R1soN as O Congressman has been SO Hull
crous and Objectionable that the large
American wards will pile up greater Repub-
ican majorities than ever before. Col.
DAVIS, who commands the First Regiment,
gave an evidence Of his strength and popu-
larity by securing the nomination over sew
eral better-known contestants, and as man
of pluck, energy, and good common-sense
he is in every way preferable to HARRISON,
who has not risen above the level Of the
buHoon since he was elected. DAVIS will not
make himself the laughing-stock OF Congress
and neglect and misrepresent his conshtu-
ents, which is the sum of HAHRIsoN's Con-
gressional record.
The Third District includes the North
Division Of the city, the northern and west
ern portions of Cook County, and all of Lake
County. The candidates are 1oRENz BREN-
TAEo and JOIN V. LIZ MoYNE. This district
has never been anything but Republican,
Notwithstanding ,11r. LIE MoYNE now holds
the seat in Congress. In 1872 MIR. FAR
WELLS majority was 3,740; but two years
ago LIZ MoYSE plucked up courage to try it
again on the assurance that he would get the
German vote, which had been largely alien
ated from the Republican party for the time
being. Notwithstanding the disaffection,
LIZ MoYNE was again beaten, as matter OF
fact, by 1a6 majority for FARwE1I. But his
anxiety to get into Congress did not stop
here. Counting upon the partisanship Of
Democratic majority in the House. he con-
tested the election, and he was admitted
by counting the paupers, idiots, insane,
and non-residents whom GEORGE KIMBERLY
voted for him from the County Poor-House.
Since LIE MoEsE actually got his seat it has
been mystery to everybody why be was
ever thought Of in connection with the
place. He has not been heard of or heard
from, and he was renominated simply be-
cause there Was no available man on the
North Side who would consent to be the
Democratic candidate. Mr. BRENrANo, the
Republican candidate, is a man Of culture
and ability, versed in affairs, student in
political economy, and entirely committed to
Gov. HAYES ideas about reforming the Civil
Service. He will get all the German vote
which left the Republican party two years
ago, and also that large semi-independent
vote Of certain North Side citizens who for
some years past have been conspicuously
devoted to reforms in the public service.
In Lake County, where FARwE1 two years
sgo got only Sc majority, there is reason to
believe that A1r. BRENTANo will receive from
500 to 100 majority. The Indications
hat be will be elected are so
strong, in fact, that the Democrats
within few days have been publishing and
the most desperately absurd false
hoods about his not being able to speak En-
;lish, etc. The people Of his district have
lad abundant proofs of the falsity of these
SO that they are not likely to do
lin much harm.
