From present appearances his election

cost Hon. William A. Young, the de-
posed Democrat, but little more effort
than keeping the two factions OF the
Republican party separate. The Demo
Gratis OF the Second District Will give
him unanimous support. When he ran In
1896 the Palmer and Buckner faction put
