was nominated by reclamation; not because
there were no other good men in the district.
or that there was much doubt of election
but because he has been a faithful and
honest representative of the PEG ple's rights
The nomination was due him for faithful
service. He is a man of high order of
ability with unquestioned integrity, and goes

buy a seat in Congress but he lays his record
at the feet of his constituents without q

representative; the other is that of a
gambler. One expects favor because
of his merits; the other expects favor wneD

the other asks votes dishonesty purchased.
One was nominated by his party because he
