Manv inquiries have recently come to this office, concerning the race for the legjlature, It would ho difficult for one who has been in this county only one year t<? .nterpret these inquiries with any degree of certainty, but it does seem that there are many voters who were anxious to support the lion. D. S. Mat tieson for this position who are not satisfied sinc e his refusal to run. There are good men already in the race, men who have previ>usly been before the people and have proven their populaiity by polling votes in large numbers, but it hus been apparent for some time that there was room for another strong man. It is right here that. Dame Ivumor comes in with the name of one of Chesterfield's best ami most progressive citizens? Charles L. llunley, esq. Mr. llunley has not an mm need, and when asked if he would do so, he closed his mouth in imitation of a sphynx, but we oelieve bis ears remained open.
