CONGRESSIONAL TICKETS MADE
UP,


two parties are all in the field; and the
people are now called upon to examine
well the qualifications of the men placed
before them for representatives In the
National Legislature, and, by their votes
In November, decide who shall serve
them. The merits OF the several candi-
dates have been referred to In these
columns, as they have been presented;
but a brief glance at them again, can do
no harm.
In the First District, the Republicans
have re-nominated Hon. Charles G.
Williams, whose record in the present
Congress is eminently satisfactory to
them. Mr.. Williams has had experience
in Legislation both at home and in the
National Legislature is q man of mark
ed ability, and a most eloquent and eff
fective public speaker. His service in
Congress is valuable, and his people will
try him two years more. His opponent
is Hon. n. D. Fratt, quiet man, who
makes a good candidate, but would be
an inefficient representative of that in
telligent district In Congress.
In the Second District, Hon. l.. B.
Caswel, a sound, able and true Repubh-
can substantial business man ; an ex-
cellent citizen, and gentleman highly
respected by all who know him,-is the
Republican candidate. His election over
his willy opponent, Hon. A. G. Cook,
who never fails to get nomination from
his party when there is no show for an
election, is almost matter of certainty
In the Third District, Hon. Henry s.
Magoon, native Badger, an educated,
dignifed and able man, is the Republic
an candidate; man of experience and
culture; one who would rank in Con
gress from the start, among the first
men of the nation. His opponent, Hon.
Chas. r. Thompson, is man of very
moderate ability, with vaulting ambi-
ton one who left the Republican party
because he (no one else,), thought his
greatness was not fully appreciated by
that organization. In other words, he
failed to get all the Offices he desired,
though he doubtless received more than
he deserved. He possesses none of the
qualities essential to make an efficient
Congressman. This the people of
his district know, and will send Mr..
Magoon as their representative
| In the Fourth District, Hon Harrison
Ludington, is put forth as an independ-
ent candidate. and will probably receive
| the support of all who's oppose the cleo
ton of Mr.. Rindskopf. If the people
| of that district show proper respect
| for themselves, and do what common
sense would dictate, the election of Mr..
Ludington cannot be doubtful. He
would be q representative of the me-
| tropolitan district of the State, in whom
| the people might take pride. He
| knows their wants, and has the ability
| to present them to the attention of Con-
gross with efficiency; and to secure
needed legislation. of Rindskopf, we
need not speak. He is known.
In the Fifth District, as we announced
yesterday, the Republicans have placed
in the field, Col. John Cochrane, a
true representative of the agricultural
| interests of the State; man Of age and
| experience; one who is able, capable,
faithful and honest. He should receive
a triumphant election, over his Bourbon
opponent, Hon. S. d. Burchard, a young
man of generous impulses, a rollicking,
| jolly fellow, whose hours at Washington
would be spent in having a good time
with the b'hoys, rather than in looking
after the interests Of his agricultural
constituents. Col. Cochrane would at
| tend best to the real interests of the dis
trict. Hon. M. K1mball, an active and
| successful business man one who at
tends thoroughly to all matters entrust-
| ed to him ; q man Of ability, energy and
great personal popularity, and one whose
| sympathies are naturally with the mas
ses Of the people, is the Republican
candidate. He is opposed by that in
| veterate Bourbon, Gabe Bouck, who
prides himself in being odd; has no
sympathy WIN any class NOT enough
even with the ladies, to marry-is over
| bearing and naughty; dictatorial and
abusive in his nature long time rail
| way lawyer, and a man of strong preju-
dices. As between these men there
should be no hesitation in making a
choice Mr.. Kimball would be most
| efficient and honest representative. His
election is deemed quite certain.
Hon Jerry M. Rusk is on the course
for reelection in the 7th district. He
has proved himself a very intelligent
and influential member Of Congress; al
ways in place and always right !; popular
| at home and in Congress !; his people
will not deprive themselves OF the valll-
able services, by putting into his place
d. @. Fulton, a dealer III tax titles, and
a specJllator generally, without ability,
that fits him for the position. No; this
would be asking too much. Gen. Rs1sl,
viii count his majority by thousands.
In the Eighth District, the Republic
ans are also fortunate in having candi-
| date in whom the whole people have i'm
plicit confidence, IN the person of Hon.
Alex. S. McDill. He has been tried in
many important positions, and has new
or boau f0iIn1 WANTING He is able eff
fcient, honest, experienced and faithful.
Judge Cate, his opponent, is now on the
bench, where he viii be allowed to re-
main SO far as the election of Congress
man is concerned. DR.. McDi1 has an
easy road to travel, and a sure thing at
the polls.
We have thus glanced at the candi
dates for Congress. Independent OF
principles; considering them simply as
men, the Republican candidates are very
much superior to their opponents, IN
ability, character and experience. The
right kind of work will surely give the
