NOMINATION OF B. F. LOAN.

The Republican Congressional Con=
vention met in st. Joseph on Tuesday
last, and done just what we had
hoped Il would do,-nominated that
sterling patriot and Republican, Cen
cral b. r. Loan. for Congress from
this District. It had n duty to per-
form. . responsibility TO meet, and
faithfully and truly it performed
its mission. General Loan is-a man
well and favorably known to the peo-
pie of Andrew, and Northwest Mis-
souri. His services In war and In
peace have endcared him TO them,
aud he holds a high place in their
confidence and affection. He may be
said to be, in truth, a representative
man Of the Republican party; a fit
representative..of its aims, hopes and
aspirations. That is just what the
people want, that is what the country
needs. Theloy masses, joining the
proud memories Of the past with the
NO less proud aspirations for the fu-
ture, will give him such q cordial and
enthusiastic support, as will insure
his election at the polls.
The proceedings of the Convention
reaching US at SO late an hour we

ny chairman, and Is complimented

meut, in preserving good order. Hon.

elected permanent chairman. Mr..
Loan was nominated without oppo.
sition, and without a dissenting voice,
The Herald opposition suocumbed to
the general and unmistakable senti.
ment, and will support Mr.. Loan.
