IL has now been about ten years since
the State Senator for this District was
taken from Sandusky County. Huron,
Erie and Ottawa Counties have each
furnished one or more Senators since
then. Sandusky County furnished the
candidate in 1855 and 1857, Gen. R. P.
BycKLAND, who was elected both times.
Since then our County has put forward
no candidate in the nominating Conyen.
tions. In 1859, Hon. F. d. PARISH of
Erie, was elected. In 1851 Hon. JoHN
KELLEY Of Ottawa. In 1868, Hon. F.
W1CKHAM, Of Huron; and in 1865 Hon.
E: B. SADLER of Erie. In the conyen-
ton of 1868 the name of l. @. RAwsoE
of Fremont was proposed, but With
drawn before vote was had, and Mr..
WILckHAM was nominated by acclamR-
ton. In the convention of 1865 the
Sandusky delegation cast compliment
ary vote for Col. EAroS, of Clyde, and
then divided between SADLER and WICK
BAN. Thus, during the past ten years,
Erie County has had the Senator two
terms, and Huron and Ottawa one term
each. If ''turn about is fair play" the
nomination this year should fall to the
lot of Sandusky County, and we trust
The delegates from the other Counties
will see it in this light, and go for the.
