GAZETTE; The base calumnies and mis-
representations that have been hurled
against Col. William Swain, candidate
for governor, by friends Of his opponent,
Gen. Sui Ross, conspicuous amongst
whom is the veteran ex-Comptroler
Brown, who charges Swain with nepotism
In office. Is doing more good for Swain In |
this locality than any movement that
could possibly be c0ntriyed by friends to
further his gubernatorial interests.
The plane upon which Col. Swain Is
conducting his canvass Is an elevated and |
gentlemanly one, exactly in accord with |
his own exalted type Of character and
manhood, and the man In this section
who thinks or assumes that SWANS name
VIII appear on any other than winning
Ticket would do well to take in his
sign, at least until the sentiment in this
section has time to undergo radical
change.
