The appearance of active opposition, however. Is having the natural effect of solidifying the friends of Col Lester The lurg* majority of the business m*t who will vote for .McKinley and Roosevelt at the head of the ticket Will have Col Les ter's nam- at the other end of It. Mayor Myers and other leaders, who also have luge financial interests, are very decid edly In favor of the return of Col. to Congress as th** most valuable man who could represent the district. Many of the district leaders, who have been talking about dissatisfaction and luke wurmnes*. both in the city and the roun irs. are getting in line ar.d de luring their •llexltnce to col latter. Evidently all that Is needed is a little opposition to stir *he fighting blood of the party. Rev. Fortune E.
