Who shall it be? is q question that has
been prominent in the minds OF all men

any thought. IL is perfectly natural tor

His record has been a good one and salts

stalwart Republican and has let no OPP
portuuity escape to deal the Democracy
blow, or to labor in the interest OF all
the people But it would be strange in
deed if the Republican party with all its
excellent material should confine
its candidacy to one man., and
it is not so confined. j. Edward Ad-

: Addicks is gentleman in all those
qualities which are calculated to attract
the admiration and support OF good
men. He has taken active interest IN
the politics of the State and has given
the party hearty and nntlinching sup
