Had McNair continued in the race
Lee would have wiped him UP by a
large majority, as from nearly every
quarter of the Joiner vote we had
received straight information that it
was going for Lee. Joiner himself,
The Bay Spring News his home pa
per, and his most influential lieu
tenants were openly declared for and
working to encompass the downfall
of McNair We estimate that so per
cent of the Joiner vote would have
wheeled into the Lee column.

acknowledge the nobility of the Nun:
the man who really wanted TO serve
Lis Commonwealth for the real and
enduring good he believed he could
do it, but who through maiignity
and misrepresentation, was SO mis-
understood by his people as not to
receive an assenting vote. True he
got a large vote, over $4,000, but

opportunity to exalt for her own

Of giantic statesman mould; one who

this good man from private life: call
SO loud and persistently that he will
have to yield to the popular clamor

rightful place in the galaxy of those

suit Scranton Star.
Mr.. Williams has no room to boast,
being in congress a years, minority

and man of great learning, to let a
man of q common school education

him in.-Dawn of Light.
