duties Of the Offices the candidates are
nominated to gil, and experience in the
duties they will bc called upon to per-
form.
CHARLES WESTON
IL candidate for County Judge. Mr..
Weston came TO Iowa in ls4l, under
m appointment from President Van
Buren, ~ ATTORNEY GENERAL Of the
Territory Of Iowa. He had his Office
in Burlington. This Office of Attorney
General he filed with signal ability,
and 70 the complete satisfaction Of all
parties until the close Of Van Buren's
administration. His mind and tenn
permanent were always against the pet
tifogging Of small cases and after his
term Of office expired he bought farm
in Rockingham, Scott Co., and gave up
the practice Of the law, for the more
peaceful pursuits Of agriculture. This
farm he still owns. For some years he
has lived in Davenport and rented his
farm. He is dignifed, gentlemanly,
extremely courteous and polite and will
make better County Judge than any
who have flied the Office before him.
His knowledge Of law, his obliging
disposition and friendliness OF manners,
renden him every way superior to his
Republican opponent.
JAMES A. MILLER
Il the candidate for Recorder, and
resides in LeClaire. He is youngerly
man, , splendid penman, obliging in
his manners and accommodating in his
disposition. He is popular at home,
and most highly esteemed elsewhere,
by al who know his many virtues.
He had the misfortune to become a
cripple sometime since, and is compell-
Cd to support himself by the use Of the
pen. No better man can be found for
the Office. The present incumbent
McCosh is very good officer, but is
radical politician, and hates Democracy
without compromise, and has already
been twice elected to the Office. We
trust Mr.. Miller will be elected.
HARVEY LEONARD
IL the candidate for Sheriff, and who
don't know glorious old lIarv What
poor man in distress ever appealed TO
his pocket in vain His benevolencc is
unequalled by that Of any man in
Scott County. Thousands of dollars
have been given away by him, without
selfish motives, or hope of reward.
The poor bless him. The poor execu-
ton debtors rejoice that the sheriff
who executes process upon them is too
humane to Cypress them, and often
pays the execution himself rather than
distress poor family by levying it.
He can serve process without giving
otfense. No lawyer or creditor can
hire Harvey Leonard to Cypress or
unnecessarily annoy a debtor. Such
is his goodness Of heart, that hundreds
in the Republican party will vote for
him out Of personal regard. He don't
''antc6iee. But the people want him
to retain it. They cannot find more
competent or better man to fill it.
His opponent is unpopular in his man
nen, bitter politician, and full o.
personal and party prejudices, and
cannot be elected to the Office of Sher.
Id If the people understand their true
interests and do their duty.
JAMES T. HOGANE
IL our candidate for County Surveyor
and II IL needless for US to say that h
has Won . high reputation for comps
tsncy in his profession, and for affabilit,
Of manner. Nh. Hogane has BEEF
employed = number Of years by larg
numben Of citizens of this County, il
making surveys. drawing plats AM
other labor connected with his profes
mon, and he has always given entir
satisfaction. He is popular among al
who know him and is sterling Dem
ocrat.
FRITZ BAUROSE
Il our candidate for Coroner, and he j
a0enman by birth, but his Language
scarcely betrays his foreign origin. H
i active, sealouA and possessed of
good Judgment He is every way quail
lied for the Office.
Such are the men We present to tn,
citissus Of this County for their sup
