mcrcjG We reprint the following brief
sketch of thc Senatorial nominee
james C.. Hall the Union nominee for senator
has bocr, tor the past five years, a citizen OF To
lrdo aud for still longer period intimately idcn-
God with s property and commercial interests 80
which, We may here say, are nearly identical with
thu.c NJ the entire District. Previous ~ the rcmovll
ut Mr.. Hall to Toledo he was a resident Ot Cincn
sati, where, for many years, he was distinguished
as m entrrprising and public spirited citizen.
Among the positions held by him in that city, were
thuSc Of President Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
aud President ithc Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.
lie was also Postmaster at Cincinnati, from 1898
tO 1852, during which time he suggested, and did
much towards organizing, the system Oi special
mail service, which has furnished valuable, and
row Indispensable addition TO our postal facili.
ties.
Asa citizen Of Toledo, Mr. Hall has been IN
active c1.wurkrr III all public enterprises for its
benefit. IN him the commercial interests of our
city AMI district will have m intelligent and ell
cignt repre- sentative.
Being no politician IN the ordinary sense of that
term, Mr. Hall rs ono oithoso men who would not
b. likely to be- put forward for public position,
cept IN tmrs like these, when party considerations
are laid aside and personal merit, aud unqunli
fed devotion 10 the Government, are recognized as
furnishing the best qualifications. lie is well in.
Urmcd, however upon political and general topics.
His acquaintance alnol the prominent citizens OF
the state, both IN public and private life, is cx-
tcnsivc and favorable. This, with his solid judg-
mcnt cOnSumatc tlCt, gGntlomany address and
social accomplishments, Caunot fail to give him
great influence in legislative body. lie is likely,
therefore, TO become a very useful member in pro-
curing the enactment Of such Legislation as Is cs-
pccally desirable for city and the northwestern
part of Ohio. The genial and agreeable charac
tcrstics to which we have referred, manifested in
social intercourse, have secured for him lnrge
number of personal friends, and will render him
exceedingly popular among the voters Of the Dis
tict, in his canvass in behalf of himself and his
associates on the Union ticket. His election, is, Of
course, certain, Ivy an overwhelming majority.
In conclusion, we may say, there is no man who,
since the outbreak of she rebellion, has boon more
hearty and unconditional in his support of the Gov
prumCnt.
