OCCASION respectfully to submit for your
consideration a few suggestions which
seem opportune as bearing immediately

the practical wants of the people.
The importance Of securing the best
representation IN congress which the Inn
lied privileges of a territorial condition
afford is absolutely momentous In the IN
cipicnt but highly progressive state IN
which every industrial enterprise and
every local interest stands to day. An
earnest and vigilant delegate, with broad
who will work diligently aud can work
effectively to promote the welfare of our
people, can accomplish much. A Demo

With regard to the local interests of
the Counties it may be said that by far the
must important offices are those Of coun-
