The ricCammon in Congress.
" | R . D. F. WILBER, one of the directors of
»- the McCammon Piano Co., Oneonta,
N. Y., whose nomination as the Republican
candidate for Congress in the 21st District of
this State, we announced a short time since in
THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW, was we are glad to
see triumphantly elected by something over 4,000
plurality. When it is known that the 21st Con-
gressional District has always been a stronghold
of democracy, the democrats having carried the
district by 1,746 majority last election, the great
victory achieved by Mr. Wilber can be readily
seen. Mr. Wilber's popularity in this district,
however, is in keeping with the popularity of
the matchless McCammon piano, in the manu-
facture of which he takes such an active
interest.

J. W. STEVENS, with Peek & Son, has brought
a suit for damages against Lucius McBride,
piano dealer, of Akron, O,, for uttering certain
libelous language.
