Judge, he has exclusively, ardrnily, inycler-
aiciy and ind%smitably engaged in the very
loudablo and prais- worthy business Of doing
the dirty work. OF the party that placed him

We dc not notice that any other candidate
on tie Republican County Ticket is urged
upon the voters Tor re election q bccause Of due
y well per formed" in other words 'dirly
work" for the party. Other candidates seem
