This was an eye opener to Mr.. Taylor,

statement, that labor need expect moth

IS simply matter of politics, pure and

he sees fit. I have no hesitation in saying
that there is no filter man living, in my
opinion, than Chancellor McGill, or one

LETTERS FROM REPUBLICANS.
| Chancellor McGill, who gives the clos
est attention to the business of his high
| Office although naturally interested in the
warm political battle being waged for his
election, IS daily in receipt of the most
| encourag ging letters from personal friends
all over the State, many of whom are
Republicans. In quite a number of the
| Iatter's communications the statement is
that they will not only vote for, the Cham
ceilor but use their best endeavors to
have other Republican acquaintance do
likewise 1t is the general belief here that
the Republican vote received by the Chan
cellor will be one. of the surprising fea-
lures of the coming gubernatorial cleo
ton. There is probably not another prom
fnent Democrat in the State. who has such
a large circle of staunch Republican
friends. His personality is such that they
will not consider. politics in their desire
to show their high appreciation of the
Democratic candidate for Governor.
