Gated. sober and honorable, hes ce one that
will do credit to our county in the Legis-
lative Hall. Added to these merits he
has brilliant military history. In Sept.
1861, he enlisted in the 7th Kansas Cav
airy and served as private for over three
years, and during the fourth year of his
enlistment, while serving as veteran he
was promoted to the important position of
Regimental Quartermaster, and was hon.

WILLIAM BARRETT,
the nominee for sheriff is very competent
and substantial man one of your noble,
solid old Ohioans. He was sheriff for four
years in one of the populous counties Of
Ohio aod is very familiar with the duties
of the office. He used to sometimes take
a dram too many. but during the las. year
he has become teetotaller, abstaining en-
tirely from the use of all ardent spirits.
Our friends we believe can be perfectly
easy on this score, and in other respects
all admit his qualification. He promises
if elected to put down the rowdyism in
our streets, which We should consider a
grea, blessing to our place.
ELI PUNTNEY,
who received the nomination for Treas
urer Is all that could be desired for tha,
important Office He is a gentleman OF
integrity and means-perfectIy response
BILE and competent He promises if elec-
ted TO keep his Office here in town and at.
tend to its duties himself.
CHAs. F. KoEsrER,
the candidate for Register of Leeds is about
the best man in the county for that office
None can say aught against him, he having
given entire satisfaction during the last
three years that he has held the Office.
This is fortunate choice for the county
There is no use in writing an eulogy upon
him for no one is so foolish as to vote
against him.
ALBERT INHERIT
was the unanimous choice of the convention
for County Clerk. All who know him.
know him but to respect. His most init
mate acquaintances are his dearest friends
The nomination placed on his shoulders is
wor,hily bestowed. He is returned SOL
dier, having served In the 18th Kansas as
a private from the time of its organization
in 1862 to its muster out in July 1865
His qualifications are of the higest order
being good penman, and book keeper,
sober and industrious. He returns from
the service impaired in health, and unfit
for hard labor. Marshall county will
never regret the day she gave him that Of
fee.
JOHN MEANS,
the nominee for County Assessor is an
old and we'll known citizen. His srerling
worth and unqnestionable qualifications
are too we'll known to re 4uire praise at our
hands. He will be elected aud faithfully
and honorably discharge the duties of his
important Office. The nominations of
