partnership With the late Judge Knox
of Clarion. This continued until 1881
when Knox was elected President
Judge Of the 18th judicial District,
since that time Mr.. Msffett has con.
tinued the practice Of law at Clarion
with w. Fl. Ross, as Mafett & Ross
In 1880, he was the Republican
Presidential elector from this Con.
gressioDal district. In 1884 he bad
the instructions Of Clarion county for
Congress, receiving very large ma.
jority therefor, against a formidable
opponent at the primary election. At
the Republican Congressional Confer.
ence, held at Brookville in July of
that year, he was a strong candidate,
but was unable to he present in per.
son to counsel with his conferees, on
account Of the serious illness of his
mother. He failed to receive the
nomination at that time, not from any
cause Of his own, but owing to combi-
nations which his friends were not
able to overcome.
He is member of the Presbyterian
Church, and is a clean handed man in
every respect. He is popular at home,
and no man in the district could be
named for this position who would be
stronger with the people, and we pre-.
dict for him an old time Republican
majority in the district.
