fess to believe, that he will win.

actly three days.
Mr.. Fuller Reid, of Green's

to pamper to the prohibition or
temperance vote, which under
the leadership of Mr.. Tuttle, who
is still stirring things up, is quite
strong. From ali | can learn Mr.

for drunkenness but the idea OF
him standing for prohibition,
makes even such old and pre-.
prosterous schemers as jim
Young and Iogan-.tpotato slip
Harris smile broadly.

in the ring and will get just {
few votes from the better class
of Republicans here.

tired Of tramping it. Perhap
the name had something to d
with the rash attempt.
