We do not see why Duc Ames should not represent the Republican party as its candidate for congress He certainly is as suitable fur its}, honors and would be in as good and regular standing as a host of the party’s adherents at Washington and elsewhere. Very few people in the postofiice department or in the inter- ior department would be entitled to raise u word against him, or to cast upon him the glance of scorn. There ure a goud many unpleasant charges on tile against Ames, but they are trifles compared with what the hushed investigations reveal concern- ing scores of Republicans more emi- nent, but less criticised. We fancy that Doc Ames will give Republicans the scare of their lives We doubt if it will be possible to elect him, but it is very probable that he will get the nomination.
