convention to nominate "membor
of Congress" from the Ninth Dis
trict. 1t is somewhat earlier than
heretofore, for various reasons, the
chief of which is that it will require
some time to show up completely
the record of Republicanism in the
Ninth District, and to thoroughly
ventillate the inside history, the
moving causes and collateral in
fucnces, which have made the cleo
ton of Il Republican possible in
this end Of the State. All this will
require time, and then the other par
ty may conclude to put up IL candi-
date and it will probably take time
to follow him through all his tor
tuous gyrations, and get him prop
crly focused before the public gaze.
We don't know who he will be, and
care very little, for we expect to NOM
mate Il man who "has never belong
