JUSTICE SHIRASS SON.-It seems unlikely
that Justice Shiras VIII be represented the next
Congress by a son. George Shiras Sd The Justice 5
son Is the candidate OF the Independent party in
the HHIHth District Of Pennsylvania. His can
didacy represents the protest of the Republican
elements in the district that are dissatisfied with
W. IL Graham, who has received a denomination
from the regular Republicans The district com
prises a part OF the county of Allegheny where
governor stone Is exceedingly unpopular. and as
Gsahams association with the Stone faction is con-
Slcuous ne L. being vigorously fought bv a large
ana Influential element Of Republicans With the
support OF the Democrats u Is thought Mr. Shiras
would be sure OF election. He IL a successful law
yer, ana keeps his Offices IN Pittsburg. II he
