Hon. c. Close, of Cedar Township,
was re-nonlinated for Representative
This was deserved compliment to q
gentleman who has faithfully and cred
itably represented this County in the
Legislature during its sessions of the
past two years. Mr.. Close is not what
would be termed q brilliant man, but
lie has good hard common sense, which
should be preferred above mere snowy
display. On all questions Of public in
,erest he seasons correctly and his vote
is always recorded on the right side
He is s,aast ea,ahathally az honest, con-
scn,,tious gentleman, and the varied in
terests Of the County may rest assured
that so Ear as he is concerned they will
bc dealt by fairly and impartially. A
man of irrepIoachable integrity, NOR
al in his department, upright in all his
dealings, he is surely a man to whom we
may safely comnsitour legislative inter
ests with the certainty that they will
not be slissllted Oh abused. As a legisla-
tor he is always at his post, makes HIM
self acquainted with the merits and de-
merits Of every question which comes
before the House, and is always prepar-
ed to vote, and his vote is always for
the interest of his constituency. His
election is q foregone conclusion. --.
For Treasurer we have John Elwell,
of Waterloo, q man probably as well
and favorably KNOWN as any other In
the CeuNty. He has served our people
In public capacities before, and as sher-
if most of us remember him as a most
capable and ef1icientsfli He will
fill the responsible position for which he
has been nominated with credit to HIM
self, and with satisfaction to all concern
ed. Probably this nomination could
not have been bettered. la s..,. p.
In this connection we cannot refrain
from speaking a good word for Mr.. A.
c. Bunnell, the present incumbent
Prohahly no man ever enjoyed a higher
degree of popularity and esteem at the
hands of his constituency than Mr.. 3D.,
and In proof of this we have only to
point to the fact that he has held the
hest Office within the gift of this coun-
IS for eight successive years. During
al, this leng term nothing mas occurred
TO cast atcloud upon his character as a
snan or as an officer, and he will have
ahe satisfaction of retiring from the dis
charge of responsible duties with q
hohnpon the respect and eosaadeneeo of
the people that any man might be
prssdnf. A model officer, u courteous
gentlenaR, an upright and worthy citi-
zen, the people will not forget him.
w. f. Brown was re,nominated for
Sheriff. He has already served two
terms, and the faithful and efficient
mannerin which he has always dis
charged the duties-of his office was ar
gument sufficient to secure his re-nom-
ination. for a third term. Everyday
you are q mind to take him, Brown is
an A No. man, and the position is
worthily bestowed.
Without speaking of the other candi-
dates individually, we will say that
they are all good, true men, who will
do honor to the positions they are call
ed upon to I'll. We do nos know wheth-
er the opposition win pat q ticket in
the field or not. It is no,easy matter to
find candidates who4will consent to, be
