Az suggested By This journal last week, pub
hc sentiment appears 10 DO fest crystalising
on the congressional question, In this district.
Kalamazoo county has pronounced for the
Hon. j. G. Burrows, by sending delasation 10
the congressional convention fully instructed
to support him. II IL said that there IVES great
unanimity in the county convention. Below
will be found the resolutions, and the COM
ments Of the Telegraph.
The Benton Harbor Palladium, ~ VAL %
seen, has pronounced for Mr.. Burrows, and tho
Cass County Republican follows suit ana the
prospect now is, that county will send Bur-
rows delegation to the congressional oonven-
ton.
Ii Is understood that st. Joseph county 10
decl dedly pronounced for Mr.. Burrows, while
the appearances are that Berrien county will 90
the same way. The sentiment in this county
is at present divided, with, perhaps, . prepon-
derance in favor OF presenting Van Buren,
county man.
From the Kalamazoo Telegraph, July /.
1t with much pleasure that we announce
the result OF tho Kalamazoo County Convention
this afternoon, and think il done wisely in pre-
sent,pg the name OF Hon. j. &. Burrows rs its
choice for the nomination at the Congressional
Convention OF this District. The Republicans
of this county have expressed their preferences
for Captain Burrows in unmistakable terms,
and this result has been brought about by no
efforts Of his own, or those Of the Telegraph,
as il has said nothing to influence the voters Of
the county. either for or against him. Mr..
Burrows having had the experience OF two SEES
sions in Congress, and having attained in the
councils Of the nation high standing and in
fluence, and possessing as he does energy, in
tegrity, and capabllity, he would represent this
District faithfully and well. He is the most
popular campaign speaker in the State and has
gained national reputation as such, and all
acknowledge that Capt. Burrows has done
noble service for the Republican cause. and has
ever proved true, through victory and defeat
He can make an effective and telling canvas Of
the District, and as all past differences in this
county have been healed (if the action Of this
convention 10 ratified by the District and Capt
Burrows is nomlnated), he will carry Kalamazoo
county and the District by rousing majority.
From the Benton Harbor Palladium. June 80.
In this weeks issue will be found the call for
the Fourth District Congressional Convention,
at Niles, August 9Th. AS yet Berrien county
has put forward no candidate, and upon its bal
lot will largely depend the choice OF the con-
vention. Van Buren, county has two candidates
in the field, neither OF which will receive the
nm al ~ ha Csaa 20
will enter the convention with one candidate,
while st. Joseph and Kalamazoo counties will
unite and bring forward J. q. Burrows, Of Kali
amazoo. While we entertain the greatest re-
spect for both Mr.. Dyckman and Mr.. Clsbee,
in choosing q representative we unhesitatingly
select Mr.. Burrows as the one best fitted to
satisfy the entire district, and who will do honor
to his CO nstituency in the Legislative halls. He
is better known throughout the district than
any other candidate. He has national repu-
tation rs an orator and 10 staunch Republican
wheel horse, tried and true. He has . record
which all may read, and Of which he may well
be proud. It will be said by the friends Of
other candidates that Mr.. Burrows was defeated
two years ago, and that he has enemies in the
h6puDHCSn k80Ab. but IL must DC temokuDoIou
that that WAS the of year in politics when
Democrats always use the plus sign. II Mr..
Burrows is nominated he will receive On over
whelming majority, and In recommending him
to the convention, we believe we are speaking
the minds Of the voters OF Berrien county, and
furthering the best interests Of it's people.
