Congressional ''Claims."

We held last week that Scioto County had no
'eaim'' to the candidate for Congress- In addition
to what then sad want to refer to the further
facts that Dan Mcfarland Scioo's candidate for
Congress, held for years the profitable ONCE OF
Assessor of Internal Revenue, and that Hon. w ellis
A. Hutchins sent to Congress from Scioto county
1t true he rather the candidate of the Democ
racy; but he Independent candidate, and
many Republicans in Scioto, and some in other coun-
ties voted for him, thus defeating Mr.. Bundy, of
Jackson County.
What claim has Lawrence County None whatever.
She has Judge of the Supreme Court, had John
Campbell Collector of Internal Revenue for sever
years and has now had the Congressman for three
terms.
Gallia is really represented by Mr.. Neal. He was
born and raised in Gallla County, and Gallia always
goes solid for him. and have it from the most re-
liable that the Galia delegation have no hope
or desire of nominating Mr.. Mccormick, but Will go
for Neal after two ballots. Gallia had Col.
Vance in Congress one term. He was Democrat, 1t
is true for all local purposes he was as true to
interests of Galia County if he had been Re-
publican and the same mny be said of Mr. Hutchins,
to Scoto, when he represented that county.
Adams has no claims as she had a Congressman
for three terms.
Vinton is the only county except jackson which
has any claim yet she does uot expect to get COL
Jones nominated. We have this also, from the best
source in Vinton County.
Well, what 'selam' does jackson County set up !?
Let us see jackson County centrally located, and
the progressive counties in the district
Her great coal fields, just now beginning to be deve-
oped her rapidly increasing population; her large,
certain, reliable Republican majority now running
ND to nearly one thousand-these and other reasons
which might be named, give her great prominence
Jackson County Republicans have always been true
the other counties in the districts whether Con-
gressional Judicial Senatorial. Our county gave
Ply1ey, of vinton for Judge great majority over
DUNCAN, of our county, and she gave Wilson, OF
Adams, 7ss majority Mr.. DUNCAN for Senator,
and she gave Robinson of Scioto great major
ity over Monahan of our county. She gave Cheering
ton of Lawrence, Harper twice, and Thompson once,
her best majorites for Judge Her majorities twice
for Pollard of Adams, for Senator and johnson, Of
Lawrence, for Judge OF tine Supreme COURT, ana IL
son. of Adams, and Neal, of Lawrence each three
times for Congress among her largest majori-
ties.
While thus congratulatiDg the Republicans OF
Jackson County, we do not like refer to the con-
dnct of some Republicans in other counties, when
jackson County presented candidates at least the
equal of candidates in other counties. We would
only ask friends in the other counties to look at
the vote for Judge Tripp for Judge, and Mr. Bundy
for Congress. No better men have ever been candi-
dates for Office in this part of the State.
We cannot close without saying that MIR. Bundy
badly treated. He and is decidedly the abest
and truest who represented this district in
the Congress of the United States. He was Repub-
lcan ten years before the party was organized. He
voted for the repeal of the infamous Black Laws of
Ohio in the Ohio Legislature as far back as the year
1913. His record in Congress is without b1emish.
Because he true to his party, his country, his
conscience and his God, and voted for the Civil
Rights BILL he was defeated for another term and de-
feated, too, by John L. Vance!
The Republicans of this district owe 1t to jackson
