DR. PHILIP KENNEDY. of Deavertown,
Morgan County, announces himse { as
a candidate for State Senator. The
Doctor is a thorough Republican, and
would make a faithful Representative,
but we believe that q large majority of
the Republican voters of the District,
prefer at this time, to have our present
efficient Senator. Hon. R. NJ Siimson,
renominated.- Noble County Republican,
Of the 2OM.
We do not know as we are spec
tally interested in who the Re-
publican nominee for the State
Senate shall be, but still we will
state shat Mr.. Stimson is not con-
sIdered, IN this community, a man
of any remarkable ability. A short
time since, during the session of
the Legislature, n of our most
prominent citizens was in Colum
bus, and a gentleman asked him
who was the 4Aember of the State
Senate from his district. Not being
a man that paid any special atten-
ton 10 politics, he could not tell
BIN st the time, but afterwards
meeting him, he told him that he
now remembered that StimsOn, of
Marietta. was the Senator IN ques-
ton. "WeIl," says The i%nterroga-
tor, I'm not surprised at your for
getting his name, he don't amount
to much Gnyt1dy."

other thing that it is we'll to bear
in mind. Our opponents, of both

their efforts so far have only work.
