Why Milroy’s Name is not on the Ticket.

Monticello Herald. ... The People’s party in this congressional district is deprived of a candidate for Congress, though it, held a convention and nominated John B. Milroy for that office several weeks ago. The reason is thftf no certificate r* his nomination has been filed with-the county clerks, as required by law, and the peculiar 0 afure of the css 2 * is that Chairman Newbold, the presiding officer of the convention at Monon which nominated Mr. Milroy, refused at the last moment to properly acknowledge the certificate of nomination, though notified by Clerk Brearly to do so. There is good ground for suspicion that there has been an attempt to sell the.. People’s party out in the inter<;si or tiw Deaiucratic candidate for Congress, and the plan has succeeded so far as depriving them of a candidate is concerned.
