Don,t Neglect the County ticket.

ent canvass and which are to be de-
cided by the coming election are pre-
eminently of national application,
and we cannot too greatly estimate
their Importance. But there is dan
/ ger from this very fact that the peo-
pie will lose sight of our county ticket,
and neglect the candidates whose
election is of. great importance to us
as citizens of Vanderburgh County.
This error we must avoid. 1t is de-
slrable to give strong and full vote
for our candidate for Congress and
the State Ticket, but we must not
forget that it is very essential to elect
by rousing good majority our county
officers. 1t is very desirable to elect
men politically sound as representa-
tives, but it is also important that
they be men of good business capaci-
ty, and competent to look after the
commercial interests of the city,
which are second to none in the
State. Let the merchant, the manu-
facturer, and the mechanic contrast
the candidates ON the Union Ticket
with those on the Democratic: ia
GUESS with KEK; HOPKINS
with Cox; BIsCHoF with CAL
VERT. Which of these men would
you prefer to entrust with your inter
ests; which of them by experience,
education and interest is most com
petent to look after the wants of the
people they will represent, if elected?
Mr.. JAoUEss is one of our best msr-
chants and business men, and thor
oughly identified in interest with the
people of the two counties. Mr..
HOPKINS, once elected to the Legis-
lature by the largest majority ever
given in this county, has had exper-
fence as legislator, for years Mayor
of this city, and one of our oldest and
most respected business men. Mr..
BIscHoF is one of the most intelligent
and accomplished of our German cit
liens, a popular speaker, and we'll
qualified to make useful man in the
Legislature. The contrast of these
men with the candidates of the De-
mocracy is very marked. Aside from
their politics, it is the interest of the
men of business and property to send
these men to indianapolis to legislate
for them. .-..-..~~-. ,s.I
Our candidates for county officers
are men equally worthy of support
for their respective positions. Col. !,
RHEINLANDER served his country
faithfully in the army, and has dis
charged the duties of his Office as
Treasurer this far, with fidelity and to
the satisfaction of the men of all par
ties. 1t is the established usage of
the Union party to re-elect for a Sec
ond term the men who have acquitted
themselves honestly and well in pub
lie trusts for such Offices, and none
deserve more fully a recognition of
this rule than Col. RHEINLANDER,
His opponent has nothing whatever to
recommend him to the support of
Union men, but much to repel them.
1t appears the Democracy are going
to make the fight on the office of
Treasurer andwe accept the challenge. b
We will refer to this office again.
Messrs. DECKER and HAvELIN are
men well known and well fitted for
their respective positions. The Office
of Commissioner is one in which the
tax payers are deeply interested, and
in PHILIP DECKER they are assured
not only of man of good business
capacity, but of incompatible integrity.
We say to Union men, don't forget or
neglect the County Ticket, but see to
It that it receives the full vote of the ,
party, especially as the men upon it are !
80 worthy of your support.
MANY gallant boys who languished ,
