at appears to me, however, after
consideration, that Of the three Mr..
Bruce is the most available candidate
at this time. He is gentleman of
ripe experience, Of character, has
made study of public problems for
lifetime and hence as a member
Of the Senate, is hes, able to give the
State and country that sort Of service
that is most needed
"Mr. Bruce has achieved literary
distinction such "a few men in our
country can equal and he will at
once take rank in the Senate as a
man Of fine intellectual attainments.
He is sound and conservative, Yields
an able pen and has measure of
culture and ability that does and will
make him conspicuous.

"Mr Goldsborough has acquired an
influence in Congress which will grow

for the district and State 70 lose him.
Besides. there i no good reason at all
TO violate an immemorial custom in

by a combination of ability, such as
