those who criticize his administration in
some particulars, there are none that

characteristics Can any person doubt
that he will successfully fill the Office to
which he has been elcctedy Since his
election he has been devoting muck time
and attention to posting himself in the
duties of his office and on the laws at

As to Hon. Coc |. Crawford it is I'M
necessary to speak here, as he is one of
us and prime favoritc of all from chill
dren up, and his large vote in the state
indicates that he is likewise popular in
all the counties.

places and Mr.. Nipple is to be congrat-
