Windsor County for Stickney.

Speaker Stickney has the cordial support
Of the Republicans Of Windsor county for
the nomination for governor at the hands
of the convention to be called to name can
didates for state officers, and any effort to
drag ex-Lieut. Governor Fletcher into the
field to weaken the former will signally fail.
The county has stood by the ex-presiding
officers Of the senate in the past with un-
questioned loyalty. 1t will now stand by
the present speaker with the same unwav-
-ering frmness. Und,. the circumstances
no friend Of Mr. Fletcher will advocate his
nomination at this time, and it is especially
noticeable that suggestions Of his candidacy
emanate from sources more than suspected
to be favoring the candidacy Of the ex-
speaker from Derby. This in itself is a
confession Of weakness Of candidacy on the
part Of the latter's friends and a pointer to
Mr.. Stickney's constantly increasing
strength. Windsor Journal.
