that makes him a rue representative.
Mr.. Sheldon, we know but liue Of he
seems 10 be a distant observer Of what is
going on, rather than an active participant.
The mex, River County, south, is Otoe,
the banner County south OF The Platte.
She has n Delegation that is second to
hone in the Legislature. ]. c. Decker,
from this County, is Speaker of the House.
He was a member Of the first two Legis-
%latures, and was considered the best Par
limen,arian of those bodies. As Speaker,
of this body, it would be enough to say,
that Of the votes cast for that office, he
received 90 out Of 80, and the Omaha
combination against him As a candid,
impartial and able presiding officer, he
has no superior, in the history of Nebras-
ka legislation and we know will fully
meet the expectations of his supporters.
DR.. ]. c. Campbell, from the same Coun-
iy, member of the second Legislature,
and Chairman of the Committee on Priv
leges and Elections, stands second to no
man in that body, in point of real ability,
actual usefulness,and sterling worth. His
ripe experience and always pointed and
sagelike reasoning, have won for him,
not only Of his constituents, but from all
the members of the House, their respect
and confidence. w. b. Hail, inthis Del
egation, has been a member Of every
Legislature of Nebraska. He is the very
embodiment Of all hat is honorable in a
legislative point of view. Nothing that
could be written or said of him, would or
could change the high opinion the people
of the Territory have Of him as a man,
and a legislator. ID. b. Robb, from that
beautiful little place, Wyoming, in the
same County, is a young man, with a
keen perception of right, and having the
nerve and a bold, daring, and ~independ-
eni courage to advocate what is Just and
right, he is seldom or never found at fault
in the discharge Of his Legislative duties.
j. G. Able from Otoe City, another ru-
raj district from the same County, is a
man we should think of some experience
in the world, and to quote the language of
a paper published in his w County, "he
has a fair share of talent" Morton,
commonly known as J. Sterling Morton,
from this County, is the Merry-Andrew
Of the body, having no influence for good
or evil. He is useful in his place, his lie.
