WEDNESDAY MOUNTAINEERING. 80



during this time sought in every manner to
obtain the "opinion of the people" on the
nomination of Hon. Sam'l Hall for Congress,
we are highly grati6ed in believing, that this
nomination has given universal satisfaction,
except with those who may well regard it
with fear. We do not believe the nomlna.
ton of any other man whose name was spok- |
en- of before the convention at all, could pos
sibly have given better satisfaction if as good.
Judge Hall is man universally respected,
even by those few with whom ne may be
personally obnoxious for some private rea-
son. He is known to be abundantly capable
for the position in which il is proposed to
place him, and that he would fill this posi-
ton with honor and dignity, and to the en-.
est enemy he has, could not for moment be.
lieve that under any circumstances, Judge
Hall, as the Representative Of the First Dis
trict of Indiana, would cease to reflect re-
psct and credit OIL the sense and wisdom ct
those who conferred upon him the honor Of
thus representing them.
This sense of confidence in the ability,
uprightness and integrity of Judge Hall, has
secured for his nomination the decided ap-
proval, so far as we can learn, of the whole
district. 1t is strong nomination, and so it
will be found on the day of election. tits
one too that no man need be ashamed to sup
port. 1t combines all the elen,e nts which
should be successful with an intelligent peo-
ple-aud we now believe that the citizens Of
this district have made up their minds to Sc
Iect a Representative worthy of themselves
and of the Importance Of their interests
We believe they have determined as body
to no longer permit party drill to thrust upon
them man utterly united for the position
OF Representative. In other words, we be-
leve they are for once going to think for them
selves. If they have such determinations, thu
name of Samuel Hall must be acceptable t
70 them. His name has been offered by
mass meeting of the PEOPLE, without re
spect to party, and he will be voted for b.
the PEOPLE without respect to party.
Bot we urge upon his friends action. Tn
Nebraskaites will leave nothing untried
elect Smith Miller. The eyes Of the Who'll
State are turned to this district. II the NJ
braska candidate in this, the most Souther
district of Indiana, cannot be elected, wheI
can one be! That is what they as
themselves. The Nebraska portion Of Il
Democratic party are going to make lndiaI
the battle field Of the fell elections, and Il
First District of Indiana, its hottest grouI
of struggle. Afraid to trust the question
the honest judgment of the people, unbiass
by false representations and unmystifed
sophistry, they are importing speakers fro
all quarters, and pouring them into the Sta
and especially into this district from 9th
parts of the State. They will do ever
thing to keep the people from thinking for the
selves.
We therefore urge upon the opponents
the infamous Nebraska swindle, and up
the friends Of the nominee of the late mi
meeting, to GO TO WORK. We sho,
not urge any action if the Nebraskaites WI
not making such extraordinary efforts,
merely with presenting Judge Halls ma
to the people to compare with SIN
Miller's, and satisfied with the cool judgm'
of the people, we would be content Il
things should take their natural course
But labor can secure to US an easy yicto
and that labor we invite.
