County, in mass convention assembled,

and supplanted by the Democratic
party, the only power and party to
which the people can turn for relief,

sholt space of one years time. the
present administration has accomplish

dorse the course of our esteemed and

noble traits of character when friends |
are involved. We who know him best |
have long since learned that no high |
Office is high enough to allure him a.
way from his friends. Threatened |
perils 10 his own interests and welfare |
are not considered by him for a mo-
ment when gratitude and duty calls
= m to their rescue. For these noble
traits we adore him and especially
praise him for adhering to our esteem
ed and distinguished friend, Honorable |

store our party to its own.

best governors our state has ever pro-

who know him, are fully convinced
