Il. NJ. La Toilette.

The more time elapSes and the more
deliberate thought Republicans of all
shades of opinions are enabled to give
the subject, the more thoroughly they
are becoming convinced that the nomi-
nation of r. Nj. La Toilette by the Re-
publican Congressional Convention was
one OF the strongest, rs it was one of
the best, that could have been made.
UncoDtaminated by association with old
political demagogues, his honesty of
purpose and his personal integrity I'M
challenged and unquestioned, his great
ability acknowledged by his bitterest
political enemies, who arc striving to
accomplish his defeat in the interests of
the trce-trade Democratic party, the
Republican party of this Congressional
District have in Mr.. La Toilette cam
cidate of whom they are Justly proud,
and whom they will elect by rousing,
old-time majority in November. As
brilliant in oratory and in his great
mental powers as was Henry Clay at
the same age, he will bring honor to
this district, to the State, and to the
Republican party, in the halls of Con
gress.
The following sensible review of the
situation is taken from the Wisconsin
State journal:
Indications point with unerring GER
tainty to the redemption of the Third
Congressional District this fall. The
troubles of two years ago are all quoted
the sores are all healed, and the forces
are pulling strongly together and work
ing efficiently to achl, victory. The
nomination of Robert y. Ia Toilette is
received with much faW all parts of
the district, and the flien,.s of the other
candidates for the nomination are doing
gallant service for their successful rival.
There is no bad feeling and the party is
completely united. In such a condition
of affairs there is no fear of failure.
The record Of Mr.. Jones. the Demo
cratic nominee. in the support of the
Morrison tariff bill, shows him to be in
full accord with the most ultra free
trade men of the country. This bill
was only claimed by the leaders to be a
step in the direction of free trade. The
Democrat. Mr.. Jones home organ, adj
mits that the Morrison bill did not 90
far enough to suit it. nor far enough to
suit Mr.. Jones, but it was as far as was
deemed iudicious. This tendency in
the direction of free trade. and deter
mined opposition to protection of home
industries, does not suit the people of
the Third district; they are not willing
to send n man entertaining the extreme
views of Carlisle. Morrison, Wattcrson,
Villas, and their followers, to represent
them in Congress They find that Mr..
La Toilette is sound on this great ques-
ton of the tariff; that he believes in
fostering The industries Of this country.
in preference TO those of England; that
he will truly represent the views Of the
great masses of the people Of the district
on this as well as on other economic
questions. and they propose to work
and vote for Robert n. In Toilette.
The people also find that Mr. La Toilette
is an able man; a fluent speaker; hard
worker; and that he possesses a charac-
ter for integrity above suspicion or
reproaeh The more he becomes known
the better he is liked. and the more
enthusiastic the Republicans become in
his favor The strongest assurances
come up from every county in the dis
trict that the party is fully aroused,
and will east its entire vote ut the next
election, and that the Republican voters.
with many Democratic voters, viii cast
their ballots in favor of Mr. La Toilette
for Congress. This is the present out
look in the district, and no doubt is
entertained, but the feeling in favor OF
Republicanism will increase with each
day till the 4th of November, at which
time the Republican candidate for Con
gress in the Third District will be tri.
umphautly elected; and that the blight
cast upon the District two years ago
will be blotled out
