not altogether by appointment but be-
cause some happened to be in the city

as his friends. are known TO bs. men Of
good political sense. their judgments
are worth something and hey are in
earnest in regard to the candidacy Of
Mr.. Cummins. The spirit of concilia-
l5iion is in the air. Factionaiisrns is to- be
laid aside. The past IS To be forgotten
I That is what everybody is saving ard
What everybody. says goes. There are
l$to be no Cumnins men nor anti-s-uns-
mins men. Therefore 1t is proper 10!
Isconsider all possible candidates on their
merits without any regard tos tff. past
factional differences Burial 5f the

Lent candidate must be selected Or ore
/ Who is inconspcuous So the move
ment for Cummins has gained great
force. 1t is Represented that if Cum

good guesses say that he Will not ne
