Our CANDIDATaS.

O0A GANDIDAIES.
The character of the Republican candi.
dates residing in keokuk, is great source
OF pride to us, and we trust will b. appre.
ciated BY our citizens generally, n such ,
manner as to leave no doubts upon the pub.
lie mind.
Judge Lowe, who is known throughout tn.
state, and is esteemed aud loved as widel,
as he 10 known, has been living in our mds
for eight or ten years, and has been distin.
guished even here by his public spirit, ant
his kind and friendly intercourse in socia
life. He is intimately interested in all the
relations and sympa,hies Of the people OF
Keokuk, and aside from party ties would
carry almost unanimous vote against his
competitor. And even in spite of those ties
We hope that the generosity Of neighborly
feeling, mutual interest as fellow citizens,
and the pride all our citizens take in the
name and fame Of Keokuk, will incline them
TO- give the worthy representative of the com.
mercial metropolis Of the state, generous
vote. Let them remember that Keokuk has
never been known Mt Washington or else
where, BY having her name associated with
that Of persons holding high positions in the
state or national government. Our Cover
nors and Senators, our Post Office Auditor
and our Commissioner Of Patents, and
Ministers - Foreign Courts, all hail from
Burlington and Dubuque. Those cities APP
preciate the distinction and know its value.
and large calculations are made regarding
Samucfs majority in Dubuque in conse.
quencc Of this local feeling. Ii is very nat
ural that such should DO the case, but why
should not the citizens Of Keokuk be equally
wide awake, and regard their local nterest s
with as great favor as the citizens Of Dubuque
do.
Our candidate for the Senate, j. W. Ran
kin, Esq, is equally entitled to the favor Of
his fellow citizens in oil the relations af life.
As lawyer of talent, reputation, and ADM
rable business capacity, he would have grea,
influence amongst hts fellow members and
his services would be invaluable to the int.
erests Of keokuk. The majority OF the
Senate will be Republicans, and it is to tina,
Republican majority We shall have to look
Tor any measures that We may need, for they
will have the power. Which then, is mos
likely to influence Republican Senate ia
our favor, Thurston or Rankin? Let Dem
ocrats here remember that enough Republic
cans hold over to render it perfectly certai,
that there will be Republican majority il
the Senate in any event, and that in yotin,
for Rankin they will no, affect the politica
character Of tina. body at all, while they vii
elect warm friend instead Of bitter enc
proved himself to be.
George ". MeCrary, Esq, the candida,
for Representative in the district comprise
Of Lee, Henry aud Van Buren, counties
we'll known to most OF our citizens as
young lawyer Of remarkable promise and un
exeeptionable habits. As the Representativ
Of the young men Of the place he would d
heokuk honor anywhere, and his service
and influence viii be much needed by our d,
liens, with the Republican wing of the Hous
Of Representatives next winter.
Lei our citizens do their duty 70 Keoku.
and eject this worthy trio, and they will ne,
er soc cause TO regret or be ashamed of il.
