Editor s:uar. F. Reed. OF the Cla,Es.
burg telegram, and president of the ed
itorial association, was among those
present at the meeting. The best testi
monial OF his popularity among MS pro.
isssional brethren Is found in the FAC.
tina. he WIS reelected to the presidency.
His executive ability, his enthuaiasm
in behalf CT the best interests OF the as
socia.ion, his geuiaiuanners, are among
the secrets OF his popularity with the
Newspaper men. and this being so, !. is
easy to understand Why he is
personally 60 popular in e political Eay,
aud why it is that the Republicans in
hia dis.ric. seem 10 have made up thei.
minds tina. he must represent them il
the state sonata. II they nominate
him ne viii Represent them without a
doubt, for the dis.ric. is in the habi, oi
going Republican byaouethirg Ike two
Thousand majority. BIZ. Reed will make
an able representative. because he is a
man OF ability. As q Republican editor
he IS courageou. and aggressive, and
the influence Of his paper extends far
beyond the boundaries Of the county il
which il il published.
Another OF the newspaper men p.es-
en-. It the association. who il slated 10,
the legislature, was James F. Thomp.
son, OF the Ma.sin.butg Void. Mr..
Thompson, tits said, Is 20 be the Dem

district which vas formed by the Dem.
ocratic ger-ymauder, and was designed

publican representative. Morgan is q
banner Republican county, and had
always been sending 4 Republican 10
the legislature. When the Democrats
arranged the gcrrymander they de.
p,iyed Morgan OF this delightfully."- pa.
iriotic privilege and tackled the county
on to q Democratic legislative district.
This was only one Of several similar
ieats accomplished by tina. legislature,
and the people will have 10 stand it IN.
Ill they arise in their wrath and give us
