In Immediately alIigning himself
with the Good Government forces as
soon as the results of the general
primary were known, DR.. J. B. Aswell
has shown himself to be 3 man fully
worthy of the high esteem in which he
Is held by the twenty-One thousand
voters who vOteled for him In the
primary, and probably twice as many
Thousand more who did not vote for
him, but at the same time honor ana
respect him as one OF the potent fac
tors for good in the state. In no single
act in the Doctors entire public Careet,
which has not been devoid Of much
that was Of lasting benefit to the state
has he done anything that conferred as
great benefit upon the state, or will
raise him in the esteem of the people,
as the attitude he took in the present
political contest. There is no doubt
that his prompt alignment with the
Good Government forces had much to
do with the retirement of the Ring
candidate, and avoiding the necessity
Of Il second primary. The fact that it
is highly probable that the Doctor
could not have delivered any consid-
cradle numbers of his following to the
ring had he SO desired does not lesson
The commendable courage and magnan
jmouS spirit he displayed in takingthe
stand that he did.
