COL DAVIS.
10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Aug. 28-The writer Is in no sense
politician, and has no az nor tool Of any kind
to grind In what he may say. But he hopes he Is
patriot, in some sense, and is sure he is selfish,
ut least in a general way. Being such, he has a
word to say touching our next member OF
Congress. I am somewhat old man,
and have long watched the course
OF members. Furthermore, have no personal
acquaintance with Col. Davis, our present motn-
ber, so thnt believe us nearly disinter-.
ested as mnn can well be. I WAS formerly q
constituent OF E. B. Washburue, and he became
about my ideal of n member Of Congress. 1t
seems TO me that Col Davis is very much like
him In his otlicial character. Can We fluid II mAu
not believe uny one ever did more for his cou-
stlrucnts during his first term than he hns done.
OF course VIZ all wish our member to be Il man
OF mark and influence in Congress. but how few
can make themselves known or have any iutlu-
ence during Il first session, or make any I'M
preston. But he has done 3d. and think we
Hny feel proud Of him. OF course others may
be us good rs he, make ns good and useful neul-
bers for us as he hus been. but VIC do not know
them; they have not been proved.
He hns served us so in the various measures
which We are interested, and which he has we'll
studied and Advocated that 1t seems to me we
owe him something. and hope that my fellow
constituents will feel disposed to join me in
helping to return him aguin with even q strong
er vote than he had before. Our own self-inter-
est and tho good OF the country at large arc in
harmony In this. WARD TWELVE.
