Hon. VIM. q. CONN

This gentleman was TO have returned
home by the first fthe present week, As
il known, our county delegation were IN
strucled TO vote for Mr.. Coffin In Conven-
ton. He comes home TO prosecute the can
vase for the nomination for Congress, tor
tphich he is a candidate. Others are favora'
bly, mentioned for the position. including
DR.. Stevenson Of Putnam, and Col. Nelson
Of Vigo, either Of whom we can heartily
support ifchosen. but both of whom we are
informed. say they do not desire the posi-
ton Mr. Coffin. on the contrary, ~
candidate for ID, aud II chosen, viii. We
are assured, prosecute the canvass vigor-
ousiy to the closing ofthe polls on election
day while we are ready TO 60 for the
nominee whoever he may be. we ask that
Mr. Coilin'- claim shall receive fair aud
respectful consideration acknowledgements
caH.
Either OF the three Of the above named
gentlemen would make n suitable aud ei-
icient candidate for Congress. Either OF
them would make an efficient canvass aud
a good Congressman. They are all good
Republicans aud arc awake TO the corr"p.
tons Of the Democratic party aud the ne.
cessity OF placing the affairs Of the GeneT
al Government in the hands OF n different
class Of men, than those who have control
led them for the last several years.
As for Col. T. n. Nelson we feel justi-
fed 10 saying, that II the Republican party
OF this Congressional District desire him
TO make The race, he will bear our standard
aloit, from the moment of his nomination
until his triumphant election. lie will
fight with n Damascus blade, aud storm
the enemy in their strong holds and In their
weak ones. He will rally Republicans all
over the District and eloquently advocate
the great doctrines Of our party.
Col. Nelson is willing to take the race
il 1t is desirable that he should, and occu
plying this position, he awaits the action
of the Congressional Convention.

MIR. coo,.cr,y and Congress.

Our neighbor, Gel. Cookery, publishes
a card in his paper on Monday, in which
he announces himself as a candidate for
Congress in this Congressional District
He does not do this 10 "disturb the harmo'
nv or conflict with the wishes Of the DE.
mocracy Of he Dislrcr--Ju 10 CRAFTY his
friends" This is certainly very commend
able in the Colonel, sufficiently self.sacri'
ficing and truly Democratic. We are sat
isfied Mr.. Cookery would not run for Con
gress unless the people desired II. nor
would he go to Congress, unless he got
votes enough. In either case he displays
a degree Of individual forbearauce which
for Democrat il little astonishing.
But the truth is, Col Cookery has more
claims on his party than any other man in
this Congressional District. We speak Sc
riously and desire to do justice to the
claims Of our neighbor. He has done more
work for the Democratic party in the 7th
Congressional District, than all the pres
eni aspirants for Congressional favor put
together. He has spent more money and
sacrificed more time for the good of the
cause. than any other man in the District.
He has battled for the party in its darkest
hours, az we'll as in its days OF sunshine
He has, for the last ten or fifteen years,
been always foremost IN this county in
contendipg for Democratic measures and
men. IL the Democratic party rewards its
most able aud self-sacrficing advocates,
then should the Democratic Congressional
Convention give its nomination to Grafton
F. Cookery.
We say this 10 justice to our neigbbor.
The combined claims Of the other aspirants
do not approach bis. aud while We do not
undervslue their qualifications for the
place, it is certainly no disParagement to
them to say, he is in every respect their
equal. IL the Democratic party owes any
thing 10 its most devoted friends, then is
there due Mr.. Cookery. the first honor Of
his party 10 this Congressional District.
