Neither VIII Withdraw,

Efforts TO induce one or both of the
faetional candidates for governor TO
withdraw in the interest of harmony
have thus far proven unsuccessful. Un-
fit Swisher is reported to have turned
down an offer of $4,000 in cash.to pull
OUT OF the race, and Undesirable
Scherr is said to have refused to accept
a federal office. The former 10 fighting
for Regularity" the latter for "princi-
pie" and both are angry. Swisher asks
for vindieation, while scherr insists
that Swisher methods should be re-
baked.
There is no doubt that the hopeless
ness of the situation is result of the
incorporate language INDUCED in by
the adherents of the two candidates
Partisans have not hesitated to dis
close party secrets, nor have they
scrupled about the fairness of their
charges. The leaders of the party, who
delayed their overtures for harmony
until the feeling of the disputants
abated, acted unwisely, as the bitter
ness daily increased, and there is to-
day less likelihood Of compromise
than on the morning after the rival
were held.-Whselins
