we COPY the IOiiONlHS ColAPiiANAA
notices of the Republican nominee for Repre-
sentative in Congress in the first Congress
sionaI district, from Pennsylvania papers,
where General Sypher is well known:
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
The Republicans of the First district OF
Louisiana have given General j. II. Sypher
a unanimous denomination for the uneXI lred
term of the Forty-second Congress, and also
for the Forty-third Congress. General
Sypher. during his public service, has de-
voted himself earnestly to the development
of the industrial resources OF his dlstrlct,
proving himself a friend OF commerce, IN
ternal improvements, and protection TO
home interests. The freetraders, in their
efforts to remove the duty from sugar, were
thwarted by him, a service which was OF
immense value to the sugar growers OF
Louisiana. The solid men of his district
have therefore come forward and adopted
him as their Representative. and resolved
TO stand by him until the measures he advo-
Gates are secured. Louisiana can do nothing
better for herself than to send to the Nation
al Congress staunch and uncompromlsing
advocates of protection. Like Pennsylvania,
all her interests are bound up i'll the success
of her great industries.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The unanimous denomination of General
J. H. Svpher. by the Republicans OF the
First Congressional District of LOUISIANA
speaks well for their confidence III Their
REPRESENTATIVE. and their earnest support
of those home interests to which General
Svpher is SO thoroughly pledged. 1t viii be
remembered that at the last session OF Con
qress the election III this district was de
cIared invalid. and the seat is therefore
vacant. General Sypher is again nominated
both for the unexpired term OF the Forty
| second Congress- and also for the Forty
| third Congress. Louisiana is largely inter
| ested in the protection of her sugar erol
| from foreign competition. and more so now
than ever. when she is just struggling t
establish herself upon the basis OF the new ,
| order of things under emancipation. Int
Republican candidate Is well known as
thorouqbgoing. outspoken and intelligen

Republican party. and his return to Con

General j. II. Sypher, of the First Cor
gressioual District of Louisiana, who's
Claims to a seat in the present Congress
were declared invalid, has been again nom
mated for the place by the Republicans q
his district. He is supposed to possess a
| element OF popularity III tnc LAY 'h''o y.
a jealous advocate of the protective policy
which the planters of Louisiana are d'
cidedly favorable to, SO far as respects ST
car, one of the great staples of their Stat'
1t would, of course, be fine feather IN Nj
Sypher's cap if he could induce Congress t
increase the duty on sugar, thereby taxn
the whole people of the United States, sa
Two or three cents more on every pound
sweetening they consume. in order that tn
money might 60 into the pockets OF his COZ
stituents. to enable them to compete wit
the foreign sugar growers, who threaten
ruin us by supplying us with cheap suga
Nevertheless we hope Mr.. Sypher will |
elected. for he is true on the recognized an
real issues between Republicanism an
sham Democracy, and there is no dang'
that his influence will be sufficiently powe
full to induce Congress to place hlgh'
duty on sugar than is required for the pu
poses of revenue.
The efforts of General Sypher to prevel
y reduction of the tariff on sugar, d
much to defeat his claims to seat III Il
House of Representatives, and this positi'
he lost because he unfinchingly advocate
the interests of his constituents engaged
