tiles in candidate could be recognized he should
have been the nominee. The handsome, gallant
and manly way in which he conducted himself
after his defeat in the nomination of his successfu

Irrespective that he only wishes the Office in the
event that suitable candidate presents himself
within that commercial negOtionable tlme,)
have to say that he looks like he was hurrylng can
didates into the field Shakespeare said, TO make
their "vauting ambition overlap itsefp' What
matters it to him who is our Democratic nominee
for Governors if he has no personal ambition? What
matters it to him how many candidates there are
he is really ambitious for reelecton 1t cannot be
possibIe that he regards it as the merrier. If
there are halfdoZen or more, or does he have the
idea that his generosity i'll inviting numberless
others to compete will divide the vote and give him
a better show and i.the mostest votes ?'' am his
friend also and voted for him before In fact have
no particular objections to him now II he Will agree

if Governor Frank can get there | won't SIT way
back but as do on all Democratic occasions, go to
the front.
What's the matter with Colonel Victor Baugh

fine gentleman and plus ultra Democrat! !

name and is "tip-top fellow" and if he is our
nominee it will give me pleasure to work and vote
for him. .
Again There is Buchanan Schley-where is he :?
Census or no census his name is as Democratic as
VIM. Jennings Bryant The last real Democratic
President the United States had was named Bu-
chanan, while the greatest naval hero of our Span
ish war was named Schleyl Stop ana thlnk Oh IL!
He is Democrat aud so am I. Pll vote for him.
Last but not least by great deal Is Attorney
General Isidor Rayner There is considerable Schley
attached to him ! He isn't short OF any quallnca-
ton necessary to a Gubcrnatorial office! Ii | am
not mistaken he has national reputation, une-
qualed by any person, place or thing in this coun-
try and the balance of the world can be thrown in
for good measure He would make ga powerful

"his note" year more later Doubtless he
would like to be generous, and am satisfied no
thing would give Winfield scott Scnley greater
pleasure Like those other good Democratic fell
lows named would support him tool No body is
too good a Democrat for me to support. l was
raised that way.
Non DEGENER.
