Late Joshua Davis.

ers of this district will make their de
cision regarding the choice of the can
ddate to fill out the uneXpired term OF
Speaker Reed. The next few days. there
fore. will be busy ones and n great deal
Of work win be done by both the Re-
publican and Democratic managers. Ar
rangements have been made for the hold
ing of Republican meetings every day
next week and "Parson" Mckinney VIII
also be more actively engaged than ever.
As has been the case since the very be-
ginning of the campaign, the result is not
in doubt and there is not. nor has there
at any time been, the least apprehension
about the success of the Republican nom
inee. Hon. Amos l.. Allen of Alfred. Mr..
Allen has now become pretty Well known
throughout the two counties of Cumber-
land and York. which comprise the dis
trict. He has filled all of his dates, has
proven his decided worth by the able
speeches that he has delivered, and ii Is
rs certain as anything can well he that
he Will be accorded Il good majority on
the day of election.
The Democrats are plainly dsheartenel
and realize that Mr. Mckinney does not
stand any show. Indeed. the Democratic
standard bearer does not hesitate to al I
nit that his chances are most unfaVOr-
able for success. During the first of the
week he was in attendance at Il confer
cnce Of some of the leaders of his party
in this city and he then made bold to say
that the interest and enthusiasm was not
such it should he. MIR. Mckinney :
quite an aggressive political fighter and
is by far the best hustler that the Dem
ocratS have nominated IN TINS district
since the days Of ~ when the late Judge
Nathan Cleaves, was placed in the field
to try conclusions with Hon. Thomas +.
