Henry Sherwood— Our Candidate
For Congress.
. The democratic Congressional con-
ference of this, 18th, district, met at
Lock Haven, on Sth inst, and nomiua
ted Hexry SnErwoob, Esq. of Tioga
county, as the democratic candidate
for Congress, by acclamation. Mr.
Mackey did not permit the use of his
name, not wishing to be a candidate, |
one of the most popular men in Tioga
county, and will poll a heavy vote
there. This vouches for the excellence
of the man. Helis a lawyer of great
ability, and should he be elected, we
will be represented in Congress by a|
man who will be an honor to the dis |
trict, and who will not disgrace his|
constituents by dodging votes, and vo-|
