dates,
DR.. N. G. Clark. one of the candidste
for the Senate, was q member OF the
House. during the session of 1868. He
also served in the army, as Surgeon of
the 9Th Kansas. which position be filled
with credit. As an evidence of his pop
ularity. we refer to the fact that in q
Convention Of 3s Delegates. he received
81 votes-ths other one, we believe, was
not in the Convention when the vote was
taken.
Asahel Low, the other candidate for
Senator, is we'll known. He is an old
resident of the County, and has stood BY
the party straight through. in that hot
bed Of Democracy. Doniphsn. He has
had considerable Legislative experience.
having served in the 6rst State LegisIs.
ture. in 1861. and in the Legislature of
1865. He always turns mp when there
are United States Senators to elect.
Col, Cyrus Leland. the candidate for
Probate Judge. is another old citizen.
who has filled several public positions.
He comm anded the Militia stationed in
this County, in the latter part of 1861
and beginning of 1862; and he after
wards served as Quartermaster Of the
18th Kansas. during the three years. term
of that Regiment.
We are unscqusinted with Frank
Brown, the candidate for District Clerk;
but we learn that he is competent and de.
serving. He is very popular at home,
and received large vote in some parts
of the County, last Fall, for Register oI
Deeds.
X. X. Stout, the candidate for County
Attorney, was a Democrat before the
breaking out Of the Rebellion but he
always bore the reputation Of being fail
one. The first mark to his credit was
voting against the Lscompton Constitu
tion. which his party attempted to forc'
upon Kansas. At the commencement O.
the Rsbsllion, Mr.. Stout took a strong
stand for the Union. which he has main
tsined ever since. We have never heard
him express himself on the issue between
the President and Congress but We art
willing to accept the endorsement Of him
by his Republican neishbors.
| Rev. Gary Hickman. the candidate fol
Superintendent of Public Instruction. is
the only man on the ticket whom We are
not willing to endorse. with the present
lights before US. We are unacquainted
with him but he has always been rep.
resented to Us as a Conservative. and q
rebel sympathizer. To strengthen this
reputation, we are told that be had son
who served in the rebel army during the
war. If we are doing him injustice, we
should like to be set right; but our in
formation comes from those who know
him, and ought to know bis political
sentiments. Why such q man was nom
mated, in preference to Mr.. Bishop or
Mr.. Robinson, both thoroughly Radical,
and both equally if not more competent.
we cannot imagine. Whatever others
may do, no Convention can bind us to
vote for such man. ..r
