vile Bee, of Fridsy.l
THE NOMINEE.
1t affords us great pleasure to be able to
that our fellow-townsman, w.
Vaughan, has been nominated by the
Democracy of this District for Congress.
lhr. Vaughan was a Union man during
the war, but since its close has labored
faithfully for the Democratic party. He
has borne its banner through more than
one fierce contest, and planted its flag
upon the battlements OF the enemy. He
has never wavered in his fealty to the
party, but has stood firm when many,
who are now our red-hot Democrats, fall
tered. There is no tincture of Radical
ism about w. W. Vaughan. In nomi-
mating Colonel Vaughan, the Democracy
OF this District have acted wisely. 1t is
but the grateful rev ard for past merito-
rious services rendered to the party by
Colonel Vaughan. The m~agnanimity
shown by the late Confederates in for
getting the past and supporting men who
were Union daring the war was manly.
Their were some who were disposed to
charge upon the Democracy of this State
that they would support no man for office
who was not in the army. The nomina-
ton of Vaughan settles this question.
The nomination of Colonel Vaughan in
suIes Us victory. His name viii add
strength to the party and consolidate all
opposition against Radicalism. Colonel
auRnan Is \ nue. speaker ready OeDdLOrs
and thoroughly posted in politics, and
we know of no man in the District who
will make a more thorough Inc effective
canvass than Colonel Vaughan.
II was but the browning act of justice in
comforting the nomination upon Vaughan.
He has stood by the party and carried its
banner when defeat, disaster and gloom
overspread its folds. In Colonel Vaughan
we have q standard-bearer worthy the
and support of the party. He
is no ordinary man. Though quite young,
has won a reputation that but few men
in the district can boast of, and the Radi-
cal that follows him through this district
will have a hard road 20 travel. We are
hat no better 81 selection could be
made, and shall raise the name of W. W. |
Vaughan to u masthead, and labor
faithfully to secure his election.
To the Democracy Of this district we
would say, be of good cheer, for the gall
liant Vaughan will lead you TO victory. !
You will no longer be misrepresented by
Infamous Smith. The day for the de-
of the Democracy of this district
Is near at hard. be true to yourselves
and your country. Rally to the standard
Of your leader, Vaughan, and all will he
well.
