What tho Press Thinks Of It.

From the Dubuque Times.
| Judge Granger is unquestionably
one of the purest men in the State
No word of suspicion has ever been
brcathed against him, and the conf
dcncc of the people of his Judicial
District in his thorough honesty of
purpose is unbounded. AS a Judge
he is very popular; as a lawyer repu-
ted well read and talented; as man
courteous and kindly; as speaker
torciblc and convincing. 4 man
more worthy for the place for which
he is selected could not be found,
and that he will be elected triumph
antly there can be no question.
From the West Union Gazette.
The Convention did Il wise and no
bic act, and one that will receive 4
cordial endorsement of the people.
1t was wise in that it will meet the
hearty concurrence Of those seeking
true, honest and faithful men to serve
III places of public trust; and noble
because the position was unsought
by Mr.. Granger, and was therefore a
free and voluntary solicitation on the
part of the Office for the man. We
have frequently expressed in these
columns our admiration for Mr..
Granger, urging his nomination sole
ly for the public good, and in the in
tcrest of our party. 1t would be
needless to express the fact that we
are pleased with the result; but must
congratulate the hosts Of good
friends of Mr.. G. in this county that
their choice for Congressman is the
choice of the Republicans Of the Dis
trict.
From Clcrmont Peoples Paper.
1t is with no small degree of pleas
ure and pride that we to-day place at
the head of our columns the name OF
Hon. {. 4. Granger, of Allamakec
county, as the candidate the Repub-
lican Convention has placed before
the people Of this District for their
sutfrages at the coming election.
Never in our experience in the
State Of Iowa, have we seen the good
doctrine, "Lct the Office seek the
man, and not the man the Office
more beautifully and thoroughly it,
Illustrated, than the bestowment of the
nomination upon Mr.. Granger.
We believe the great question, "Is
he honest? Is he capable? can in
this case, be most cmphatically and
truthtully answered in the affirmative;
and, believing that in his hands, as
our Representative, the material i'll
terests of the people Of our District,
and Of the nation, will be emincntly
safe, we do not hesitate to announce
the pleasure end willingness with
which We shall yield him the sup
port we are able to afford.
From the DEBORAH Republican.
The general feeling of the Conven-
ton, after the nomination had been
made, was that it will command the
heartiest respect of the people of the
district, irrespective of party 1t is a
case in which the office has sought
the man and found one, honest, able
and worthy. 1t is a strong nominal
ton in every respect;-strong in the
personal purity of the candidate;-
strong in the fact that it is in perfect
keeping with the avowed policy of
the party in Iowa which demands
upright men for office; strong III
the union and harmony it will create
in every section of the district;
strong, because it will rally to its
support many Republicans who have
almost or quite thrown off their allie
gance to the party; strong, because
the opposition cannot nominate a
man who has deeper sympathy
with the people; strong, because it
will win hundreds of votes from the
opposition; and strong because it
is a recognition Of sectional rights,
such a. never has been before given
in the District. 1t is the duty of all
Republicans, and doubtless will be
their pleasure, to go to work and en-
dorse this nomination with an cleo
ton.
From the New Hampton Courier.
Hon. G. Z. Granger received the
nomination for Congress in the
third district yesterday on the 10th
ballot. We rejoice that the Rcpub-
licans of the third district have Sc
lectcd so able and pure man as
Judge Granger. While we regret
that we must lose him from the
bench, and protest against his leav-
ing it until his new official duties
shall compel, we bcspeak for him
the hearty support of every true man
irrespective Of party.
From the Delhi Monitor
Every person, republican or anti
monop, can support such Il man and
feel that the interest of the third dis
trict will he truly represented. There
is nothing in his record that his own
people are ashamed of and for which
apologies will have to be made. He
is Il straightforward, honest, reliable
and capable man, and will be elected
by rousing ma jority.
From the Manchester Press.
1t gives us great pleasure to place
at the heal of our columns the name
of Hon. G. T. Granger, of Waukon,
Alamakcc county, as the Republican
nominee for Congress. We believe
that III selecting him for the position,
the convention have made the very
best selection possible, and that the
nomination will be tremendously
ratified by the people of the district,
and that he will he elected in Octo-
Der next by larger majority than
could have been secured by any
other man. He was brave soldier
during the late war, and several of
our citizens served in the same regi-
ment with him, and speak Of him in
the highest terms. He was appoint
ed District Attorney by the Govern
or, and filled the position so accept
ably. that at the expiration of his
term he was elected to the position
without any opposition. lie was
afterwards elected to the office of
Circuit Judge, which he now holds
ny the unanimous voice of the Dis
