THE ELECTION or aIR, Unn.


this district, aud the choice Is between Mr..
n 3. Judd and Mr. Assessor Wallace. Tho
political division between these two men,
and tue parties they represent. Is 50 wide
that there can hardly be any occasion TO
comment upon the relative personal fitness
Of the candidates. Mr.. Judd is possibly In
every respect one Of the best qualified men
in the district for the Office. He has natural
abilities OF fine order; hc has the attain
mcnts Of education, nnd ripe legislative
experience, and enjoys that po,ition
In Political circles which will give to his Gu
beavers force and a SUCCESS. not u}vays
within the reach even of the highest talent.
Mr.. Judd will 80 to Washington, not % a
stranger who will have to be put at long
apprenticeship In order to understand his
business. He will 70 there, competent by
practical experience to enter at once on the
duties of Legislator, and qualified by his
former public service to take high rank I'M.
rncd1ase1y on importsnt committees. II Is
time that Chicago was thus represented iu
the House. THIS Large district, With pop1.
lation equal to the number required
for two Representatives, ought to be
represented in Congress BY man
will command the respect and dcierenee OF
his fellow members. We know that It has
become proverbial that large cities which
have local interest In being represented by
able aad experienced men, are generally rep
resented by men Of quite the contrary char
acter, bnt Chicago owes 1t TO herself 10 vim
dlcatc tho capacity of her people to elect II
gentleman, q man OF practical learning, and
one who can contribute something to the
general uscfu'ntss of Congress. It Is true
that the cities represented by the Brookses,
Woods, Morrssscys, and men of that ilk, are
Democratic, but there Is In all cities an op-
portunfty for demagogues to pandrr 10 the
dress Of society. Fortunately Chicago has
risen above anything Of that kind, 1nd In the
I next Congress Will have Representative
worthy Of ler commercial and political ilu-
portance.
Bnt the election Of Mr. Judd to Congress is
Lot ali TINT Is involved In the matter. The
| issue upon which the people will vote is that
Of Congress against Andrew johnson. II
And.cw johnson were the opposing candl,
dntc, Is there Republican in the district
who would not fccl that there was special
duty resting On him to 80 to the polls ant
make the majority against johnson as over
whelmiug and crushing as possiblr2 And
yet Is not Andrew johnson running by prory
it this dtstsietl Is not the opposing caDdi
date Andrew Johnson's Assessor, one O
+ these who, as Aleck Randall declares, ri
eating the Presidents bread and buttcrs p
Is not every vote po1]el for Wallace a yot
rolled fo7 Andrew johnson, Just as dstinctl
Us II the Presidents name were On the ticke
instead Of that Of Wallace? And will no
every vote for Judd, and for Increasing hi
majority orer Wallace, be give
as directly against johnson an
