The denomination Of Congressman

and deserved recognition of his capa-

public duties. The convention was not
only united but cordial and decisive in
it's endorsement of Mr.. Hedge and the
policies OF the republican administra-
ton. Hon. Sam Clark's nominating
speech was an oratorical gem. and the
good things he said about Mr.. Hedge
met with the heartiest approval. There
is no mistaking the attitude of the re-
publicans of the First district toward
their nominee: it is one OF sincere good
will and mistaken confidence in his
ability and readiness to serve them and
a conscientious endeavor to fulfill their
expectations OF a representative Mr.
Hedge has every reason for gratifica-
tion at the hearty. spontaneous en-
dorsement he has received at the hands
OF his constituents and the latter re-
ciprocate the qualification in their CON
seriousness that they have a capable
and worthy representative at Wash
ington who will. care for the interests
|! of the district and the state and fulfil
every obligation OF a legislator and
l3public servant. The district Will mani
fest its confidence and appreciation BY
giving Mr.. Hedge an increased major
lily in November.
