OUR CONGRESSMAN CANDIDATE

OUR NGRESSI0NAL CANDIDATE.
We place at the head of our paper this
week the name Of A. w. Hubbard, of Sioux
City, the Republican nominee for Congress
in this District. With Judge Hubbard we
have no personal acquaintance, but he enjoys
the reputation Of being one of the ablest men
in Northern Iowa, and those who know him
best speak in tho highest terms Of his worth
and ability. Possessed of mature and Wig
orous intellect, aripo scholar, unimpeachable
in his morals, and being withal, pleasant
and forciblc speaker, it is universally &C.
knowledgcd that he is eminently well-quali-
fed for the responsible duties Of the position
to which he has been nominated Our peo-
pie will have an opportunity to become bet
ter acquainted with him, as he will canvass
the District.
At present Mr.. Hubbard is Judge of the
District Court Of the 4th District. the duties
Of which position he has discharged with
credit to himself and to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Judge Hubbard is emphatically
self-madc man. Commencing life as a
stone mason he has risen to his present hon.
CRADLE position by virtue Of dis inherent tn.
ergy alone. He is native Of Connecticut,
is about forty-five years of age, and has been
located in the State since 1856.
His having received the nomination at the
hands Of the loyal citizens of Northwestern
Iowa is a sufficient guarantee of his sound
ress on the Union question, and without say
ing more on this point at this time, we will
assure our readers that he will not disappoint
loyal and patriotic men in the policy he will
advocate for the suppression Of this gigantic
rebellion. His election is certain, but to roll
up majority that shall completely overwhem
and annihilate the semi-secesh, let every un-
conditional Union man work INCREASINGLY till
the day Of election for majority unprccc-
denied in this district.
The Fl. Dodge Republican in speaking of
the nominee says:
The candidate selected is, without doubt,
one of the very best men in the State-a mar
possessing all the old Jsffersonian qualifica.
items in most eminent degree. Judge
Hubbard is recognized all over the State as
one of the most learned and able jurists in it,
his decisions placing him in the front rank
of the profession. He is at present, the pre-
siding Judge of the Fourth judicial District,
and has resided at Sioux City since the
spring Of 1856. We have known him init.
mately for five years, and reserve nothing
when We say that there is no ADLER nor bet
ter man in our District. AS member Of
Congress he will rank among the first, as
patriot and statesmen, the equal Of the very
best. Judge Hubbard occupies no doubtful
position on the great issues of the present
hour. He is sound Republican, and an
earnest advocate of our cardinal doctrines.

pen Of our friend Bailey Of the Butler County
Stars aud Stripes:

Congress. of the Republicans of the sixth
Congressional district of this State, is man

in Rush County Indiana, and one or two
terms represented that County in the Lcgis-
lature of that State. a

and the last four years has been Judge ofthe
fourth Judicial district.
lie is about forty-two years of age, of med
ium stature, and spare figure. but of active
industrious habits. He is fine speaker,
forcible and logical debater, q true Republi-
can, and every inch a man. All the loyal
voters Of this district, vino are not misled by
the specious Misrepresentation Of disloyal
leaders, will with a hearty good will, support
