The Ninth District.

The large and prosperous section of tins
State comprised IN the Ninth district
could have no better representative IN
Congress than Hon. JOHN A. BUCHANAN.
He is in full sympathy with the people
knows their resources, capabilities, and as
pirations. and has the vigor and intelli-
gence TO speak for them on the hustings
and in the House He is q man TO be
trusted, and in his legislative life here IN
Richmond and at Washington, made and
merited a reputation for fearlessness IN
the discharge of duty.
Mr.. MuLs. who is opposing Mr. BUcH-
ASAN. has no political claims upon the
voters of the Ninth district. 1t IS impos-
sible for him to understand the people as
MIR. BUCHANAN does it would be equally
impossible for him 10 perform the repre-
sentative duties OF which MIR. BUCHANAN
is capable. Measured by ability to serve
the constituency all comparisons must be
vastly 10 the advantage of our nominee,
and IN no conceivable way can we imagine
how Mr. MILIs's service in the House
could be as profitable to the district
as Mr.. BUCHANAN's. This is the view
our southwestern friends will no doubt
take.
When force bills are discussed Mr..
BUCHANAN is the man to represent Nir'
einians. When agricultural interests are
involved he is found to be thoroughly IN
formed and truly sympathetic. So with
the great mineral interests of the South
west. and with all other questions likely
TO engage congressional attention.
He ranks high in the House. He chal'
lenged the admiration of both sides wher
he discussed the bankruptcy bill, and he
, gave q turn 10 that measure which will be
found of great value 10 farmers when the
hill becomes law. as it probably Will II
the course of few months.
Mr.. BUCHANAN will be reelected. and II
should be by ighly-complimentary ma
tnrfty
