From one of the signers the DISPATCH
learned last night that as there was some
political unrest IN certain portions of the
county il was thought best to call the citi-
zens together and let them talk the matter
over among themselves and decide
whether to endorse Mr.. Carter or make
another nomination.

PATCH informant. who is prominent men,
Dor OF that organization, has not felt
that circumstances We're such as would
justify the body in putting up an Alliance
candidate. There are conflicting views
with reference to this matter. and We
think it will be wisest TO let the voters as-
semble aud reach their own conclusions in
the premises"
