Representative IN Congress.
MONTAGUE COUNTY.
We this week announce w. 0. Davis a.
a candidate for congress- Perhaps there
is no other man in the district so wei
and iavorably known. His phenomena
success has placed him in the front rank.
Of the legal profession, not only in NortE
Texas, but in the state at large. He i.
the acknowledged head of the state sen
: ate in point of legal talent and statesman
ship. His compeers all vie with each
other In bestowing this honor. He is q
man OF sober thought and habits, oil
moral character above reproach, aud
a social disposition always ready to
recognize true manhood in whatever
condition OF life it be found His
professional devotion, his perseverlng
application 10 business has, in measure,
circumscribed his social life and given
his enemies an opportunity TO accuse him
OF wiilful seclusion prompted by mlsan-
thropy. This is senseless twaddle and
amounts to nothing more than forclble
admission Of the fact that his public vir.
tues admit OF no serious attack. Our
people need not be afraid that II he be
elected his time will be wasted in useless
conviviality among the jovial, Jolly and
Joking buns of the bar-room or club
room, or any other place of immoral re-
sort; nor need they fear that be would
bring disgrace upon his constituency by
his Imperial sullenness. - Bowie Cross
