JOHN A. LOGAN,
Of Illinois. Dbl

We invite the attention of our
readers, especially of those who live
in New Hampshire, to the letter OF
our Manchester, N. H., correspon-
dent, printed herewith. 1t indicates
that all is we'll in the close state OF
New Hampshire; and the firm adj
herence of the people of that state to
the principles of the Republican
party, has been source OF strength
to the party in the other states, often
potent in its character. We note
with pleasure the fact that this letter,
written by one who is in condition to
know whereof he writes, that the Re-
publicans of our native district, and
in which we have always taken deep
interest, is likely to select as their
candidate for Congress, Hon. ]. H..
Gallinger M. D., of Concord, the
present efficient Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, and to
whose determined, unrelenting, self
sacrificing efficiency as such Chair
man, the Republicans were indebted
for the glorious victory they won IN
1881, despite the unpropitious cir
cumstance then existing. AS man,
DR.. Gallinger is everyday qualified
to honor that or any other official
position, and as Republican he Is
as true to principle as the needle te
the pole. In all the country we DC
not know of man who is more de
serving, and at the same time bettel
fitted to be Representative in thu
National Congress, and in common
with his thousands of friends IN TIT
state of New Hampshire, we shall
hail his nomination as harbinger o
sure and certain victory. AT tn
same time from our knowledge O
the politics of New Hampshire, W
are led to believe that the PROPOSE
ton to place in nomination TO
Governor, Mr.. Courier, under exist
ing circumstances, is wise one
one that will tend to harmony an
place in the Chair of State mar
who by his life long devotion to tn
interest of the producing classes, hl
ability, party fealty, and manly char
teristics is entitled to be enrolle
among her chief executives.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1884-08-01

DR.. Gallinger Is a ready. effective
debater, an excellent public speaker,
forcible pungent writer, and re-
markably adroit political leader. He
is in the prime of life, and, largely as
the result of his strictly temperate
habits, enjoys we'll nigh perfect health.
He is a man of strong convictions,
and always has the courage to express
them. He is very popular wherever
he is known, and Is sure, if nominal
ed, to be elected by large majority.
If he shall prove to be the choice OF
the Republicans Of the Second Dis
trict, we feel safe in predicting that
he will not be "wall flower" in the
National House. t srs
Those who know the genial chair
man of the Republican State Com
mittee say that the above extracts
do him simple Justice, and that
no schemer or trades on the part oil
his rivals can prevent his enthusiastic
nomination and election.
In a future letter I will endeavol
to give some idea of the contest over
the successorship to Senator Blair,
but this letter is already so long tina,
it must be brought to an abrupt close.
Trusting to see you on the stump in
New Hampshire in the coming cam
paign, ] am, yours, for Blaine and

fact that the Maine statesman has a
