An amusing feature in connection with
the nomination OF Daniel L. Hart for rem
resentatlve is b ing told, says the Hazleton
Plain.Speaker. 1t is said that Editor BOYD,
Of the News.Dealer, put Mr.. Hart's card
In his paper without the latter's know
ledge. When Dan saw the card and Boyd's
Gignly commendatory notice in the P. G,
column Of the News. Dealer he made haste
to urge Boyd to withdraw the card and to
stop trying to guy" him. BOYD laughed
at the request and told Hart to let the
card stand for few days and to begin the
work of selecting his delegates in the
various wards. Later on, Boyd told him
he could come out with card saying that
being obliged, by reason of business, to 10
to California, he found it impossible to be
q candidate and, therefore, would with
draw. AT the same time good word
should be put In for Editor Boyd's candi-
dacy. Unfortunately, however, for Mr.
Boyds well laid plans, Mr. Hart discoy-
cred. after short canvass, that his candi-
dacy was being very favorably received
by the local Democracy. So when Mr..
Boyd hinted that 1t was time for Mr.. Hart
to withdraw, the latter said may, nav p
The outcome Of Editor Boyd's little Joke
and scheme is Mr.. Hart's nomination.
