Burchard Favored To Represent New Fifth District
The Carroll County Mirror notes a Polo meeting on the 25th to nominate a congressman for the new fifth district comprising Jo Daviess Ogle Carroll Whiteside and Stephenson counties. It lauds Hon. H. C. Burchard as a capable, honest choice with strong influence in the House and committee on Ways and Means. The paper aligns with tariff moderation and revenue needs while supporting Burchard against radical free trade. It cites party endorsements and cautions against objecting voices within the district.
