last evening by the publication of certsin
matters relating to the revolt of the

publican, upon the ticket as Congress
sional candidate
That these Mr. Samuel Bancroft, Jr.,

believed that they would experience
no difficulty in shelving ex Speaker
of the House J. Harvey Whiteman, ex-
/ General Assemblyman William Cooch,
ex Superintendent of Free Schools Levin
| Irving Handy and ex Clerk Of the Peace
Edwin K. Cochran. They find that they
lnistcok their strength ana that they
have fight on their hands which bids
fair to eliminate In the defeat Of their
plans. They have been setting up dele
| cations and controlling the nominations
so long that they cannot understand
that they are open to either criticism or
antsgonism, or both
Their sole excuse for endeevoring to
no mate Mr.. Samuel Bancroft, Jr, Is
that he has money, and they think he
will put 1t up. aud that he will draw
| good many Republican Votes. They
seem to have lost sight of the Demo
cratic party In the matter, and Of the
necessity for nominating man who will
bring on the full strength Of the Demo
cratic party.
