Hon. G'lan4a s Il. S.nts.

District for seat in the Senate Re-
luctant to be again candidate, he
yielded only to the unanimous demand
of the representatives from the sever
al counties comprising his district
No more faithful and efficient rep
resentative than Thomas B. Scott ever
held seat in the Senate of this State.
No interest of his constituency has
ever been neglected or betrayed; no
question of public Importance has been
before that body for consideration dur
( ing his long service. upon which his in
| fuence has not been felt, and always
upon the right side No man in that
body has welded larger influence. or
been more universally respected, than
has Senator Scott.
ne are informed that some of the
people of our own county talk of voting
against him for the alleged reasons that
he has been in the Senate long enough
and has accomplished all the good for
US locally that he can and therefore
he should give way to another man, a
resident of another county Having
done more than any other man has
done, or could have done, by means Of
his great personal influence. to bring
about compromise at much less than
fifty cents on the dollar Of the amount
due upon our bonded indebte iness, and
having obtained important legislation
necessary to the accomplishment of that
result, and the great fruits Of these la
bors having been secured to the tax
payers of our county, let Mr.. Scott
stand back, (say these men) for ne,c
man, who has done nothing, who is a
stranger to us, about whom we know
nothing, and who has no interests in
common with US! We do not believe
the people of Wood County capabls of
thus UNANIMOUSLY repudiating their mos
worthy and faithful servants, But lei
the few who are inclined to dispense
with the further services of Senator
Scott remember that soma ST., 900 of
her original railroad bonded debt with
