sentiment nj sherman, may not be alto.
gether barren OF interest. In the begin.
Ming II must be confessed that as yet The
political pot has hardly commenced 10
simmer. The iires that stir IL are hardly
ignlted, though the combustible material
IN not wanting. To begin with the goy. |
II h conceded that Col, Swainis |
friends are IN the majority, and IL Is |
likely that this county will instruct for |
him. But little IL said touching the sen. |
atorial race, and II would be hard 10 say |
Just what public sentiment Is on this |
