sented by republicans.
TUE THIRTEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The Republican Convention OF Duchess and
Columbia counties have renominated as the Repre-
sentative in Congress General John A. Ketcham.
Mr.. ketcham has represented the same district for
the last four Congresses and has proved himself to
be an able and reliable member. He
was Chairman OF the Committee OF Public
Lands in the present Congress, and IN that
position he was effective in defeating the various
railroad land grabs that were pressed last ses-
sion. Although acting with his party In all i'm
portant measures, Mr.. Ketcham Is by no means
partisan in offensive sense and Is so popular at
home that many leading democrats OF his district
suggest that there shall be no regular democratic
opposition to his election.
THE JUDICIARY TICKET
There are no changes to be noted from last re-
port on the slate for the judiciary nominations.
The campaign is now, however, fairly opened, the
politicians have all resumed harness. and IN the
coming cool and pleasant days OF the FAN the po-
litcal machine will be kept nard at work, turning
out candidates for office by the score.
THE ASSEMBLY AND ALDERMANIC TICKETS.
The full and exhaustive review OF the political
situation IN the HERALD Of lost week, touching the
Assembly and Aldermanic Offices, leaves nothing to
add thereto at present. The political mind however,
Is aroused to the consideration OF the whole qucs
ton OF these nominations and the men who would
aspire to represent the city in the national and
state Legislatures and In municipal 0fices; ana
the HERALD shall, as always heretofore regardless
OF individuals or parties, keep all the candidates
before the eyes OF the electors, that they may be
able to discriminate and Judge for themselves who
are worthy or unworthy OF their SURFACES.
