"a. Coming Election.

- x;,h new allies, old issues, and old
,,;,s, nicely hid and concealed from view.
ns. !. Is the sane old party, led in Des
Names county by the same leaders. If
her .hould steal march will it not be
,,,mpe,ed al over the country as reac-
soo--. triumph Of popular sovereignty
saf that pro-slavery is gaining favor in
Low. True they have made no issue-put
forward no principle-yet should victory
,.,ch on their banner, it would at once be
ballad q an administration triumph-as an
evidence Of the restoration, in this State, to
popular favor, Of the traitors who bloAted
ont The compromise line.
The men We present as candidates, have
nd forth true to the instincts Of Freedom
y we'll as those Of patriotism. They are
GOD men and true. capable of filling cred
inbly to Des Moiues County, the several
oSces for which they have been named.
Contrast il with the ticket presented
~ the other party. Their ticket is head
edby the present incumbent as a candi-
date far reelection to the important Office
Of county Judge Under the fimsy pre-
tense Of carrying into effect the prohihito-
n law, he is now swapping your county
ia debt Of several thousand dollars.
But for all this don't take our say so, but
refer to his own statement which was pub
lished in our daily paper of last week, and
will opp ar in the same weekly with this.
In addition to the amount already in course
oferpendidutre for county Jail aud other
necessary urposes, are you willing that
Judge Wightman shall expend two or
three or four thousand dollars of your
money in Quixotic Demonstration against
r0hbition?
Ileis seeking to make this law of the
land odious aud unpopular, by needlessly
drowning away your money. Butte screer
hiuseif from richly merited rebukc, ant
general contempt, he is saying to temper
succ men, al voted for the law, have dom
what considered my duty in carrying i
into effect in good faith, and to the en-
emies Of the law, al always knew it woult
be unpopuar--I was always opposed t,
the county Grocery feature. But the!
would have probibitory law. They have
g.it and the county must foot the bill!'
The people of the county will decide anc
decide correctly, how far this double deal
ing is consistent with judicial dignity, ant
how far they are willing to have the coun
yso into the liquor trade.
On our part We present man, THoM
NW, NEWMAN, who will, if elected, car
rou, this law, as we'll as every other law
according to its letter and its spirit, withou
Tear, favor or affection.
forthe several county Offices we present
sacket entirely worthy of the confidence
md support Of every tax payer. The
Hseut Recorder and Treasurer Mr.. CuAp
NAN, although but some six months in Of
hoo, has demonstrated his capability and
worth.
Mr. Garrett isa candidate for re-elec
ton to the Sheriffalty. He is favorably
Known throughout the county. No better
oacer has ever filed the station, and nj
oeaer one is likely soon to be found
Equally well qualified are the other two
ssasemen for the places for which they are
named.
Inc ticket We presen. is good one
