The Republican delegates return
ing from Easton are inclined to the
opinion that Kirkpatrick will again
be their nominee for Congress in
this district. Having come within
two hundred votes at the last cleo
tion, it is loudly boasted by our op-
ponents that he can be elected.
Whatever may be their hopes, they
are based it seems to us on poor
foundation. The same apathy will
not characterize the Democrats this
