EDITORS Posi- lNTELLIGENCER
Dear Sirs-James q. Blaine is the
pride of the people of this county, and

Chic lgO Convention, to be held June ,,
lisa, and Robert /. Lincoln the second.
Many Repub leans III this county. how
ever, are inclined 10 think tn Il Blaine

nominated. could not be elected. Were
We sure of this, Lincoln would he the
first chOIce Of Wh9tcom county Repub-
hcans. We will start In for James q.
Blaine, and risk the consequences. If
he should be defeated, We Will fall back
upon Robert /. Lincoln for the black
horse. We take no chances on his cleo
ton. am yours very truly.
