Senator II. +. Andrews and Repre-
sentative A. l.. Brooks will go to Des
Mones the latter part of next week
few days in advance of the converting
of the legislature in order to cultivate
acquaintance and post themselves upon
the qualifications Of men asking for
positions. Audubon county will be
ably represented In the cath General
Assembly. Mr.. Andrews Is lawyer Of
long and honorable residence in the
county, of superior ability, and will
rank high among the membership OF
the senate. lie has well defined and
matured ideas upon questions OF pub
lie policy, and is withal a man of equit-
able and we'll balanced mind, We con-
iiently predict that he will represent
Audubon, Guthrie and Dallas county
very credtably, and with faithfulness
to every constituent. DR., Brooks, our
representative, will rank well anywhere,
and among the members of the lower
house will be rs popular in short
time rs he is ut home. A very agree
able man TO meet, he is always cordial.
ly received, and such favorable impress
sion grows with acquaintance. In pri.
vate life he has attained that eminence
which has come rs the reward, Of in
dustry and application, and no will
bring the same qualities of success TO
the position for which the people have
chosen him. The Doctor never made
but one speech In his life, and that
his speech of acceptance OF the nomina.
tion--was q winner. Whether in the
coming session he will take part In the
debates on the floor may not be prophe.
sled, but certain IL Is that in party
counsels and In the promotion Of the
best measures he will WELD an inau-
encc. The Doctor is republican who
will never compromise the principles of
the party, upon which he Is thoroughly
posted but will always act In q manner
that will do honor to the party and the
district he represents. A man Of quick
perceptions and intuitions, no emery.
ency will find him unprepared to act as
he believes right. Audubon county
will be honored at Des Mones In the
| coming session.
