The deadlock. which has existed In
the balloting for a candidate to sue
coed the late Lorenzo Danford, in the
Republican convention at Martins
Ferry, was broken on the 2s9th ballot
by the nomination of Joseph j, Gill. Of
Jefferson county, and the unanimous
endorsement by the whole convention.
The peace and enthusiasm which fol-
lowed the long struggle. are, as the In,
tellIgencer predicted yesterday. forerun.
ners of the victory in November and
the election of a worthy successor Of an
able predecessor.
Mr.. Gill is in every way fitted to rep
resent the district with credit to him
self and his constituency He stands
firmly on the Ohio Republican plat
form, which is loyal to the country.
sustalns patriotcally the policy Of the
national administration and supports
the son of Ohio, who occupies the Exec
utive chair. and steers safely the ship
Of state. protecting faithfully the hon
or OF the government.
The IntellIgencer does not believe that
there are any feelings growing out of
the contest. but that everybody is pre-
pared to go in for victory. In the
district the campaign will be fought
almost wholly upon national issues,
because the representative to be cho-
sen Will participate in the settlement of
the most vital questions that have been
before the country since the days that
followed the close of the civil war.
This renders the election most import
ant. 1t is for the Presidents state to
say whether his statesmanlike, true
American policy shall be sustained =
not.
