Lorain County's Candidate
for Congress.
We take pleasure in announcing, by au
thority, that Hon. VIM. A. Braman, OF
Elyria, O., isa candidate for nomination
by the Republicans OF this congressional
district as ,heii representative in the next
congress Of the United States.
Mr.. Braman was born and raised in Lo-
rain county, aud he has been so long and
so favorably known TO our citizens with
out regard to party, as to make any ex-
tended notice on our part unnecessary
For over thirty years he has been a
staunch, earnest and consistent Republi-
can. During all this time he has been
upon the right side of every public ques-
ton and, what Is OF still more Importance,
| he has never been q trimmer. He has at
all times had the courage to advocate
sound measures and honest principles, un-
| Influenced by considerations OF personal
ambition. He has been jealous temper
apce man, but has believed that the real,
permanent interests OF temperance could
and would be promoted only by the sue
cess and by the legislation Of the Repub-
lican party. No one has given a more
hearty support to all the great Republican
measures that have been adopted and so
successfully carried forward by the Re-
publican party since the war of the rebel.
lion. Mr.. Braman was sound on all ques-
tions OF reconstruction and upon all the
great financial measures that were adopt
ed TO restore the credit Of the government.
And he has cordially approved Of the Re
publican policy which has since been pur-
sued to give us an honest, sufficient and
stable currency. He has favored liberal
pension laws, believing that the pledges
which we made TO our patriotic soldiers
should be honestly and literally kept.
He has always been In favor Of the pro-
tectiye tariff of the Republican party, and
is in favor Of building up, enlarging and
multiplying our home industries. He be-
lieves IN the Mckinley bill and Is In favor
of giving 1t fair trial, aod II amendments
should finally become necessary, he would
believe that they very much better be
made by Republican friends than by Dem
ocratic enemies In short, W. A. Braman
is Republican, and always has been one;
and be thinks that our government very
much better be In the hands Of men like
President Harrison, James e. Blaine,
VIM. Mckinley, Tom Reed and John
Sherman, than in the hands Of such neu
as Grover Cleveland, Ben Hill, Cal Brice,
of York state, James Campbell, Of Ohio,
and Senator Mills, Of Texas.
Mr.. Braman formerly served The people
Of Lorain county 20 their entire satisiac.
tion and to his own credit, for two terms
as county treasurer. Since the organiza-
tlon Of the savings bank Of Elyria, he has
been one Of It's directors, and lie Is now
vice. e-president of that most conservative
and successful banking institution.
For several years he was president Of
the Lorain County agricultural society,
and he has always taken an
active interest in all matters Of agri-
culture. We know Of no man TO whom
he farmers OF this congressional district
