il proper to deliver the following adj

ton of this duty lies in the fact that
judge Cassidy. the nominee of Lin
coin county never sought the position,
but it was rendered Ivy the white
voters at the last Democratic primary,
without his solicitation or request. 1t
was rendered him because of the pcO-
piles desire to send their very best
citizens to the Legislature, and as
a simple testimonial of the people to

principles, because the voice had been
heard that Franklin, the county of

never heard him solicit favor or sup

had there been the slightest suspicion
of the unfortunate differences which
arose between the delegates to the

voter.
The personal fitness of Judge Cas-
