Member of Congress.

IN this district as fOllOWS. W AIIe Inc
sketches are reasonably fair, it may be
well enough to remember that the Re
publican is laboring earnestly to secure
the nomination Of Mr.. Miner, of Rich
land county, and therefore, naturally, is
not disposed to bring out the claims and
merits of other candidates on the Re
publican side SO strongly as it might
under other circumstances. We pub
lish the article merely that our readers
may deposited as who are talked of for
the nominations:
The Republican at this time sub
mits brief sketches of gentlemen who
are known to be willing to represent
the Third District in the next Congress.
1t is pleased to add, that in the selec-
ton of either Of them--Republican
or Democrat-the District would not
suffer by comparison of ability or up
Brightness with the average of Congress
men.
On the Republican side, Grant coun-
ty furnishes three aspirants: Geo. G.
Hazelton, John G. Clark and j. C..
Holloway. Rfohland.counfyp people are so
we'll acquainted with Mr.. Hazelton that
The Republican need say nothing.
Mr.. Clark is a lawyer, and an old res
ident of Grant, repeatedly the recip--
lent Of public favor; was Provost Mar
shall for this District and Colonel in the
Union army; he is a man of good
ability and unquestioned integrity.
Mr.. Holloway is in his second term as
State Senator, and was previously Mem
Der of Assembly. No representative
has been more industrious or faithful.
He is a banker and manufacturer, was
once farmer, and is man of careful
and conservative judgment.
Iowa county has also three willing
subjects: John HI. Vivian, drug gist
and politician, jealous, energetic, and
honest; was a Surgeon in the army.
Francis Little, farmer and probably
Granger; has served two terms in the
State Senate with conspicuous fidelity
to his constituents: wacthful, shrewd
and of fair ability. L. w. Joiner,
farmer, twice member Of the State
Senate-once representing in part
Richland county; very good man and
worthy.
La Fayette county will probably Of
fer with his knowledge and consent,
the name of Henry s. Magoon. law
yer, scholar and gentleman. What
more can be said? Notwithstan ding
his service as professor Of belles-lettres
in the Nashville University, (ses Leg.
islative Manuals, } he will in time over
come the careful attention to diction
for which he is now noted, and would
if sent to Congress, be creditable rep.
resentatiye. AS a State Senator, he
displayed more ability than tact.
If there are aspirants in Green OF
Crawford. they have not yet held up
their hands. AS stated in The Re-
| publican of week before last, the name
Of James ii. Miner, of Rlchland, will
be presented to the convention
The claims of Richland county, and
Mr.. Miners qualifications, were also
then set forth.
Now for the Reformers, or Demo
ocrats, who have been named by their
party friends.
Nelson Dewey, Noah Virgin, and
Charles G. Rodolph, of Grant county,
Elk Governor Dewey is an able man
whose devotion to democracy has won
for him an enthusiastic following. Mr..
Virgin long held Office as Republican,
and Liberalized at a bad time; is a
miller, good citizen, and able. Mr..
Rodolf is we'll and favorably known
to the people of Richland county, hay
ing served them in the AS emily and
Senate; he has good, active mind, un-
usually keen tact, and a noble heart.
His nomination by the Reformers would
be a good card, carrying their straight
vote, the entire German vote, and a
large Conservative element.
Iowa county has two able persons
Judge Cothern and VIM. 7. Henry.
Judge Cothern is we'll known to Richland
county people. Mr.. Henry is bank
er-keen, cautious, and consistent in
the several relations of life:
La Fayette has at least three am
bilious Reformers--Philo A. Orion. H,
Ii. Gray and Allen Warden. Mr.. Or
ton has been county Judge, and is said
to be an able lawyer and a very good
man. Mr.. Gray has been State Sena-
tor and is shrewd, Gale ulating, able
man. We believe he is land owner.
Mr.. Warden was the Liberal candi-
date for Congress two years ago, and is
known by everybody as "the honest
miller who wants free trade and--an
Office
Geo. Ell. King and G. F. Thomp-
son OF Green county would serve the
people. Next to Mr.. Potter, Mr.. King
is the hero of Liberalism in that county,
and deserves favor of his party friends.
Mr. Thompson is a keen, sagacious
gentleman, whose physique would car
ny him through any crowd.
The names of John Lawler and Will
liam butcher, greet US from Crawford.
Mr.. Lawler is the largest of the crowd
the largest financially, physically,
and may be mentally. IF he really
wants the nomination none of them
will dare stand before him. He is the
2epresen tative of railroads in this part
of the State, and heretofore has known
no reverse. Mr.. butcher is a lawyer
and nan tlaman morthu of fair rannm,,
