A Man for Representative.

Editor Republican.— The time is drafting near when the Republicans will be called upon to stlect a candidate for Representative -for this district. • 7l ' Indiana is to be the battle ground upon which th 6 greatest political battle of modern times is to be fought. This year of all others both parties will select candidates whosehibiiiiy and strength is unquestioned. And it behooves the Republicans to select a champion who has the courage and ability to enter the lists against any man the opposition may select. To our mind no better man can be found than David L. Bishopp, of Kentland. Others there are who would. make a good representative and who would make a good individual canvass but we know of no man who would and could do more good, solid work for the whole Republican ticket than he. The opposition caunot name a man who is his equal as a speaker, nor can they name a man who is his superior in all that goes to make a good representative. Thoroughly honest, he would do his duty. Of good judgment he would make no mistakes. If the party desires to favor those who have labored the hardest for its success, then Mr. Bishopp deserves recognition. Every campaign since he has been in the state he has stumped his county in the interest of the Republican candidates. In 1882 and 1884 he filled a large number of appointments at the request of the State Central Committee. He has proved himself a strong speaker and a hard worker. And as this is the year we want just such men as candidates we believe it to be to the best interest of the party to nominate him. If nominated he will make a brilliant campaign; if elected, a careful, wise and eloquent Legislator.
