3OCk MAI DELkGAlE.
We have seen and beard frequent al
lusiOns from various sources 10 Hon. S.
G. Daily as a candidate for reelection.
KIt Daily is no, = Candidate. We re-
greet bis decision 10 this matter. He
JwosId hare been nominated in Convention
with unanimily and supported with more
enthusiasm BY he people than ever before
The univ ersal testimony Of those visiting
Washington, (Lhe editor Of the News IN
luded) proves that the personal infu-
enee Of Mf. Daily with the President,
the Heeds Of Departments. COngressiOn-
al Committees. &c, is equalled BY few.
even Of the Members Of the House of
Representatives. As further evidence
VT quote the following extract from a
letter written BY a citizen If Washington:
And in no instance has the loyalty
Of the people Of Nebraska been made so
manifest as in the selection Of their Con-
gressional Delegates.
The sphere Of action Of a Territorial
delegate is so circumscribed as 10 pre-
clude tie possibility 10 accomplish much,
unless that individual be a man Of great
energy. And it is the testimony Of ev-
cry statesman with whom / have con-
verSed on the subject, that no delegate
ever welded greater power, or used 1t
for a Dobler purpose, than the Hon. S.
G. Daily OF Nebraska. He is always
busy. eilhe attending 10 the importuni-
ties Of friends for public patronage or to
the interest of the people of the Terrific
~ generally. Ia his late efforts 70 pro-
cure the laying out Of a government road
from Columbus on the Platte river, 10
Idaho and in which be succeeded when
there was scarce a hope; he has display
ed-an energy and a wsIchfulness regard
ing the interests Of Nebraska that the
people ought to and ~undOubty viii prop
erly appreciate.
There are a number of gentlemen
spoken Of in connection with the Dele
gate question, either Of whom would I'LL
JefersOn's standard for a public servant,
viz: possessing integrity and capacity
Among The names talked of for this pO-
silOn are T. w. TIPrON, of this county,
Chaplain Of the Nebraska First; Col.
o. H. Irish. of OtOs- County; +. M.
Marquette, of Cass; Gov. Alvin Saun-
ders, A. S. Paddock ; G. C. Mcneil. p.
w. Hitchcock; and John /. Redick, of
Douglas County, snd B. F. Lushbaugh,
of Platte County.
There may be others also, whose m
we have not heard proposed. Il remains
for The loyal, patriotic, union-loVIng citi-
zens Of Nebraska TO decide, through their
delegates IN the Convention that meets in
Nebraska Cuy, who their standard-bear-
er shall be. Whoever he NAV be be will
receive the hearty support of the Union
party There are no disappointed cliques
no annimOsities now dividing the party.
We hope the Convention may select, if
possible, the person possessing the most
ability and fitness for the position of del
egate. Conventions should always look
more to ability and integrity IL selecting
candidates, than to the section or locality
IN which they may happen 10 live. Very
many sessions Of the American Congress
have ranked much lower in point Of in
~tellect, than they would have done, had
not the nominating Conventions paid 100
much attention TO the particular Own or
county in which their best men lived.
Who the Peace Democrats may NOM
mate, lime viii develOpe. Their platform
will be regulated by the platform adOp-
ted a, Chicago. Appearances now seem
20 indicate that they viii take the peace
schultz.
DR.. Miller. POppletOn and Morton are
all supposed to have aspirations. A por.
ton Of the party, looking to availability,
are anxious to nominate Mr.. Blacker, Of
the Nebraska First, provided he can be
induced 10 accept. Should he ~disaPpOinl
his friends by doing so, he will not re-
ceiVe five votes from bis own regiment
yet be might be more available than such
men as Morton and POpPlelOn.
We will volunteer a LILLE unsolicited
advice to the CoPperheads. Its to nOm-
mate Mr.. Aug. Harvey, editor Of the
Nebraska City News. He makes a sPi-
cy paper--decidedly the sblest Demo-
cratic paper Of the Territory. He la:
worked faithfully for the party for years.
