In able TO find some satisfaction Il
the election Of Capt. Thistlewood, al
though II did its level best for Capt
Brush. II says in its issue of this
week:
"At the election last Saturday Capt
IN b. Thistlewood OF Cairo, was
|chosen 10 represent this the Twenty
fifth district. in the lower house OF
congress during the remainder of the
term for which Hon. George w.
Smith was elected III November 1906.
The Herald extends Capt Thistle
wood its heartiest congratulations.
Had ii not been that our own fellow
citizen, Capt. Sam T. Brush, We're a
candidate, Capt. Thistlewood would
have been close to our first choice;
and had he declared himself In favor
of the temperance reform, he would
have stood first on the list even
though we have condemned, do now
condemn and shall always condemn,
the nsurption of the rights of the Re
publican party by any faction, combi-
nation or committee.
The editor of the Herald discoy-
cred Capt Thistlewood as congress
sional candidate twenty years ago,
Ia the utmost Of his ability advocated
he nomination of that gentleman.
That was back In 1883. and at that
time he possessed every qualification
re possesses now He was a soldier,
nut was defeated for nomination by q
cuts queer capers.
so far as 1t may be possible,
Capt. Thistlewood will well and faith
ulfy represent this district. An old
soldier has received modicum OF the
and reward he earned on
he battlefield and as an intelligent
md working member OF the Republi-
an party. The gang that usurped the |
light to say whom the Republican
Iarty Of the Twenty.fifth district shall |
ote for has been taught its lesson
md viii not forget it. The temper
nee reform movement has not been
Iefeated-the work will go forward |
mtil the country shall become as free
rom intemperanee as it is from slav
ry and poIygamy.
Therefore, the election of Capt. |
is matter for cOngratu
alton. and the Herald extends its best |
wishes for Capt. Thistlewood' politi
al success"

Two years ago the zoo management
