The Prohibition Nominee.

There is evidently an element
against FeatherStone among the
ranks. For what reason we are
unable to say, for he carried the
flag in the last election, when sue
cess seemed hopeless, to the firing
line of the enemy and came near
being victorious. If he had lis
tened to some of the so. called
party leaders, there would have
been no candidate, no fight would
have been made, and for these
same croakers to criticise hun
now and say that he has compro-
missed the principles of the party
is the merest rot. Featherstone
made the fight on his own respon-
sibility, when no one else dared
make it, and now when there is
going to be an organized party
with fight planned, the command
of the forces should he given to
him. For the prohibitionists to
name any other would he a gor-
geous display of ,ingratitude.
However, we are glad to say that
the cause of prohibition in the
State would be perfectly safe in
the hands of Col Hoyt, or Mr.
Mccullough, or Mr. Brunson,
either of whom would make 3
