For the Democrat.

Mr. EprToR.-Before another number of the
Democrat is issued, our annual election will have
been held. The excitement all seems to be in refer
ance to Clerk and of the more important Office of
Commissioner, we hear but little said. Why is this
so7 County Commissioners is the most important
ofany that we are at any time called on to FILL
We need men Of good business habits, good judg-
ment-men who have pride enough to study the
law, and who have 6rmness enough to act as their
judgments dictate. Mr.. Hughs, one of the Demo
cratic candidates. nd present incumbent, is proba
blyas we'll qualified for Commissioner; as any
other man in the county. He is we'll posted in
the laws. has good judgment, manages his own
business WELL is heavy tax payer, and the people
without doubt will rc-elect him.
Mr.. Morris, the Republican candidate, against
Mr. Hughs, was before the Republican convention
in 1885, for Auditor. but he had to stand aside and
let the Judge come in. This year In order to keep
him In the traces, they give him the nomination of
Commissioner; as they had no hope OF success.
He don't differ, from ordinary Republicans, only in
few particulars he possesses a larger share ofim
pertnence, and stubbornness than most Of them,
and is reputed 10 be somewhat amorous Mr.. Fran.
cis the Democratic candidate in the second district
is admirably fitted for Commissioner He has been
twice elected trustee in Plymouth, has good bust
ness habits, is a general reader, and talks the
German Language with as much ease as the Eng
! lsh.
| Mr.. Boley is the Republican candidate, in the
second district. we know but little about his bust.
ness qualifications. We are of the opinion howev-
er, that there is something about the man that is
wrong; from the fact thath was beaten last spring
for Trustee. in towr ship mat usually gives from
thirty to thirty-6yc Republican majority. That
