CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.

| We have the pleasure of placing at
the head of our columns this week, the
name of our townsman, Hon. v B. Hor-
ton, as the Republican candidate for
Congress in this, the 1th District. Mr..
Horton will have to contend against
great odds in the contest, but we be-
lieve he can and will be elected. At
the election for Governor last fall the
Democratic party had a majority of 1920
in the District But we believe, with
Mr.. Horton, the Republicans can over
come this majority. The Republicans,
especially in the upper counties of the
District, have heretofore been divided and
the Democracy united Now the cir
cumstances of the parties are reversed
With a hearty union of the Republican
forces, and Mr.. Horton the choice of all
of them, and with the dissentions in the
ranks of the Denoera party, there is
every reason to believe that the District
can be redeemed. We go before the
people with candidate known to every
voter, and one against whom, no man,
however reckless, dare breath a word of
disparagement. A man in whom all
men of all parties have implicit conf
dence-a man who understands the wants
of the Country and who will attend to
those wants. A man whom no corrup-
ZIONIST will dare to approach, and whose
character and presence will do honor to
the District. A man of clear judgement
and calm deliberation, led away by no
isms, and uninfuenced by any faction
With such a candidate, we cannot do
our fellow citizens of the District the
injustice to suppose for moment, that
they will set him aside for the sake of
sending to the National Legislature a
representative of either Of the factions
into which the Democratic party has
been broken We believe, therefore, that
Mr.. Horton will be, elected.
