il. as is generally understood,
candidate for reelection TO the
position be 50 worthy fills.
He simply follows the prece-
dent lie asks for himself and
his friends ask for him only that
which has been invariably grant
ed to his predecessors. Hereford,
Kenna aud Snyder had each three
terms. Shall Anderson have less !
| do not think there is any proba-
bil;ty that the Democratic party
as constituted in the Third Dis
trict will show that kind of par
TALLY.
The fight that Anderson made
in the contest with McGinnis was
made more for his party than for
himself and at great expense and
pecunisry sacrifice. In 1888 he
ran ahead Of the ticket in the
district and caEried it, although it
was lost by Cleveland and Elem
ing on the poll books. In 1890
his M iori'y Was more than 500
larger than that OF Lucas for the
Supreme bench in the counties.
composing tie Third District and
yet Luca- received thefull Demo-
cratic vote. 1t cannot, therefore,
he claimed that the past has dems
onstrated any want of availability
as candidate before the people
upon The part of Mr.. Anderson.
On the contrary, he has proven
in both candidates. that he is
close 10 the hearts Of the people
Of tbe district.
Every member must serve his
apprenticeship in the House OF
Representatives before he con
-hepe4tobe usefall. We al knew
that it is The old, and not the new,
members t1at are The leaders aud
possessors of influence; that one
great reason why the North and
East have been able to have legis-
slation in their interests is because
the spirit of rotation does not eS-
| ist.in those sections as it does in
the Sonth and West. Anderson
has served his apprenticeship. He
can be more useful to Us now than
he has been. 1t is within my
knowledge that he has the e3a-
| fidence and respect Of his fellow
members, and that they speak Of
| him il, terms of respect and praise
Knowing him, / also know that
] he is gentlemaa- every inch OF
4 him, that he possesses a big heart
and a big brain, that he is not to
be spoiled ly good fortune nor un-
duly depressed by bad, that he
| has never caught disease that
soEe have not escaped which is
popularity known as 'swell-head,"
! that he is kind to is friends and
not unforgiying to his enemies.
he has great amiability Of charac-
ter, steadfastness f purpose, SUR
dy honesty, and his lips do not
utter what his heart refuses to feel
He was born and bred a Demo-
crat, and his convictions have on
/ lv been strengthened by investi-
CATION and study. He is Demo-
crat for reasons and not from
preiu ice, and he is for his party
for the good that it can do for the
people.
His resolution calling for the
appointment of committee to
Investigate the frauds in the pen
sion cite anu ..le discussion to
) which it has given rise have
brought him into nattapal notice,
and his selection as clerk Of the
Den ocrs 4 & caucus testifies to the
rare esteeh in which he is held.
In conclusion, nothing more
need be said than that in every
position OF life IN which he has
been placed, both public ard pri-
sate, lie has shown himself to be
a genuine, and not an imitation,
