terms Is not too much for an active, ener-
getic, industrious congressman, such as
Mr.. Hicks has been. His predecessors,
for some years past, were awarded sim
liar honor, and there is no earthly reason
why he should have been treated differ
emily. Neither Somerset nor Cambria
should have thought of contesting for the
nomination. AS for the Bedford man, If
he wisely turns in and gives the nomi-
nee loyal and earnest support he will
certainly improve his chances two years
hence. As for Mr.. Kooser, he will prob
ably come TO the conclusion to remain in
the Republican party and TO support its
regularly nominated candidates.
Editor w. b. Hicks, of the Altoona
Sunday News, son of Congressman j. d.
Hicks, was in town for several hours
Monday morning. His visit to Somerset
was for the purpose OF serving notice on
Francis J. KOoser, Esq, that his claim to
be the regularly nominated Republican
candidate for Congress in this district
would be contested in the conrrs of Dau-
phin county on Thursday. Mr.. KOOser
was not at home and Mr. Hicks was un-
able to learn his whereabouts until he
received a dispatch from his father noti-
flying him that the object of his search
was in Altoona. y notice of the time
fixed for the hearing was left at Mr..
Kooser's residence.

RRADsrREET's FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. April io,-Bradstreet's FIN
a1cial review tomorrow Will say: During
the early part Of the week the New York
stock market. which was dull and pro-
fcssional in character Of the trading. dis
played n decided tone Of strength Fer
the last few days. however its inactivity
was marked 10y an unsettled ana declining
ospos ltion. though on Friday covering OF
shares gave a iirfner tone. The first dem
on<tiation would seem to he a-continuance
81 tho effort r. fcrre1 20 last week on the
paIt OF the speculative interests to dis
count a possible Improvement in the gen-
eral tra3e situation colnciding with the
beginning of the spring season. This was
ct the time regarded as somewhat prema-
ture and the absence of public support or
foreign participation would have neces-
sayliy arrested the further progress of
the market before very long. 1t would
seem. however. that the hearish tendon-
clos which again arrested the movement,
derived any positive character they may
have displayed from the situation at
Washington in regard TO the Cuban q,ies-
ton.
