is at a disadvantage, gen.
erelly, and when sent back the second
time his chances to serve his constitu-
ents and look after their interests are
far better hence it is a benefit to any
county to give a member second
term if be has done we'll the first.
This no one will deny. Mr.. Davis
