VIII tver in beating Us carcass. The pubic

which ate daily booming into Importance, and
Which we bclAivc other men, whose paths IN

There being no principle ihvolvcd In the ques-
ton, why shud Mr.. AsIrtEY he rcnominatcd 2
Ii is asserted that lis experience will be VI val

new to lin rs tn every unc else. Rather would

A. Rnything2 Nothing. Five times they have

| There are Ia our mind no reasons why he
Should be rcnuniinaird- we can state several
why he should not, IND potent ones.

more wig .rm,y than ever, by mon within our
ranks. The fact Is disagrcrnbe one, but II is
nevertheless u Tact, aud shutting our ewes 10 Il
or wrong, his nomination will revive al the old
difficulties In the Ds'ritt, viii rcvivc all the old

Mr.. HALL is n man in whom the nInst impl cit
confidence may be rcpused Politically he has
always been radical Republican. In other
respects he is un2xccWiontblc. Very few men
have dunc m1rr for the Northwest no man hus
its interests more NJ heart lie Is thoroughly
identified with tlis city and this part Of tho
Sia:e. All lie has is here ho has no int rcs,s
elsewhere IN divide his attention or lessen his
efforts. An enthusiastic believer in the Aest
of the Northwest, far.sccing. shrowd busine 5
man. liberal To u fault. auh cntcrpIi ling far be-
yond the average Of men, he would in Congress

the great fin ,ncial questions of the dny totally
free trm even the suspicion of demagopu uety,
and above necessity Of rrnstituting his office
10 his own IN Is, he would make not only use
iul member, hut one of whom his District might
well be proud.
While we shall bow chrcrrnlly tn the decision
of the Convention, aud give its nominee, who
ever he mfy be-, n hearty AMI cordial support,
we earnestly hrI { that Mr.. HALL may be chns-
