MR. ZIMMEuMAN’S CANDIDACY.

With the brightening prospects for democracy in the tenth district several prominant democrats are coming to the front as candidates for congress, one of whom is our distinguished and honorable fellow townsman Senator Zimmerman. He is not a stranger to the democracy of the district as he led the first charge toward the overthrow of the republican majority in 1888, when he accepted the congressiono al nomination with a hopeless race Two years later, vitii the hope of democratic success possible, Mr. Zimmerman modestly submitted his candidacy to the convention and stood loyally by a uominee, whose party services and political worth had never been hmrd of. Two years ago the Jb ulton county democracy urged the nomination of their car didate but again met defeat by a majority of one and then gaveth? notniaee the strongest, party vote of any county n the district. They did all of this because they are the right kind of democrats and because they take pride in showing the district that they admire Senator Zimmerman’s loyally to democratic principles, his political worth and his well proven legislative ability bv following his sturdv leadership iu the cause of equal and exact iustioe to all men. They believe he will make one of the most effective and i fluential congressmen the district ever had and will urge his nomination for these substantial reasons.

As for Mr. Zimmerman, he goes in the race this time to win. He will make an earnest, thorough and honorable canvass of every county in the district and the Sen* titifil asks for liis meritorious ola ms a careful consider tion at the hands of an apprecia’ive democracy. Give him a trial in die race and, our word for it, there will be no regrets ror having rewarded mffrit. True to his puriy, tru • to his principles, true, to his triends and true to the interests of his district Mr. Zimmerman deserves the nomination and his permanent popularity at home proves hat lie will g r ow stronger and stronger in the estimation of the people of the dist ict as they learn more of his Heal f r public welfare and of his magnanimous disposition to champion the right wherever it may be found.—Rochester Sentinel.
