If the congressional situation in the dis

trict is a large one and Its united support
will give him a strong foundation for the
fight. There will be no other candidate for

Continuing along the line of guberna-

Wayne, was here yesterday, and that he is
counted on as an entry in the big race that

handicaps. But the lieutenant governor, If

| A letter from Governor Jefferson Davis,
of Arkansas, shown to a favored few
about the Statehouse yesterday, attracted
some little attention and aroused amuse-
ment as we'll. because of it's grammar and

writer was interested in "a matter which
involve" continued to speak of "a APP
propriation,' referred to a legal question
which had been "ejudicated," and wound
up. Very truly yours, JEFF. Davis Gov

n. D. Messenger, of Washington, a po-

of the Washington Star, was here yesterday
in company with Otto Carmichael. Last

the Presidents request and announced that
he will not oppose the resolution, l mag

and dried, as Colonel Herrick will be nom.
mated for Governor without struggle.
Rev. H. B. Long, pastor of one of the

Colonel George B. Lockwood, secre-
