Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1874-09-24
HENRY y. MAGOON.
Com iNents Of the Press.

Below we give extracts from some
of our exchanges relative to Hon.
II. S. Magoon's nomination for Con-
gress. The tone of the press indi-
Gates that the nomination is accept
ed with general satisfaction, and that
the nominee will receive hearty
support in all parts Of the district:
The stubborn contest for the Re-
publican nomination in the Third
Congressional District resulted, on
the 18th ballot, in the success of
Hon. Henry S. Magoon, of LaFay-
cite county. The choice is an ex-
cellent one in all respects, and one
on which the unfaltering Repubh-
cans OF the southwestern counties
will not fail to unite with great en-
thusiasm. Mr.. Magoon is not only
very popular man, but n man of
unquestionable fitness for congress-
sional service. He served u term in
the State Senate in 1871 and 1872,
and was one of the most prominent
and useful members OF that body.
His presence in Congress will be
the first instance in our history OF
Wisconsin being represented by a
native OF the state. The determined
struggle which the friends of Mr..
Hazelton made to secure his nomi-
nation is a high compliment to that
gentleman, for whom it is safe to
predict honors commensurate with
his eminent ability and faithful SER
Mittoaukee Sentinel.
We have been intimately acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Magoon since 1861. He
is a warm-hearted, genial, honest
man. lie was born in this State in
1892 He has been through several
high schools and universities, and
was made soldier at Drennon, (Ky.)
Military college in 1881. He once
held professors chair in the Uni
versity of Tennessee; studied law,
and has been practicing in LaFay-
cite county for the past seventeen
years. Aside from serving as dis
trict attorney for two years in that
county, and one term in the State
Senate, he has not been connected
with politics. lie is Il man Of hon
or, and a gentleman of learning and
culture, being popular in his part
OF the district because he Is well
known. He will receive the united
support of the Republican party
irairie du CHEN Union.
We have now the pleasure and
satisfaction of Introducing to the
Republicans of Old Grant as the
standard bearer Of the party and as
the future representative of the Sd
Congressional District, the Hon III.
s. Magoon, of Lafayette county.
Considering his deserved popular
ity, his steadfastness and consist
ency as a Republican, his sympa-
thies with all the efforts of the party
to carry out its patriotic principles
Of administration, his integrity, his
honorable conduct both in public
and private life, we entertain no
doubt of his triumphant election
Grant County Herd|d.
We can assure the party and peo-
PIE of this Congressional District
that their confidence is well be-
slowed. Ii elected Mr. Magoon
will strive to 10 right, looking only
to the full performance of his duty
FOR the best iutegeats of the people,
and to their final impartial judg-
ment for his reward All the IN
terests of the district viii receive
scrupulous attention from him, and
be advanced as rapidly as his abil-
ity, energy and skill can promote
them,-Dariing,on Rspubiican.
The proceedings throughout were
characterized by general good feel
. ing, and the nomination Of Mr..
Magoon will doubtless be ratified Mt
the polls by very large majority,
