inc. The declaration Of Captain Lassiter

recent meeting of the Democratic state
Committee. that the Fourth district may
be regarded az one OF tho safest Dcmocratc

the district, who were uatLlihg lof pIihVl-
nIes and for self-ccntrol. Time and again
was the alvico given that II was use
loss TO fight against Guch tremendous
odds aud that II was wiser 10 leave the
field 10 the Republicans, but a. often was
the advice UNDECIDED and tho assertion
made that success belonged 20 the brave,
and that victory would never come to our
banners unless we won Il by tghting for
II. When the convention which met
md nominated tho late Dr. George
L. Eives for Congress there was
crave doubt about the wisdom OF
making a fight. Il was Or. Rlyes VINO
