By an oversight, this paper
failed t> mention the fact that
M r. Hughes deli vei ed an address
here shortly before the primary,
in the interest of his candida*y
for re-election to congress. This,
hike many other items, we fail
ed t> publish, but not from a
selfish motive, but purely an
oversight. The fact that the
matter had never occurted to
us that the notice had been
left out ifntn ।ur atunti< n was
called to it by a friend of ours
and also of Mr. Hughes. We
apologize for the omission of the
notice and hope that no one, will
fed that we could consistently
ba narrow enough to fail to give
a square deal to all, in a matter
like this. While we supported
Mr. Clements in this race, yet
Mr. Hughes was due equal cour
tesy at our bauds,and it was not
from motive of selfishness that
he failed to get it in this inst
ance.
