Now that the friends of Captain Danford
have gotten him into the Congressional
fight Poorman and MS friends will have TO
do some hustling. 1t was thought for
while that Danford would be q candidate
for Circuit Judge, but Judge Campbell, Of
Cambridge, came into Belmont county TO
make d fight and MIR. Dauford, who pre-
fers the people, if they want him, to push
his candidacy, was withdrawn. Col. Poor
man could not come to this place as Camp
bell did not have any effect, for he has very
few if any political friends here. Perhaps
if Major Petty, of GAINESVILLE, would
slip .iu and give day or
two to cauvassing IL might so
intimidate our local politicians that Dan
ford would be withdrawn again. Yet, it
is not improbable that Major Petty will
Withdraw, il Danford and his friends go
In To defeat Poormau. So the fight will go
on, and the Congressional nominee will
not be from Belmont county.
