Thad. G. Pound is the standard
bearer in the Eighth District. He
will be the next Representative from
that district, and viii make good
one.
From the Stevens Point Jonrnall
In selecting Mr. Pound we think
the convention acted wisely, and that
he will be elected, we hardly entertain
doubt The District ought to give
him at least 1000 majority, especially
against Mr.. Cate,
From the Portage Register.l

Pound is the nominee. He received
"A votes to L for I. Stevenson. Mr..

good public speaker and an active
canvasser. He will leave Judge

jority.
from the Taylor County STAR
At the Republican Convention, held
at Chippewa Falls, Sept. 5th, Hon.
Thad. G. Pound received the nomina-
ton for member Of Congress. The Sc
lection is wise one, and the Republi-
cans of the district will be unanimous
in their support Of Mr.. Pound.
From the Iarinette (Oconto Coz Eagle.l
Hon. Thaddeus G. Pound, the nom
inee, has filed important offices Of
public trust within the gift of the peo-
pie of his own section and of the state,
and has filed them well. Heis clear
headed, sagacious man, and will make
an excellent representative for the dis
trict, There is no doubt of his cleo
ton. We predict that Gov. Pound
will be elected by at least 2, 500 major
ity.
From the Oconto Reporter.l
For reasons which we gave, we con-
sidered that this part of the district
was entitled to representation, but
we are willing to acquiese in the de-
cision of the majority and will unhesi-
tatingly support Mr.. Pound. He is
we'll known to the people Of the whole
state, having occupied the Lieut. Gov
errors chair, and is q man who is
thoroughly conversant with public
affairs, as his past record has shown.
He will be a worthy representative of
the district.
[From the Polk County Pressl
We have known Thad. Pound for
ten years, and have every reason to
believe that he will make an energetic
and faithful member Of Congress. He
has long been prominent manufacture
er in the Chippewa Valley, and isg gen.
orally and favorably known among our
Ilumbermen. He was for several years
member Of the assembly from his
district, and served one term as Lieu
tenant Governor of the State. We
believe that he can be elected by big
maj GRITTY.
From the F ond du Lac Commonwealth
The Congressional Convention in the
Eighth District met on the 9TH, at
Chippewa Falls, and nominated Hon.
Thad G. Pound for Congress. His
only competitor was Isaac Stevenson,
both unexceptionable men. Mr..
Pound received "a to Il on the first
vote, and was declared regularly nomi-
mated on the informal ballot. He is a
man Of sterling worth, we'll known to
the people Of the State from his ser
vices in the legislature, and if the peo-
pie of the Eighth District are not
binder than bats they will elect him
by an immense majority.
TFrom the Milwaukee Sentinel
The nominee is gentleman of large
experience in public affairs, having
served several years in the State Leg
islature, and having been lieutenant
governor for one term. He possesses
more than average ability, and is
thoroughly identified with the inter
ests of all parts of his district. The
opposing candidate is Hon. George W.
Cate, who was re-nominated by the
Democratic Convention that met at
Grand Rapids on Wednesday, The
manner IN which he procured his seat
in the present Congress is alone suf-
fcient reason why he should be repu-
dated by the people of the Eighth
District, but there are other consider
ations in abundance which it will be
our duty to present from time to time.
We have great confidence that Gov.
Pound will carry the district by l.
500.

vention for the 8th District, which
