Walla Walla Statesman

'The Coming Man.'—The Port Townsend Message has an unusually able article in which the claims of Messrs. Garfielde and Flanders to the radical nomination for Congress are discussed with great fairness, and the conclusion arrived at that it is impolitic to place either of these gentlemen in nomination. The article is generally regarded as a feeler, thrown out for the purpose of directing attention to Judge Dennison as the 'coming man.' The writer urges that the breach between the friends of Flanders and Garfielde is so wide that it cannot be bridged over, and hence it becomes necessary to find a new man who is not compromised in the quarrel. This 'new man' without doubt is Judge Dennison, who, outside of his politics, is a most estimable gentleman.
