The Frankfort Roundabout

Who Will be the Man?

The people seem to be waking up to the importance of selecting a successor to Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, as Representative of the Ashland District in Congress. Whether Col. Breckinridge shall succeed himself or not, is now the question. There is said to be a widespread desire to see that position filled by some competent gentleman from the west end of the District. The kids are now in the saddle and are disposed to have things their own way. They are weary of dancing attendance upon veteran politicians or soldiers. They begin to manifest a desire to select a man more in sympathy with themselves, who will recognize the fact, if chosen, that he will be debtor to the "boys in the trenches," more than to his own superlative powers; who will not neglect the very large class who have lately become voters. In this connection it may not be amiss to suggest, that among the localities that may be expected to supply material for the contest, Frankfort may be named, and among the number there who might be found serviceable, stands a vigorous lusty fellow who no doubt would feel that a great honor had been conferred upon him, if he were selected as the standard bearer of the Seventh Congressional District. His vigor and comparative youth, together with his raven locks and manly bearing, to say nothing of his intellectual powers, would constitute a rallying point for the young men, who, if reports be true, would soon learn that James Andrew Scott would not be likely to forget or neglect his friends.
