AT The election nent November,

ionsi district, will be called upon 10
elect successor TO the Hon. John
A. Asderson, In congress, whess

10 beheoves the Republicans Of the
9th district, In advance Of the nom-
mating conventios. which will be

pies TO victory. There should be ne
division Of opinion. no pickering, Nc
petty qusrrels, nothing to endanger
the success Of the ticket, and with
that end In view, de>ire In this
brief article to present the name Of
one Of Salinas honored citizens for
the place. No attempt will be made
In this connection to east . rtfiec.
tiou upon the character Of the dis
tinguished gentleman who has
served the district 90 ereditably for
fourteen years. but Il must be sd-
mitted that there are indications
Of discord 10 the party ranks 10
the name OF a new man IL not pro-
posed. Believing, therefore, that
the doctrines OF the Republican
party should prevail and that union
and harmony are required In order
that success may lie attained, I de-
sire 10 present the name Of q new
candidate, one not heretofore nen-
toned In this connection. Before
doing so, however, it may not be
out Of place TO say hat "in accord
auce with the eternal fitness of
thiugs" the next congressman from
the nth district should he q citizen
Of Saline county aud should register
after his name In the eOngres, ional
directory, ~ his Residence the werd
"Salina." l propose therefore the
name Of Hon. Charles =. Martin, at
present chief clerk OF the lower
mouse Of the National congress, rs
the Republican candidate for con-
gress from this district, at the next
election. Mr.. Martin H. pTeeuIu-
eutly qualified To fill this important
and honorable position. His long
residence I'm Kansas aud Saline
county, enables him to fully under
stand aud appreciate tue wants Of
the district, and his general ac-
quaintance 10 the district In addI-
ton to his well known capability In
public affairs leave no doubt In my
mind that he IL the strongest mau
that could be suggested. MIR. Mar
thus Republication has never been
questioned. He has been q party
worker and served his country in
the hour Of peril, well and faithfully.
His qualifications are beyond ques-
ton.
The signs Of the times Indicate
that In the near future all legisla-
ton, both state aud national, must
be framed In the lntesest Of and in-
ure TO the benefit Of the producers Of
the wealth Of the country. The
farmers all over the land are be-
coming aroused and are fully alive
10 the situation aud subterfuge aud
demagogy must be relegateG 10 the
rear. The Republican party is not
unmindful OF these things and In
the interest Of good government aud
prosperity, men should be elected
to office who uude rstRnd and Rympa-
thiEs with the agricultural eOutin-
gent nf the country. let the Re-
publleans Of the nth district agree
on Mr.. Martin, who can better unite
the discOrdant factions Of the party
than any other man.
REPUBLICAN,
