James P. Pigott, who is making vigor-
GUS fight for the congressional nomination

COLONEL CHENEY's POPULARITY.
Tolland County Leader: The veterans of
the old Sixteenth regiment are particularly
pleased to see one of their old comrades So
lected as candidate on the state ticket.
Colonel Cheney has been more than a
comrade to the boys. Apparently each
lily. The boys, too, appreciate his kind
| ness and friendly attachment. Few can
| ever reciprocate. To certain extent they
| now have an opportunity. A good vote is
| an honor to a man. No man should be
biased by friendship, but the boys who
| were linked together by such ties as the
association of soldiership will be pretty
likely to do their duty now. Mr.. Cheney
is not politician. Of his record as a cit
izen nothing can be said on the shady side;
on the contrary. his good deeds are not
modesty, being kept from the general pub
lie. His ability of course is we'll known
among business men. We doubt if even
good democrats or prohibitionists will shed
| many tears at the election of Mr.. Cheney.

and its output something enormous.
