HON. THOS. c. McRAE.

Thursday the Democratic congress- ional convention of the Third distric { met at Philadelphia, and unanimous ly re-nominated Hon Thos C. McRae as tue standard bearer of the party. We were present and never saw more enthusiasm nor stronger evidences of the personal popularity of any man given than WAS shown Our Tom, although he was absent attending his official duties at Washington, during the long canvass of Mir. Barker against him and did not make a speech in the district. all the coun- ties save two, Bradley and Drew, in- structed for hlm. This was victo- " and vindication of which any man should feel proud, and Mir. Acltae showed his gratitude by actions as we'll as words in his speech accepting the nomination, just after it was ten dered him. It is not necessary to hero refer to McRae's splended roc ord in congress.
 Below we give some clippings of the press which speak for them selves and show the high estimation in which he is held.
 Hon. Thos. C. NcRae spent few hours in the city yesterday on his re. turn to Washington, D. C. He was called home two weeks ago by sick ness in his family at Prescott and ar rived in time to help the boys in Ne vada with two rousing campaign speeches just before the election On this account the union labor lead. CTS are disposed to hold him respon- sible for their reduced majority 1T their stronghold. To add still mort to the brilliant young congressman cause for rejoicing on election day his lovely wife presented him with q bouncing baby boy, whom he vii train up in the good old democratic WAYS.
 Mir. McRae was nominated for re- election to congress at Arkadelphls Wednesday, after a warm contest with Hon. D. E. Barker, president oi the state senate. He hopes to re- turn to Arkansas about October l and will make a vigorous canvass oI his district. His opponent is Hon. John A. Ansley editor of the Dis patch, and also resident of Pres. colt, and the widest union labor ad. vocate in all Arkansas. As Col. Eagle boiled 5000 votes over Norwood for governor in that dis trict, Mr. McRae is not much dis turbed IS to the probable result of his own race, but he will make q thorough CANVASS. nevertheless. Mir McRae is hurrying back to Wash ington in order to be in his place when the bills to regulate the trusts come up in the house next week. Mr. McRae is himself in robust health, and splendid fighting trim. He is the youngest member of the Arkansas delegation; but the state has never had more efficient repre- sentative.-L. R, Gazette.
 The re-nomination of Hon. T. C. McRae by the Democrats of the Third district yesterday like the renomination of Judge Rogers, was a compliment most worthily bestowed. Mir. McRse has shown all the good qualities of the model representative. We'll informed on all questions, q close student, dilligent, faithful and honest he deserves the confidence of ais conctituents.- Little Rock Dem ocrat.
 The convention now over, the Inde- pendent takes great pleasure in hoist ing at Its masthead the name of MT. McRae and will until the polls close on the first Tuesday in November, do all it can to insure for him asplendid victory. He has made most zeal ous. faithful and able representative and his reelection will be a just trib- ute to one who has at all times worked for the best interests of his pc ople. - Texsrkana Inde pendent.
