FUNNY NoMINATIoN.-The funniest OF all the
funny nominations that have been made In differ
ent parts of the country for members of Congress,
is we think, that of James G.. King, the hnancier
and broker of Wall street, to represent portion OF
the people OF the sovereign State OF New Jersey,
in the legislative councils of the nation. What on
earth induced them to go out of their own State,
cross the Hudson, and dive into the vaults and
counter-cears of Wall street, for candidate, we
cannot for the life of us, perceive. 1t is really as
consistent as it would have been in the shepherds
of Bethlehem to enter the temple OF Solomon, and
select from the money changes whom we read of,
one of them to be their Messiah. Such funny
thing as this nomination is, we never heard OF
What. can it be possible that there Is not In the
district referred to, man competent TO represent
the inhabitants IN Congress 1t is pretended that
MIR. King is a resident of New Jersey, because,
forsooth he lives or rather sleeps, generally near
Hoboken but he is not, in reality, resident OF
that State, although he may be so technically. A
mans residence is generally in the place where
his business and his interests are 1t certainly
cannot be pretended that Mr.. Kings business and
interests are IN New Jersey, or that he Is in any
other m amer interested In, or associated with,
the interests of that State, further than sleeping In
It, His business and interests are IN Wall street,
and it is the numerous cliques OF fnanciers, bro
kers, lame ducks and plucked pigeons of that cele-
bated region that he is qualified to represent as
member of Congress, and not the people OF New
jersey AS to the relation which he bears to New
Jers ey, ii is only that which turkey bears to the
pole on which he reposes on one leg, the other
being bent up under his wing. Mr.. King is, In
fact, only turkey in New Jersey; for his business
is IN New York, and he does no more in New
Jersey than roost, not, perhaps, on pole, but on
a bed.
But Mr.. King has been nominated, and we shall
see whether a Wall street broker will be elected
,oConp ess, to represent the people of New Jersey,
or not.

Important Political Statistics.

Our readers will find on the first page of this
DAVIS Herald, the result of the elections already
held IN 1913; the names of the members OF the
Thir.y.first Congress, SO far as known; the nomi-
nations in the several States In which elections
are vet to be held; the names of the democratic,
whr, Tree soil, and liberty league Presidential
Electors, and the city nominations, as far as made.
They will also find In our columns several inte-
resting political letters.
These statistics and these letters, just at this
time, are quite valuable.
/, will be perceived in the result OF the elections
already held, that the democrats have increased
their plurality, in twelve States, over eight thousand
since 1914, when Polk was elected by a plurality
of IS. 1872 votes, and that in the same period the
abol,t onists or free soilers have increased thell
vote in three States over eighteen thousand
We have been at considerable trouble in pre-
paung these tables; they are us accurate as they
can be made

SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRIcr.-Col Monroe,
1t appears, has declined the nomination as can
didate, for the wings, to representative sixth Con-
gressional district in Congress. We think he was
perfectly night in doing SO for he has been scan
dalously treated by his party, in being offered the
nomination for the short tem after contesting his
election, at an immense cost of time, labor, and
money with Mr. Jackson. Our friend Mr.. Greeley,
of the Tribune, has received the nomination, in
his stead so that Mr.. Greeley is, after all,
ddate for Congress. 1t ls an i'll wind that blows
nobody good.
The nominations of that district are now COM
plete, and they certainly present curious and
strange combination. There are Mr.. Brooks, of
the Express, and Mr.. Greeley, of the Tribune
The former of these gentlemen was violent
native American when that party promised to be
in the ascendant during the recent Irish agitation
he was a violent anti-Irishman, and for several
months he poured forth, unstintedly, his abuse of
General Taylor when he was mentioned as a can
didate for the Presidency. Then, again, Is Mr..
Greeley, violent pro-Irishman-one who worked
himself nearly to death in agitatng irish revolu-
ton and Irish independence and when he got
tired at this work, he published the celebrated
Slievegamoh letter, which killed several thousand
British soldiers on paper, and made the Irish mas
tiers of their country. He is, too, FOuierlte, an
abolitionist, an antl.capltal punishment man, and
everything else that is new and dangerous. Truly,
this is strangelmedley, or combination. How
can 1t be expected that the Irish will vote for the
candidate who was once native American, and
who opposed them at time when they were ex-
erting themselves to free their native land I?
Again-how can the natives go for Mr.. Greeley or
the opponents Of the dangerous schemes for the
reconstruction of society support him, when he is
the known and public advocate of all those princl-
pies and measures which we have mentioned!
Above all, how can the friends OF General Taylor
vote for one or the other Of them, after both de-
nounclng him for lone time-Mr. Greeley call
ing him journeyman human butcher, and Mr.
Brooks denying to HIM the possession of any
qualification necessary to fit him for the Presi-
dency, and even undertaking his military ability!
We cannot and will not pretend to answer these
questions; nor, indeed, is it necessssy, because
they will soon be submitted to the decision of the
voters of the district. At any rate, such curious
combination of new principles and isms was
never before presented to an enlig htened people.
