NC KENNA OR LUTTRELL?

On Tuesday next the voters of this
Cong essional District are to select
Congressman to represent them in the
Lower House of the National Legislature
for two years fiom the 4th Of March,
1877. Hon. j X. Luttrcll, present in
cumtent and candidate for the third
term, is the Democratic nominee. Hon.
Joseph McKcnna, a rising young man
and leader in the last Assembly of this
State, has been put forward by the Re-
Jublicans. If men could only lay aside
party shackles ard political prcjudccs,
Che choice between the two candidates
named would be easy, and we opine
largely in favor of Mckenna, because
when the men are judged by their quail
fcations for the position, he stands far in
advance of his opponent. Few even of
Lutirell's most earnest supporters have
the hardihood 10 claim for HIM superior
legislative ability TO that possessed by
Mr.. McKenna, and to those who have
seen and heard both gentlemen it is evil
dent that the latter would do most hon
or To the position and better represent the
interests of this District. Laying aside
the demagoguery of Luttrel and the
statesmanlke bearing of McKenna, we
appeal 10 the voters of this county to sup
port the Republican nominee on the
ground Of ability alone. All we ask is
that Democrats and Republicans alike
measure the two men, honestly and fairly,
in their own minds and then cast their
b ,llots in favor Of the one whom they
candil!y be i.ve to be the best man to
repre-, ent them in the next Congress.
