A Manly Candidate.

A Sussex Republican, in answer to a
petty and petticoated attack on Mr.. Hig-
gins, writes as follows in Saturday s
Milford News and Advertiser: ''W''
says that Mr.. Higgins had an opportu-
nifty to show his won1rous influence and
popularity in 's4. Malice prompted this
remark; but it serves only to indicate the
loyalty of Mr.. Higgins to the party, for
every one knows that there was no can
vass made in that year. and in accepting
the nomination for Congress Mr.. Higgins,
knowingly and willingly, sacrificed himself
for the party, hoping to keep the organi-
zation intact. This is rather an additional
reason for comforting the Senatorial
honor upon him. But it is singular that
this woman Of Kent should allude to the
campaign of 'S4, for her own county then
even declined to nominate ticket
One other suggestion and | am done
that is, never accept the leader your enc
mics desire you to have, but on the con
trary take the one whom they most dep.
recate and fear Mr.tMassey is alike the
candidate Of corporations and of Democ-
racy. ana neither will be pleased to see at
our front in future contests a man Of the
people, like Mr.. Higgins, rich in resources
