The McCook tribune., 1892-07-01
OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-.

The Tribune man has felt that
some times the republican party
has not put its best man on its
tickets and has voted for them un-
der a strong protest. But SO fan
this year the party has acted wise
ly. Last fall it did and won be-
cause of the excellency of county
ticket. The people care more for
good, honest and capable men than
for party lines. The national con-
vention gave the party courage
and the country confidence by
nominating a true and tried man
for president. The congressional
convention acted upon the same
idea of duty and chose a man for
candidate against whom nothing
can be truthfully said as regards
his honesty of purpose, purity of
morals, intellectual ability or phys
ical energy.
The Tribune has frequently urg-
ed the nomination Of Prof. W. B..
Andreys and is gratified beyond
measure that the convention chose
SO wisely. His nomination was
brought about by an almost spon-
taneous movement of the voters in
the party. The many able men
who were spoken of in connection
with the nomination are entirely
satisfied and all will work in har-
mony to secure his election in
November.
The issue will be fought out upon
the merits and qualifications of the
candidates and the policy and
measures of the parties which they
represent. The campaign bids
fair to be one Of rare interest and
clean methods. The voters will
decide which candidate can best
and most successfully serve in con-
gress.
nl Prof Andrews the people will
find a young man Of extraordinary
ability as speaker and thinker;
a gentleman fully able to repre-
sent them in that high position;
man liberal in his views but strong
in his convictions of what is right
and best.
From a poor boy on a farm he
worked his way through college
and climbed to a position among
educators that one may we'll feel
proud of, and he owes it all to his
own courage and determination
and nothing to favoring fortune.
The arduous work he had to do
as boy on farm and the great
labor to be done to earn his way
through the schools, puts him in
full sympathy with the people.
His time has been devoted to men
tai improvement rather than the
accumulation Of wealth, and now,
poor man in worldly
goods, he is we'll equipped for ser
vice to his fellow men and rich in
mind and heart.
In this respect his life is an ex-
ample to every boy on the farm
and in town and it is impossible
to believe that the people of this
district will fail to appreciate this
fact and bestow upon him the re-
ward Of merit. Every young voter
at least, whether on the farm OR
in the city, ought to take
pride in casting his ballot for one
who has thus won his way to promi-
nence and thus appreciate such en-
ergy and ability.
The voters Of every party ac-
knowledge Prof. Andrews pre-em-
inent fitness for the place and, as
we said the other day, only the bit
terness of partisan prejudice can
OF will cause to vote against him,
whether they are democrats or in
dependents. Even those who do
vote against him will in their
hearts wish and hope for his sue
cess, such being the universal es-
teem in which men of his charac-
ter are held, for his election will
be an inspiration to the young men
