CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.

Curtis for Congress. Mr.. Stebbins. the present
member, was first named. but was withdrew
BY authority o. he would decline to receive the
nomination of the Convention. No stronger
non,in alton could DO made than that Of Mr..
Curtis. He is exceedingly popular throughout
the district. and ia certain 70 receive much
more than the party vote in Richmond County
where he resides. The First Is one OF tho hard
est Democratic Districts IN the State, always
giving in close contests, majority OF from sew
enteen hundred to two thousand. But MIR.
Curtis will make An exceedingly sharp contest
with any man whom the opposition can set up.
His high character. his great power as pubic
speaker, bis eminent fitness for the office the
universal esteem inwhioh he 10 held, and the hard
work be has so long given to tbs party, VIII
insure him o very largo vote. Let the Union
men turn to with will and mako It overwheln-
ing. 7, is by no means impossible.
The battle set in tho Oneida District in this
State is TO our liking. The Mcclellan De-
mocracy have given KEENAN, the wages OF bis
years hire---he has been renominated. Thore
is 10 rounded, smooth negativeness in this gen.
tlemsn's misrepresentation Of his constituency.
His political SHINING has been o,ear-cut, we'll
defined, open, and defiant. He ID srraigned in
his District, for that be vent 20 Washington
under pledges to support all Constitutional
measures for carrying out the war, the allegation
having been made in his behalf that President
Lincoln would find Ia him truer supporter
than in the Republican canddate-for that ne
steadily voted for every proposal 10 censure or
denouncc TIE Administration-for that he voted
against giving the soldiers Of the Union home
steads from the confscated lands Of Robeli-
for that he voted against the bills introduced
ior raising troops, and on all the stages Of tho
Enrolment bill was recorded or paired against
it--for that be- Free Sober Of lsis, when
bill was brought in to repeal the Fugitive Slave
Lag, voted 10 retain that statute in force.
Dir. Herman viii he tried on this arrsignment
in November by the good people Of the XXlat
District. OF the verdict they will give we have
10 doubt. A most intelligent politician III
Oneida SAYS: "IIo can be beaten as easily a.
ans other man Of his party, and his defeat VIII

dence Of patriotic constituency. Francis Ker-
nan must not, and will not, 81, another term III
Congress. lie will be beaten; Mr.. Conkln
viii be elected; but the result should be en-
forced BIZ majority Of tuo thousand IL can
be; Union men Of Oneida together to work.
and II SHALL BE-"
In tho Second District OF New-Jerey the
Unionsts have nominated Dr.. WILLIAM A.
NEWELL. Of Monmouth County. This is a
strong nomination, Gnd ought 70 give us an
easy victory. Dr. Newell was Wing member
Of Coagress from $50 70 1850, being elected
fir, By l,572 majority. In 1856 be was elected
Governor Of the State. succeeding Gov. Rod
man VI. Price.
In this District the Democrats hare renomi-
mated George Middleton. who has represented
their politics in Congress two years, without
.quirning. IL was elected in l-C2 by major
is Of l,3io. L. loo the majority given u MF.
LIsCoLs in the District was 2l67.
The Unionists OF the WITH New-Jcrsoy Dis
triot have nominated TnEoDoRg LITTLE, Of
Monis. The District vas carried by The present
Democratic representative, Roger, by major
/ it, Of 3,I-7. IL 100 the vote (ozcepiiug that
Of the towns in Essex was, FOR Lincoln 9,jl9,
ror Fusion 1880; majority against Lincoln
1877.
The majority that sent tho Democrat Charles
NJ Harris TO Congress from the Ivth Illinois Dis
trct, (2,9l5) seems hard to beat. But We read
with satisfaction in Western papers that uaTri4s
constituents have broken ranks, and orc in mu-
tiny against the Chicago Platform of surrender
and submission. Gen. Harding. We are assured,
IL making q most thorough and effective canvass
Of the District, and if hard work by patriotic
soldier in behalf Of right principles can secure 4
triumph IN that quarter. ho viii DO elected by 3
splendid majority. r.
General ASHLEY Of tie Kin Ohio District has
lad competitor for his sect in Congress, put in
the field against him. The Mcclellan Democ-
racy have found IN the District a candidate who
unites in one person the qualities Of u college
graduate, ono-legged soldier, q worsh!per OF
the gnnbost General, and subscriber to the
Chicago Platform. lie Is Col. Rice OF the 53th
Ohio Ho had better try 10 storm anything
around Richmond. than TO dash 20 tho Union
majority in AsnLEYS District IN l-6j, oi 1908.
