our columns to-day. The names are those Of
good men and true. Men Of good character
ability and stability. usstiur. G.%, -a-..f
Col. Ed WRIGHT, one Of our nominees for
Representatives., is not . new man. He has
already represented this county in the lower
House three terms, and stood smong the few
leading members. He had very fair show to
be elscted Speaker during his last term, but
learning that his friend, JOINS EDWARDS, was a
candidate, he refused to have. his name used in
that tonnection. Col. WRIGHT was admitted on
all hands to he the best parlimentarian in the
House, and his executive ability IL such that he
would make a No. presiding officer. In the
fall of 1862, he was commissioned by Governor
KtRKwooD as Major Of the Oath regiment, and
continued with the regiment until it was dis.
charged. a1ew days ago. lie was then Colonel
ofan regiment. lie participated in all battles
,hafhave made the name of the 24th Iowa dear
10 every loyal man in the State. Many of our
readers will remember with sorrow the names Of
snch battlefield as Port Gibson, Jackson,
Champion Hills, Vicksburg, Pleasant Hill, Win
chester, and Cedar rex, in all of which the
Gath was not last nor least. The Colonel was
severely wounded at Champion Hills, had his
horse killed under him at Winchester, was hit
several times at Cedar Greek but not severely
injured. The Colonel is fully identified in inter
est and feeling with the people Of this county
and State, and we are happy in feeling that his
calling and election is sure
Captain J. G. SAFLEY, the other candidate for
Representative. is a son Of Mr. JAMES SAFLEY, Of
Red Oak, one Of our oldest and worthiest citi-
zcns, and is about % years Of age. He gradu.
aed with honor at Cornell College short time
prior to the commencement Of the rebellion
and enlisted in company "K." llth Iowa. and
went with that regiment as I'D Sergeant He
worked his way up TO Sergeant Major. and was
afterward commissioned and served a. Captain
of company "I- in the same regiment, and was
mustered ont with the regiment \ fex- weeks
ago We cannot give the names Of the fields In
which he fought, but they were many. He was
severely wounded in one Of the battles bef6fe
Atlanta. Tie Is worthy young man. Of good
abilities and viii work for the best Interests Of
the county and State. 80 ~. Hs.~.
OF Hon. J. c. Belts, candidate for County
Judge, it is not necessary for us to speak. He
isknown all over the county, and his renomi
nation without opposition is a better endorse
slent than any we can make.
G. P.iINGMAN was renominated for election
for County Treasurer for tho third term. This
b certainly an honor to be desired. He has
made a No. / officer and has managed the
Gaances Of the county with marked success.
We. can expect no better officer than he Rss
made. -~r .. +..-r
J. d. SuEARER, the nomiRee for Sheriff Is one
Of the best men of the county and we have no
doubt will make most excellent officer. He Is
every way worthy Of support.
THOMAS JAMES, the nominee for Coroner, is
also one Of the best men in the county. .4.
C. A. Pound was renominatcd by reclamation
for Superintendent He fills the bill to the
satisfaction of all who want good teachers.
F. A. GATES, the candidates for Surveyor, has
held tho office during the past year to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation Of Mr..
AcCLuNG. We believe he has given satisfaction
so far, and makes very good officer. FL Fl
Hon. r. COVER Is the candidate for Drainage
Commissioner. When anything is to be done
by that officer, he will do 1t as It should be. q "
On the whole the ticket is one Of the best ever
offered to the people Of this county. This ali
must admit. OF course some were disappointed
in not securing the success Of their candidates
This will always be the case. The nominations
were fairly made; the ticket is a good one, and
the candidates will all be elected. Let us give
them the largest majority yet given in sold
