THE CONGRESSIONAL CANN ASS.
There has been but little apparent in
terest taken by the people of this con-
gressional district in the canvas. for
representative just drawing 10 close.
No speakers of any celebrity have made
addresses. and many Of the old.time pol
iticians on both sides have carefully abb
| stained from taking any part in the
contest. In fact, the canvass has been
made. on the part of the Opposition party,
by Mr.. Hsrtzell himself; and on tho part
of the Republican party by Mr.. Clements
alone. Senator Logan, it is true, made
three speeches in advocacy of Mr., Glenn
ents' claim to reelection, but this is about
all tho outside supper, that gentleman
has received.
In short, the canvas, has been remark
ably quiet. Very little money has been
spent By either party no srousing sp.
pesls to pattissn passions have been made /;
no bitter personalities have been in
dulged in. The candidates have moved
around quietly, shaking bands with the
people, making little speeches to little
crowds, IN little rooms. in which there wa,
little light. Clements has grasped the
horny-handed farmer, and whispered in
his ear: III am thine there is no interest
but yours and please remember that
am the grand chain lighter; tho McCresry
bill defender the advocate OF river i'm
provemcnt tho great apostle of cheap
transportation. Mr.. Hsrlzsll, on his
part has poured into the agricultural ear
the language Of devoted hsyseedism and
into tho car of the general public the wise
words Of the gospel Of constitutional re
publicsnsm. All this HI" been done
quietly.
Therefore, with an unruflod mind
calmly and almost loopily-ccrtsinl J
without thst bias which il almost always
the result of political excitement, We can
look over tho field, and speculate upor
the probable result. of the battle. Mr.
Clements entered the csnva. with a ma
jorlty Of more than ! 100 votes Can MIR
Hsrtzell overcome this majority Ran
dolph county gave to Mr. Clements /
majority over Wall This year it will
give to Mr.. Hsrtzell 800 majority owe
Mr.. Clements, and in the other C, unite
enough TO elect him. This ia tho conclu
sion we have arrived at after a careful
survey Of tho field. And therefore peac
be with Clements and all his friends.

THE Marion Monitor admires Captain
Clements, and wants to sec him reelected
to congress, not by a small majority. but
BY large one, one which cannot be desig-
mated by less number of figures than
four. Among the qualifications which the
Monitor believes Captain Clements
possesses for the office of
congressman, it mentions that Of
bsiDg a good prelimitsrian. We have
struggled with Websiers u Unabridged for
a good half hour, but we can't como up
with "prelmitarian." Webster missed the
word. Therefore, we arc IN doubt as to
what the Monitor means, when il asserts
that Capt. Clements is good ''prelimits-
rian." Perhaps i. meant to say that he is
a good parliamentsrian. But this won't
do; Capt. Clements record in congress,
his river improvement speech, doesn't
entitle him 10 any such distinction. We
are willing to admit that lie is a good, bad
or an indifferent 'prelimitarisn" but a
good parliamentsrian, never.
