GRANGER. and It is expected that he will secure
tho vote OF the dissatihed farmers. Mr..
Wright is q banker and q noted lawyer of
Allentown. He has twice been a candidate for
Governor. and In 1883 he refused the nomlna-
ton for Senator. He received the nomination
for Auditor. General at this time because he 10
