Show COUKTT COLLECTOR HARDY seems to belong be-long to that small but fortunate class of men who are so lucky that if they were to fall into a cesspool would emerge smelling like a rose Mr HARDY emphatically declined de-clined a renomination last summer and we always thought he did so because he didnt relish the idea of defeat which he know must come to all who sought office on the Republican ticket butnowhe comes to the front smilingly as the lawful incumbent of the office for nearly two years more We congratulate the Republicans and Collector HARDY not on their voting strength as shown last August but on the luck which gives them an office in spite of votes or canvass |
