/" MONTGOMERY, April 9, 1917.
Yesterday, (the first Thursday in
April, the Congressional Election
took place in Montgomery County for
that y lstrict-after short political dis
cussion, very unequaKy maintained by
the Candidates, the election terminated
very favourably tpthe republican cause.
fCol. Floyd forcibly and perspicu.
ousIy supported and defended the late
administration, by demonstrating its
;ns,. D';s";eSd and correct course, adj
ducing as the best evidence, the une
qualled prosperity of our country, her
Increased consequence and national
character, lie anticipated continu-
aBce ofthe same course by Mr.. Monroe,
who had long been so conspicuous in the
late administration, and invited eessa
ton of hostility on the part of the mi
nority to his administration. Col
M'Clannahan, the other Candidate, adj
mitted the prosperous condition Of the
country but attempted to support the
federal doctrine, and an opposition, by
an appeal to the mercenary feelings oil
the people, in relation to the compen-
sAtion bill, and national debt. Il was
unsvailing land so decisive was the ef.
icct produced by the short, cogent and
eloquent speech of Col. Floyd that ma
ny Of the Federalists refused to come
TO the Polls, while others acknowledged
their conviction and voted in his favor
--He obtained majority of two hun.
dred and twelve votes over Col M'Clan
nahan, which is supposed TO be conciu-
siVe 10 the District. Thus after many
years Of painful opposition to the adj.
ministration, it is believed, that the
people of the district have been brought
back to support it with increased con
fideDce.
{" Mr.. William Charlton and MIR. Ro-
bert Craig were chosen to represent the
coun'y.''
