The Coming Election.

IQc OOAAAuS H2CNsAV
Three weeks from Tuesday next, the
voters of Marshall county will be cailee
upon to elect county officers for the mex
txo years.
Among the Offices to be filed this Sal
are some of vital importance to our coun
ty, and voters should see that mono bu
true and tried men are elected to ill such
Offices. None but Unconditional Union
msn--such as 60 the whole length in sup
porting the Government and tho Admins
tr.tiou-should ever be allowed to fill
any responsible official position il Mashall
county. None will doubt but that va
have plenty of such men, and men too
who have been tried. a.r ..
For Representative man should be &C.
leetcd Of experience and ability; one whose
integrity is undoub,ed, and who will rep
resen. the interest of the entire county and
not one particular locality to the prejuice
Of others.
The Offices Of Sheriff, Treasurer, Clerk,
Recorder, and Assessor, are important
ones and should be filed by competent
msn. Some of the present incumbents
will be candidates for reelection, and
their claims should have due consideration.
They have been faithful officers, and are
all meu of undsubed honesty and loyalty,
and their pas, experience qualities them for
their respective positions. In new coun'
try like this where unusual care is requir-
ed in the discharge Of public duties in Or
der to avoid ennless litigation over blunders
committed by incompetent officers, it is
The part Of wisdom to make as few changes
sspossible.
As set no move has been made toward
holding Convention, and from what We
can learn there will be none, and as there
will probably be a number Of candidates
for each Office, i. becomes the duty Of the
voters Of Marshall County to elect men
wbo will discharge their duties With credit
to themselves and honor to the county.
Our personal ambition is to record, when
the election is over, that for every Office
We have the right man in the right place.
