more troublous as time wears on. For
mer Congressman /. /. Handy, who ar
rived here today to speak at the kits

his hard fight for the place, and firmly
expects the nomination.
When twitted by a Republican about
the way the leaders were bowling him
out of the fight as a dangerous man, he
retorted: Il am not consulting any
leaders about my nomination; I'm after
the people direct. And l don't propose
to be bowled out by any person or per-
sons short of the duly-elected delegates
on the floor of the State convention.
Moreover, 1 expect to make a vigorous
canvass, anu intend to get in a carriage
and see every delegate that l can
reach"
"But you must remember, Handy,
was the rejoinder. "it's just as Kenney
says about that in these two lower
countoes. for he holds them n the hol-
low Of his hand, particularly Kent
county"
Il concede him that honor as a sena-
torial candidate" answered the big
