Blu, as Il has, however. always been the
custom Of the press to speeds ally note the
quail fcatiOns Of the various candidates, an
omission 90 cur part to do so at the pres,
ent time might lie construed intoa dis
courtesy to the gentlemen composing our
county ticket. Certainly there never was
presented to the people of Will county a
ticket which stood less 10 need Of newspa,
per praise.
The domination OF K. j. Hammond for
Circuit CLERK was one eminently ft to be
made. We have known Mr.. Hammond
personally and intimately for more than
twenty years. and can therefore voucn for
bis qualifications and fitness for the res
ponsible Office for which be il a candidate.

right or left to do wrong. Wb,ls his ousl>
ifcations and attainments are Of high or.

unOstentatious. He is sound and relia-
bic Democrat, and has always been. but

Samuel E. Math4r, the nominee for
Sheriff, is one Of the most intelligent and
worthy farmers Of the county. He has re.
sided 10 the county over twenty years, and
consequently is no stranger to the peorle
He is one of our most sterling and -eIiahle
men hoLHst and faultless as q business

works ensrgetica!ly for his PARTY, at the

and the people of the county will fnG thai
he will make popular, efficient and COM
potent sheriff OF one thing the public
may rely, be will always be found at hi
post and ready to attend to their bust
ness.
! Oar nominee for Coroner, Eugene DAILY
is also one Of our oldest and most excel.
lent citizens. From long acquaintance
! with him, we can recommend him as 6
man of the strictest integrity. The Office
OF Coroner is not very desirable to the
pOssessor, but neverthe css is one of res
/ possibility and great importance to tn,
/ people. |: is therefore desirable that al
! honest, upright uan shou!i be elected
and such EGgeue Daily has proved himself
to be. As Democrat he has always beer
consistent. He VIII carry the full party
vote as we'll a. scores Of Republicans VIII,
know what it is to have good Coroner.
Such is our county ticket. and we.tak,
pleasure 10 uunexlng Ii to cur NaIiuua
