THE COUNTY TICKET.

The County Convention, on Tuesday, was
not as harmonious as we could have wish
ed-six of the delegates having Withdrawn
for the alleged reason that they could NOT
obtain what they perceived to be their
Irights-the nomination of certain men for
certain Offices. For the sake of harmony.
if for nothing else, we sincerely wish that
all could have been pleased with the nomi-
nations. But they are not. Still we be-
lieve majority Of the people will support
them. While We say that the men, in all IT,
stances, ara not our FIRST choice, we are fEee
to admit that it is a good ticket. The can
didatss are from among the people-mostly
farmers-honest, faithful and capable men.
]. R. Swallow, of Emporia, is the nomi-
nee for County Treasurer. Almost every
citizen of the county is acquainted with
him. The convention could not have Sc
Iected more capable man to fill that impor.
tant office-to take care of the financial in
terests of the county. He is the present
Register of Deeds, and has been Deputy
Treasurer, for the last two years. He is
sober, industrious, and faithful officer; al
ways awake to the interests of the county.
Edward Borton, of Emporia, is the nom
inee for County Clerk. Mr.. Borton has
had charge of that Office for the last two
years, and has filed the office with credit
to himself and honor to the county. He is
as capable man for the Office as could
have been nominated
F. G. Hunt was the unanimous choice of
the Convention for Register of Deeds. He
is resident Of this townships farmer,
and an Industrious, sober and respected cit
izen. AMI is every way qualified for the of
fee to which he has been nominated. He
was candidate for the Office two years ago,
and came within two votes of being nomi-
mated. He consoled himself at that time,
in his defeat, by saying goodbye giz-
zard,' but this time has succeeded.
W. H. Nickel. of Waterloo, the man
that came so near being elected as an indie
pendent candidate, two years ago, for Sher-
if, is the nominee for that office this time.
He is farmer, keeps hotel-he knows how,
too-is postmaster, and always has town
lot or watch to trade. He is a useful, up
right citizen-is popular in his manners,
and is just the man to make good ST. .e
This nomination is good one, az = 49,
is no reason why he should rot ~ o,oa.es
Ross Thomas, of Pile :. 49,
for County Assessor. Mr.. Thomas ia a
among our oldest and best citi
zens' ana II Elected will make good and
laitn!ul officer. No one for a moment
doubts his competency and his thorough
fitness for the office.

e. 3. Kirkendall, of Pike, was nominal
for County Surveyor. So far as W
know, Mr.. Kirkendall is good Surveyor
D We know him to be good man, so far a
: private worth is concerned. His occupa
ton is that of farmer, we believe. Thi
8 nomination is also good one.
7 w. B. Davis, of Fremont, Thomas Stan
ley, of Americas, and A. J. Andrews, g
$ Jackson, were nominated for County Com
missioners. These are the most importan
offices of the county. They are the peo
pies guardians, and should be composed c
0 our best men. We believe the nominees t
= be such. Mr.. Davis has been for sometim
one of our County Commissioners, and il
that capacity has given general satisfaction
With Davis Stanley and Andrews for Coun
/, ty Commissioners, the interests of on
: county would be looked after with zeal
. Gus eye.
d D. w. Appleby, of Waterloo. was nomi
n mated for Coroner. Mr.. Appleby is stead
d sound minded farmer, and is just the ma
: for Coroner. ...r..-...
y Taken altogether. the ticket is as good a
. could have been made. The men, if elect
i, ed, will all work for the best interests of th
people of the county. lals'Ea "#
