The Eighth District.
MuSsey telegraphs from Washington thest
paragraphs about congressional matters il
the Eighth congressional district:
There will no doubt be quite a littl,
shindy over the nomination in the Fifteenth
district, but il is in the Eighth that the ole
scratch will be to pay. If there isn't som,
hair pulling and fur flying in that district
am mistaken. and the tremendous row a
the last convention will probably b,
eclipSed. About ten candidates are already
at work tramping the SprOuting crops O
that garden district. Some curiosity is fel
as 10 whom Colonel Charles GrOce, of Pick
away, will throw his influence for. Unde
the circumstances that delegation will be
power in the convention.
i 1t is said that in the former campaign il
the district as now constituted. he was
Kennedy man originally. and that if Ken
nedy had stayed in the field Pickaway'
vote would have been given him.
The eighth district has a small regimen
of leading republicans with claims" on IN,
party. There is Kennedy. with his gavel
Lawrence, with his ram; West, with his el
oquence, and Cowgirl, with his Payne re
port; Bushnell. with his campaign record
Keifer, with his grievance; Locke, Wilson
and EiChelberger. with their character anC
services, and a dozen more, any one o
whom is of high repute, ability and reputa
ton.
They had better draw lots.
The following is from Gen. BQyptOn
who is still, it appears, a bitter enemy tt
Gen. Kefer:
There will be lively scramble for tn,
republican nomination in the Eighth dis
trict, composed of the counties of Logan
Champaign, Clark and Madison. Keifer il
rearing his ambitious head again. Tn,
other candidates are General A. 5. Bush
nell, chairman of the republican state com
mittee; eX-Speaker Cowgirl. General Ken
nedy, Judge West, G.. VI. Eichelbarger anc
Messrs. Locke and Wilson, of Madison
county. There Inay be few more VIII,
have not been heard from.
There is 4 general and kindly feelinl
that the nomination should be rendered t,
General Bushnell if he desires it. There /.
no question about his ability and fitness
There are few more popular men in Ohio
The only person who is disposed to figh
Bushnell is Keifer, whose claims TO tn,
honor are feeble enough to be petrifed.
