Mr. W. G. Glasgow, of La Grange, La
Grange County, Ind, who was nominated yes.
terday at Kendallville, Ind, as tho Republican
candidate for Congress from the Twelfth Dis
trict, is young attorney OF more than or
dinary legal ability, and an orator whose elo.
quence and logic In the courtroom or on the
stump never fails to command the admiration
and respect OF the most fastidious. Mr.. Glas.
cow settled In La Grange during tho war OF
the rebellion--having Just graduated from tho
Law University ut Ann Harbor, Mich.-and
hung ont his shinglo as an "attorney.at-
and industrious habits soon won him
many.friends, and, consequently, more legal
business than he could attend to. In short
j. D. Ferrall, and, several years afterward,
with Joseph d. Wade, esq, whose oldest
daughter Mr.. Glasgow subsequently married.
Mr.. Glasgow has always been identified with
the Republican cause, and not q campaign
passes that he does not devote more or less of
his time to canyassing the comfy and district
in Its behalf. He is also an enthusiast on the
temperance question, but never lets that sub
ject interfere with his Republican principles.
on the stump Mr.. Glasgow reminds the writer
OF the 'silver Tongued Hoosier Orator" "
"Billy" Williams, who on two occasions had
the pleasure Of defeating the present Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, Judge Robert
Lowry, for the same position, and there are
good reasons for believing that Mr.. Glasgow
Will meet with eQual success.
