Besides. many people question whether .~tiearst was ! Governor in New York, notwithstand- | ing the party supported his nomina- tion. Sti1l we see 1t here, and have every section of the Union, that the Hearst-Hughes contest was the mat | ter of the greatest vital interest amid all the elections which were held in the forty-four States. l Talks of New Fire Horses.
