hoped that the others can be saved.

Let the Record Speak.

Rock Hill, Sept Editor
Lancaster Ledger:-In the Lam
caster Review of this date appears
an editorial advocating the elect.
ion of Mr. Barber to Congress
over Mr. Finley. That is the
Reviews privilege. but we trust
there are few Lancastrians who
will be so forgetful and SO un
grateful of the good will the
electors of York have for years
shown the friends "over the river"
The Review closes its eulogism of
Mr. Barber by saying:
'In addition to Mr. Barber's
eminent qualifications, there is an
obligation resting upon Lancaster
to support Chester's candidate.
1t was the handsome vote Chester
always gave Lancaster's candi-
date, Dr. Strait, which has en-.
ab'ed us to hold the congressional
plum for six years. Now let us
discharge that obligation by vot-
ing for Barber next Tuesday"
The above is 'the unkindcst cut
of all" Surely the Review is
not acquainted with the record,
or it would not close its eyes to
"the handsome vote" York has
given Lancaster's candidates for
years. Indeed, York has like
wise supported Chester's "can-
dldates" as we'll and most effect
ually, and tt neighborly esteem of
tested friendship ought to be at
least some inducement for re-
turn of courtesies. ......
Let the record speak:
In 1890, to GO no further back,
York gave Hemphill 1904. while
Chester gave him 1888, and Ian
caster 1874.
In 1892, when Strait first op-
posed Hemphill in the primary,
Straits vote i'm York VA, 1716.
the largest given him by any
comfy in the district. Chester
gave him 735.
In 1894 wher Strait was op-
posed by Finley, York notwith
standing the candidacy of one of
her own populnr sons, gave Strait
Ill votes, while Chester, with
no candidate in the field, gave
him 945.
/ In 1896, when Strait was op
posed by Finley and Trantham,
Strait received 1915 votes in
York, 9S7 in Chester and 149i in
Lancaster. With the exception
of his own county, STRAIT received
more votes in York that year
than in any other county in the
, district.
ibis Is the record and we fail &c
, perceive how the Review can fiy
ure ont that ''it was the hand
some vote Chester always gave
Lancaster's candidate, DR. Strait,
which has enabled us Iancastcr
to hold the congressional plum foI
six years. At any rate, we dc
not understand why, if the sup.
port accorded Strait is to he the
standard of fitness, the "obliga
! ton" rests upon Lancaster tc
vote for Barber in preference t.
Finley. The latter is York
candidate, and here, where he il
! known, his candidacy is urgeC
with enthusiasm and the men il
this county who have hcretofor,
given a loyal support to. Lancas
ter's candidates for high Office
will feel that there has been bu
little appreciation of their friend
ly efforts if Mr. Barber is vote
for in preference to Mr. Finle,
for the reason urged by the Re
view.
