struck with it, while in the first case

two days before getting down" For

New London Republican; With all
due respect to every other gentleman
who aspires to the honorable and re-
spOnSible post of senator from so
important commonwealth as Wis
cOnsin this paper aligns itself with
the Webb forces, which forces, though
seemingly few in numbers, are strong
in their belief that Charles M. Webb
would make the ideal senator. He
possesses all the qualifications that
go to make such a man. He is a highly
educated, finely polished gentleman
who has been an honor to the state in
every position in which he has been
tried. He is not a wealthy man, but
he is brainy; he is not shrewd poll
tician, but he is giant in ability and
his integrity is unQuestiOned. This
paper does care much whether or not
it is aboard the bandWagOn in this
matter, but it will applaud every
legislator who breaks the cords which
wealth and political pulls have woven
and votes for Charles Webb for United
States senator to succeed John l..
Mitchell.
