Only once in the lasI fourteen years has
the party been able to elect It's nominee,
the msloritieS against US running up In
the hundreds, not even adording The sol.
ace oil close vote. Candidates for thjs
position from Hancock, Brooke and Ohio
counties have met the same common fate,
showing that there was no local faction
defeating tho Republican nominees, or
influences brought to bear against them
other than those oil the Democratic party
In making inquiry among Republicans
In this county | find that Hon. N. B,
Scott Is regarded as the strongest and
most available man. He Is the only Re.
publican who has ever carried the district
since 1872 for thia position, and there
Seems,to be a general belief that he Ia the
only one who can carry II this year, II
is not good policy TO drop a certainty ior
an unknown quantity, especially In a
Democratic district, and for that reason
Republicans In this county are In favor Of
nominating Senator Scott as agalns. any
