JUDGE NooNAN's CAMPAIGN

PreSse fuer IeNas, sept. u, "a:
1t cannot do any harm to draw
attention to the fact that the can
didacy Of the 10Th Congressional
district was rendered to Judge Geo
III. Noonan unanimously. All dele
gates at the San Antonio cOnVen-
ton had received instructions to
vote for Judge Noonan. The only
question was: Will he accept the
same? Judge Noonan has accepted
the nomination with self.denying
devotion to the party, whose duty
it now is to elect him.
That this can only be done by
Just means is we'll understood.
The candidate is too much a man
OF honor, away from all trickery
and schemes, to lend his hand or
give his consent to any act or plan
that would not stand the severest
and most impartial criticism.
The opposite party may please
itself in making misrepresenta-
lions and personal attacks, used in
the various election maneuvers,
which can be allowed and excused
by an easy stretching conscience.
But on the part of the Noonan
campaign nothing Of the kind will
be found. 1t is an appeal to sound
and healthy common sense, and to
a certain independence in politics,
which calls for action, when
we see that our best interests are
trodden under foot by a party
without necessity, but only to fol-
low a wrong principle. In this sense
the campaign for the Republican
for Congress will be
carried in ION accordance with this
all his campaign speeches will be
made, and with this in view every
one who has the welfare of his
country at heart should do his part
during the campaign and his duty
at the ballot box.
Judge Noonan is not and never
was a bitter.partism, he is moder-
ite in his views, every one who
Knows him is aware of the fact,
hat he belongs to the Republican
)arty, because he acknowledged it
IS the party which serves the inter.
sts and welfare of the American
,eople best, and which will pro- ,
note the esteem and respect of the ,
anne abroad to the fullest extent. ,
In being elected, Judge Noonan
will not only be the representa- ,
i've of his district and its inhabi- .
ants, whether Republican, DEM :
'crat or Populist, he will aid in :
he promotion of all measures in :
rational legislation that may re- ,
er to the eXten sive domains of ,
his state and it's benefits. He ,
will not, like many members of ,
congress seek advantages or in ,
iuential positions for himself, but !
will aim with his full power to
obtain the greatest advantages for !
his constituency, and for his state,
md serve them in the most liber- i
Il and unselfish manner, in al
ways considering the greatest bene- ,
its for the largest number. ,
If ever the Nativists and foreign
laters should raise their heads in .
he national legislative halls, it
will not need any assurance that
lie will energetically oppose them.
Our candidate depends in this
upon the good, sound
common sense and judgment of the
citizens Of the district he leaves it {
o them to decide whether a DEM
'crat, Populist, or Republican
whose principles are laid down in
lnmistakable language is best
qualified to represent them in Con-
,ress.
After the many experiences DUR
ng these long years the answer
hould not be difficult: Let us fol-
ow the example of the Louisiana
ugar planters, and throw of the
,arty yoke. Let us not stultify
'urselvesito party slaves in going
Igainst our own better judgment,
md on election day vote for GEO.
Il. NOONAN.
