the people to I'LL stations of both honor
and profit, and we believe that he has
always discharged the various duties
imposed upon him, with honor to him.
self and profit to his constituents.
Possessing high qualifications for the
office to which he is nominated, and
being favorite with the people on &C
count of his known probity and strict
honor, there is no doubt of his election
by triumphant majority.
Judge SHANAHnN was re-nominated
for the Office of Judge of Probate, and
it may safely be said that better
nomination could scarcely have been
made. The fact that Mr.. Shanahan
has now discharged the duties of the
office for nearly twenty years, and we
believe with entire satisfaction to all,
shows without word from US that he
possesses superior qualifications for that
place. 1t is position which calls for
the exercise of carefully discriminat-
ing and impartial judgment, and stead
lily attentive and prompt business habits
qualities which Judge Shanahan is
known to possess in an eminent degree.
His denomination is Just tribute to
the faithfulness with which he has dis
charged his official duties, and the ver-
dict of the people, "Well done, good
and faithful servant" will be emphati-
cally expressed through the ballot-box.
The worth and good qualities of our
candidate for County Clerk, CHARLES
G. LEWIS, are testified in his re-nomi-
nation by reclamation. Mr.. L. has full
filled the onerous duties of his office for
the term now drawing to close to the
satisfaction of all, and has won friends
from all classes by his high social aud
manly qualities, of head and heart
Mr.. Lewis will be reelected by an in
creased majority.
The denomination by reclamation Of
ARIEL E. PECK, for the office of Regis
ter, is conceded on all hands to be a
just tribute to good and worthy man
The constant attendance to the duties
of his office during the past four years
the afability toward all, and the viii
lingness to confer favors, together with
his great accuracy in the performance
of the more immediate duties of the
office, have made him popular Regis
ter. Of his reelection there can be nc
doubt.
IRA BROwNELL, our nominee fol
County Treasurer, is man with whom
the people of Cass county may conf
IDENTIFY entrust their money. His integ
rity is unques.ioned, and so is his ca
pacity. Mr.. Brownell is widely known
as strictly honest, accurate and com
petent business man, and has ever beer
faithful and efficient in the various
trusts conGded to his care. He will il
every respect make an excellent off
Ger.
ANDREW J. SMITH was re-nominate(
for the Office Of Prosecuting Attorney
The fact that Mr.. Smith is now in tn,
third term of the office, and the almos
unanimity with which the Conven
tion expressed its preference for hin
over other candidates, equally wei
known, attests the strong hold he ma
upon the confidence and good will o
the people. Mr.. Smith is good Law
yer, an indefatigable worker, accomo
dating and exact in the performance o
the duties of the office, though though
to be little too severe sometimes.
: CHARLES w. CLIsBEE, for Circui
Court Commissioner, was the almos
unanimous choice of the Convention
and is safe and satisfactory nomina
ton. In the term which he now fills
Mr.. Clisbee has won the hearty goo,
will of all classes of people. He is
young man of good talent, proposes
sing appearance and winning presence
and is popular in all parts of the coun
ty. A better nomination for this ofic
could hardly have been made.
Of HARLOW o. BANKS, our cand
date for Surveyor, not having any pei
sonal acquaintance, we cannot speak
I, but his frieuds and neighbors endorse
his fitness and his Republicanism. III
Y will no doubt make good and efficien

by no means the least influential an

both gentlemen and esteemed citizen
and will add strength to the ticket.
