our Candidate for Senator.

The Senatorial district composed OF loga,
Potter, Mexican, and Clinton, is one or the
strongest Union districts in the State. 1t VIII
give majority for the Union Candidate TOR
Senator of between three and four thousand
votes. 1t is therefore an object of some de-
sire among all who have any taste for official
position to secure the nomination, which
equivisalent to an election
This will account for the tenacit7 with which
the friends of the several candidates, at the
Conference held in Coudersport last week,
hung to their favorites. Fifty ballotings were
we're had before 4 choice was made. The
conferees ofthe several counties were instruct
ed for particular individuals, and doubtless in
each case had strong personal bias for their
respective candidates, though there was no
special hostility on the part of the confereeS
to any ofthe gentlemen named for the office.
The Conferees from Clinton we know were
animated with a strong desire to nominate Mr.,
Chrtham who was the unanimous ehoice OF
this county, but they entertained sentiments
Of the highest respect for the integrity and
ability Of the rival candidates, and had eth er
Of those first named beeh successful in the
conference, not only the conferees from Clin-
ton and the whole county, but Mr.. Chatham
himself would have accorded him the most
cordial support and had Mr.. Chatham been
nominated, he would doubtless have received
the same hearty and unanimous support,
Neither of the three first named, and voted
for during fifty ballotings, received the NOM
ination. On the ffty-frst ballot Mr.. Williams
of Mexican, was withdrawn and CaptWarren
CoWlcs, Of the same county was nominated in
his stead. On the second ballot he was cho-
sen by the Conference, and is now the recog
nized candidate of the party for Senator in
this district, and we doubt not will receive
rhe cheerful support of every Union man in
the four counties.
Mr.. Cowles is a lawyer by profession, and
resides at Smethport. He is a man of good
natural endowments and thorough collegiate
training He holes an enyiable position at
at the bar,and las an unquestionable reputa-
ton for honesty and integrity His loyalty to
the Government during its severe trials has
been one sided bold, and unequiyocal having
been tested by one years service in the field
whittier he went at the head of a company
raised in his own county He was in nearly
all the battles between Grant and Lee, and al
ways behaved himself with courage and gal
lantry. His capacity for the position of Sena-
tor is pronounced by those who know him
and are perfectly qualified to judge, as being
such as will fit him for leadership in the high
er branch Of our Legislature. We pledge him
the endorsement and support of Clinton coun.
ty.-Clint0R Republican.
