prize is surely his. Not another
prominent Republican in the state

No one can conscientiously dispute
the fact that he has made the most
saRacious Republican campaign
leader the state ever had. And for
his repeatedly distinguished services
for that party he is entitled to high
consideration and reward. Mt a
single Republican in the state. OF
great or small political account, will

Mckinley is too good for him, and
he will, doubtless, experience no
difficulty in securing the office above
mentioned.
