There are eight entire counties, and, living |

We have a number OF good and efficient
men thoroughly qualified to fill the office.

McGuire, has been mentioned a. a cardi- /
date for the position. There ie no man in

place than T. T. Mcclure. He is a man
thoroughly identified with all OF our in

We vouchsafe the solid support OF this
