especially in Henderson, are starting
the report that Mr.. LailOon will, at
the right time, withdraw from the
race for Congress. This is false and
contemplate and is done to weaken
the confidence that Mr.. Lafloon's
friends have in his integrity and
manhood. Mr.. LailOon (and we
speak authoritatively) will, under
no circumstances, withdraw, and all
rumors to this effect are absolutely
untrue and very unworthy of those
who are trying to circulate them
jacksonville Cleaner.
There is much speculation as to a
dark horse. We deprecate any dark
horse arrangement. Either Clay or
Latloon ought to have the nomina-
ton, even if it takes the draw Of
straws or the toss of a copper to de-
eide between them.-llawcsvtllc
Democrat.
1t hasjbecn circulated that Lailoon
will consent to withdraw in favor Of
Clay, if in return he (Latloon) will be
supported by the district for the next
term. No doubt Mr.. Clay's friends
are the originators of this unground-
ed rumor. What reason under the
sun would Lafloon have in giving it
up to Clay? just please pass one
around somebody and let US exam
inc it. Is not James j. Clay the
debtor? Was it not Polk LailOon
who did great part in putting
Clay in Congress in his race with
Petit? Would it not lie the fair
thing for Clay to decide the little
discrimination Would it not be
fair for Henderson to give up, when
she has had her term and give it to
the new man who has honorably
tied the race? Does Jim. Clay wish
the earth, or would he be contcnted
with small planet? Certainly they
have cheek, brass-everything but
fairness and gratitude. Shame Oh
Henderson shame on Clay and his
ungratofulness. Three cheers for
honest, noble Polk Lail0on.-Union
