I have been very much interested

after much thought and consideration
of the taubject, I have deliberately
oome to the conclusion, that the 6nly
hope for reformation in our State ad.
ministration lies in the election of

is not personally objectionable to me,
but his surroundings are of such a
character, that in his election, he
would be powerless to accomplish
anything for the State, hio chief sup.

general, S. W. Molton, who is known
to all the State, as an accomplice to
the bond frauds that have boon per

could have arrived at such conclu

it was to make a case for his copart
nerj the Hon. D. U. Chamberlainj
who, I confess, I regard as head and

and manipulators of his election.

ask the people to look at his stir

would saddlo on the State the pay

has been doblared as illegal and void.
I say to my fellow-citizens, vote for
