subscribers 10 the matter were visited by
committee of leading Republicans,
who tried every possible means 10 dis.
shade them from carrying out the projsot.
rhreats Of boyooiting and ruination in
business were made. Money was offered
and fiuslly list Of the Subscribers was
bought. II is understood that all efforts
were unavailable, and preparations are
now being made TO suspspd the flag

signs now indicate that Hill will re-
oeive one of the largest votes from the
opposition that any candidate has ever
received in this state. There is grow.
ing confidence in his party that he will
be elected, which feeling seems to be- moi
uuwsrranted by the present situation Of
