Several Men Who Would Like
to Succeed Him.

battle-ground May Be in Usage
County.
Moore, Adams and Lamb Also
Prospective Candidates.

There is every indication of a lively
contest over the nomina ton of con
gresham in the Fourth congressional
district next year. There are a number
Of congressional aspirants in the dis
trict and if conditions appear at all IA
vorable they viii doubtless make Con-
rressman Miller considerable trouble to
secure a denomination.
There was considerable feeling against
Miller in his last campaign for renomi-
nation, but he won at practically every
point. and after he was nominated. by
acclamation, most of those who had op-
posed him turned in and supported him
vigorously. Now they think they have
the right to again oppose his renomfna-
tkon.
A great deal depends on the action of
J. II. Pringle. speaker of the house in
ehe last legislature. A lot of Pringle's
friends want him to go to congress and
are urging him to enter the race for the
nomination against Miller. Whether he
will do so is not known. He has not
conhded his intentions in even his
closest friends-in fact. it is probably a
matter Of doubt with Mr. Pringle him
self If he goes into the fight it Will
hrst mean a severe contest with Senator

county. If Pringle goes into the race it
would doubtless be at the sacrifice Of his
personal interests Senator Miller has
been in control in Usage county too long
20 give up without struggle He does
not look with favor upon the ascendency
OF Speaker Pringle in Usage county poll
tics and the fight for supremacy will
come Immediately if Pringle goes into
the congressional race and asks for the
support Of Usage county in the con-
EressiOual convention.
II Pringle does not go into the race
and take Usage and perhaps one or two
other counties away from Congressman
Miller, there seems little doubt but what
Miller can be nominated. and the other
aspirants may keep out of the race al
together. IT, on the other hand. Pringle
should become an active candidate the
prospect would be good for eliminating
Miller from the contest by a combin4-
ton of the other forces, and it would
then be anybodys race.
Among the others who are mentioned
for the nomination are j. B. Adams Of
Butler, J. w. Moore of Marion. and c.
II Lamb OF WOodson. These, with Prin-
Gle, would make four candidates against
Miller, sufficient to control the conven-
tion If they should combine their forces
and secure Lyon county
On a basis Of one delegate for each $50
votes or major fraction thereof in each
county, the convention viii be composed
OF 1879 DELEGATES divided as follows.

Here is what tho manufacturers claim for
their wagons.
We use only thoroughly air-ilried timber o.
the very best quality using white oak for bOls
tiers and hawns. white oak reaches and white
oak poles.
Our axles are made of the very best selected
hickory.
Our wagon is thoroughly ironed i'll every par
ticular. Our irons are unusually heavy, and
both front and hind gears have double braces.
Our skeins are of the pattern known as the
Holmes Patent Straight bearing skein, which
Is conceded by wagon men to be the easiest
running on the market.
We use white oak hubs, white oak spOkes and
white oak fellows, using nothing but the grade
known as "a select"
Our wheel is thoroughly dried. The hubs are
expanded by steam. The spokes are driven in
glue by a power hammer, making the hub and
spoke one solid peace of timber. Every wheel
is soaked in boiling Iinseed oil, rendering them
imperviOus to moisture. The tires are always
tight.
Our wagon is painted with three coats of
paint, striped and vanished. We dip nothing.
In buying the Original aud popular Fish
Wagon you may rest assured that the quality
and workmanship are the best, and you are
getting the hest wagon on the market.
When in want of "a wagon, please remember
the above facts. aud also that we guarantee
and stand back of everything that we claim.
Our wagons will give you the best of ~satlsfac.
