i HE SIXTH DISTRICT.
The Sigourney News’ Endorsement of
Hon. M. E. Cutts.
It. wiii be se<.n by the call at the head
of this coiumn that it is only four weeks
until the Republican Congressional con.
vention of this—the Gth—district will
meet at Albia, to place in nomination a
caudidatc for congress. It is well known
that we have able men in the district,
men who would make ercditable congress
men, and fill that position honorably, and
to the credit of themselves and their
constituents. But some are better qual
ified than others, and when tho conveu
ticn ineels the very best man should be
selected regardless of personal prefer
ences. Several papers iu the district
have already expressed their choice and
given their reasons therefor. As far as
is known there will be hut three names
before the convention for the honor of
being the republican standard bearer in
this district: lion. J. G. Hutchinson, of
Wapello, Gen. F. M. Drake, of Appa
noose, and lion. M. Jv Cults, of Ma
haska. We are personally acquainted
with the gentlemen named above and
have a high regard for all, but we, like
others, have a choice. They are all gen
tlemen in every particular, and wc cau
support either of them if nominated;
they have all been before the people more
or less, for the past few years in some
way.
Mr. Hutchinson is a resident of Ot
tumwa, is tho younger of the three, and
as yet his acquaintance does not extend
far beyond his county's limits, except he
served last winter in the House of Rep
resentatives from Wapello county, which
gave him some prominence, as he acquit
ted himself creditably. Ho is a good
republican, and ha? many friends where
he is known.
Gen. Drake is well-known in the south
ern portion of the district and is not an
entire stranger to the other portion, as
he canvassed in every county in the dis
trict two years ago. He was a candi
date before the last congressional conveu
vention,but was defeated by Judge Samp
son for the nomination. 110 is good talker,
a sound republican, and if nominated,
would make aD able canvass of the dis
trict.
Mr. Cults is known perhaps,
than either of the other gentlemen, hav
ing been in positions to give him a more
extended acquaintance, not only in lowa,
but in distant States. He served two
terms ia the Legislature from Poweshcik
county and one from Mahaska county.
While a member from Mahaska he made
himself known all over the state by his
memorable tilt with John A. Kasson on
tho capitol bill, Cutis opposing it and
Kasson favoring it. It was said at the
time that Cutts made the ablest speech
ever made in the Legislature. lie was
afterwards honored with the nomination
of Attorney-genera! and was elected by
a large majority. His position as Attor
ney-gCDeral of the great state of lowa,
gave him an opportunity to display his
ability and learning, and he made one of
the best lowa ever had. He is one of
the ablest lawyers in lowa, as is admitted
by all. 110 opened the eyes of some of
the ablest lawyers iu the land when he
appeared before the Supremo Court of
the U. S. at Washington, D. C., and made
his argument for lowa, asserting the
right of the state to control the state
commerce. Cutts added new laurels to
the bar of lowa in that case, in his de
fense of the oeople against the rnonopo
lies. Shortly after Cutts made that ar
gument we were talking with a gentleman
who had heard it, who said it was the
ablest plea he had ever heard before the
supreme court. So if Mr. Cutts gets
the nomination he will not go there a
stranger in u strange laud, but be well
known as an able lawyer and a good de
bater. He is one of the most fluent
talkers in lowa, quick to see a point and
discover his opponent’s weakness, and if
Wcaver or any other man gets ahead of
him he will rise very early in the morn
ing and retire late at night. He is just
the man, in our opinion, the oth district
should send to represent them in con
gress, if they wish to have a congress
man they can point to with pride, and, ot
course, wc all wish that kind of a man
there.
The Rod Oak Express looking over
the political field in the Sixth dis
trict, says: “Tho prospect is that
General Weaver will not feel a bit
lonosomo during tho campaign. From
prosont indications Cutts appears to
bo the coming man. Hois peculiarly
fitted for a scat in Congross in tho
present juncture of affairs; and his
hosts of friends all over lowa, who so
well know the mottle of tho man,
would rejoice to soc him pitted
against tho brigadiors at short range.
Should any blustering bi "g. have tho
temerity to attempt to “sit down” on
the Sixth lowa member ho would
find himself as suddenly and thor
oughly ostonishod as the boy that
unwittingly picked up a bumble boo
by tho business end.”
