bitter In its tono that 1t is not probable
his withdrawal will have the eject oil
harmonizing tho clements. lie has
hosts OF friends in the district who
sympathiEo with him In his martyr
dom. and tho nomination OF member
OF tho opposing faction in his stead Will
be the signal for 4 renewal OF the war.
On the other hand. the nomination Of q
friend OF Capehart will not plaeaie
his enemies. A conservative man
will be hard to find, for there is not .
prominent Democrat in the district who
il not identified with one faction or the
other. II Hon. D. II. Leonard, Mr..
Capshart's late competitor for the
nomination, is named tho Camden vii.
son fight, OF which ! have had so much
70 say above, will be an essential factor
in tho campaign, for It Is In the Fourth
district that the feeling is most bitter,
aud it was in that district that the
tragedy OF Tuesday occurred. Mr.. Leon
ard Is staunch friend and supporter oil
Mr. Camden, and the Auti.CamdeniteS
are aching to get n chance at him Tor
past as well as present otTenses. A 70.
viyaI OF Judge McCluor's late
lamented boom may be one oil tho
outcones OF tho present situation, but
It is not considered likely that
the Judge will take kindly to PROPOSE
ton to take him up rs lnakcshitt after
having been forced of tho track once
by the bosses. Altogether the Democ.
racy Of the Fourth district is In sad
pickle. Ths nomination by tho lsepub'
licans Of Judge Warren Miller elm
phasizes tho situation, for tho judge is
immensely popular, was nominated by
a convention remarkable for its enthu.
siasm, aud has more Democratic friends
than any other Republican in tho dis
trict, Il cannot DO said that u party 10
in good fighting shape when ito candt-
date for Congress 10 forced 10 rc'iGu
from tho ticket week after his nomi'
nation, because Of disallection In the
ranks, aud this is why tho Fourth dis
trict Democracy is sad.
Tho Register snoers at Gordon Dayton,
tho Republican nominee in the Second
district against William L. Wilson, be-
cause no is a young man and never held
but one office. II tho Register but knew
il, those are sources OF strength, because
it was tho hustling, working, enthusias:.
tic young Republicanism OF the Second
district that demanded Dayton. 1t IL
no disgrace that no nnver held but ono
office before. MIR. Wilson, his Demo-
cratic competitor. mover held any office
previous to his election to Congress,
and was comparatively little known.
He was obliged 10 be introduced every
where in his first campaign. There
were thousands Of people in the district
who had mover heard OF him. Mr.. Day.
ton, the Re1aer will find, is we'll known
among tho people. lie has made moro
than one campaign for his party
throughout the district, and his bril-
liant and dashing style has kindled the
lrcs OF enthusiasm everywhere. The
Registers sneering comments will create
such amusement among the intelligent
people OF the Second district Us any
similar display oiignorance might create
anywhere. Mr.. Dayton is ono OF the
coming men Of the nation. lilo is a man
OF fine intellect, and has, though only
thirty.seven years OF age, built up 4
large law practice. and made for himself
q name and fame through tho state as q
man OF the highest attainments in hia
profession and in the business world.
lie is hundred times better known in
tho Second district than Mr.. Howard Is
in tho First, and in point OF ability is
far, very far, Mr.. Towards superior.
