some of the late General Mahone's friends
admit a lingering love for their late
chief. which resolves itself into senu-
,nent favorable TO the accomplishment OF
this selection. In other quarters, now
ever. the idea is greeted Only with
smiles, and is dismissed with the argu-

ridiculous ground that the election law

surprise has been expressed that Wilson
q Shellabarger. a highly reputable law
firm of this city. have allowed them
selves TO be used for the purpose of pre-
senting SO absurd and groundless point
as the one referred TO.
Apropos TO this. IL may be stated that

would not consent 10 offer for the
serious consideration OF the committee

afford to make himself an object OF
ridicule in the eyes of eminent lawyers
such as would be found on the committee.
