THE BELFAST REPRESENTATIVE.

The people Of Belfast who have the inter-
csts Of the city really at heart, will be glad
to know that the republicans of Belfast are
seriously considering the question whether
Belfast should not be properly represented
nj Augusta this winter. Recognizing the
fact that our city. with her growing import
ance, should have on the floor of the house
at Augusta n man of brains and integrity.
they propose, especially the young and ac-
tive portion of the republican party. TO so
control their caucus rs to produce that result.
We learn that they will ignore the stupid cry
Of usage. and unite upon William G. Mar
Shall Esq. rs their candidate. Mr.. Mar
shall is an educated and intelligent gentle
man, u ready dcbater, of large business eX-
pcricnce. and the most unsulicd reputation.
He would ABLY represent our city, take care
of its local interests. and command the re-
spcct of his associates. While we differ rs
widely from Mr.. Marshall politically as we do
from Mr. ". p. Hartman. or any other mem
Der of that party, we recognize the need of
Nh Malshalls abilities in the care of our
local interests, and we know. as does every
voter in Belfast, how little there is in this
respect to be relied upon in Mr.. Hartman
The democrats will nominate an unobicction-
able man, and if the republicans do the
same, the interests Of Belfast, in railroad
and other matters, will be taken care Of
whichever prevails
