Office we now bear willing testimony.
There are many conjectures a. 20 the
position of Senator Wilkinson in this
camDaign, but We fail 20 see wherein Il ID
doubtful. The Senator has always pro-
claimed his republication, and In every
speech has announced his intention OF
voting the ticket. We expect him to do
as he says. Democratic success must be
accomplished by Democratic work.
So far as reported last Saturdays pri.
mary was very quiet and orderly. The
result was foregone conclusion and In
but few Of the districts was there any
contest worthy Of mention. Garner B.
Mahoney, colored, was the only oppo.
sition candidate 90 the organization
tickes and though he made good fight
he could hardly dent the slate, much
less break it.
