I t has also'been circulated that Df. Carson called on the Gazette to cease Its fight on the congressional convention over which he presided. The Gazetfe evidently ignored the Dr’s, pleadings, judging from late issues. I t is stated that the gang would like to have M. L.

There has been sottte talk that probably J. W» Pollock would like to enter tlie race. A new name has been mentioned in connection with the representa­ tive race—that of Dr. D, E, Spain", Of Clifton. Tho Dr. has not an­ nounced himself but a. number of his friends are urging him for this Important place. H e is one of the leading members of the Greene County Medical Association and has gained a large acquaintance during ids twenty years practice in Clifton. I t iff safe to say that should Dr. &pahr represent this county in the legislature the people could de­ pend on* him in the selection of Senator Foraker’s successor.
