The CANDIDATEs.-It is fast approaching
nomination times and aspirants for offcia'
honors are swarming about like so many bees
singing each other, no doubt with secre,
thrusts. So far as the men themselves are
concerned who are talked of for the severel
positions we have but very little, ifany choice
simply because each and all Of them are mer
thoroughly qualified for the trust proposed t.
hand to them. But there are certain princi,
pies which are first and foremost with us tina
must be Endorsed before We could support any
man for any position, these are political equal.
ty Of all men, temperance, morality and q
high degree of honesty.
The two candidates for Treasurer, J.. II,
Struble, the present incumbent, and John R.
McClasky, are men whom we believe are
sound on these principles, no more 50, how>
ever, than arc all the others, as we suppose
There seems to be no special reasons assigned
for the removal OF Mr.. Struble more than that
of giving place to a crippled soldier. We
know MIR. McClasky to be a deserving young
man and fully qualified to fill the office, and
We would be well pleased to see him in posi-.
ton, but at the same time we see no further
reason why Mr.. Struble should be displaced
Mr.. s. has filled the position with marked
ability.

The NORTH Missouri RAILRoAD.-It wa
supposed by som persons that the announc.
ment Of the negotiation Of SG00,0 900 of the
bonds OF the North Missouri Railroad was pre-.
mature and doubtful, but we are able to say,
and do SO with alacrity, that the amount Of
quence that the road will now be pushed for
ward as fast as means can do it to the Iowa
line on the main stem, and to Brunswic on
the west branch. What we regard as special
~ beneficial to St.. Louis in this road, is the
construction Of the main line to Iowa. The
city needs that trade, and the people Of Iowa
within reach of st. Louis desire to trade here,
The construction of the North Missouri road
to the Iowa line will put in the power Of the
people of o large portion Of Iowa to reach this
city and when their own projected roads
connecting with the North Missouri are con-
structed, a still larger portion of Iowa people
can have the means Of trading with US.
This is why it is good news to .hear Of the
negotiation Of the bonds Of the North Missouri
Railroad Company. It is not only good news
for this city, but for the people of Iowa
especially for those of them who live on til,
lines of the Central Iowa and St. Louis and
Cedar Rapids roads. This news ought t,
stimulate the companies having these two pro
jected roads in charge to vigorous and earnes
action. We trust it will have the effcct.-St

QUADs.-The Union man squirms over our
remarks last week about "County Pap" and
"Printing Material" He alleges as a reason
for not lending the squads sent for that ours
and his are not Of a size, certainly we did not
want them if they were not the anne size of
ours for we could not use them. We tried them
previous to our asking the lone of them and
found that they would justify with ours, the
Union man did not do that so he knows moth,
ing about the relative size of the type. He
was never inside of our Office and never saw
. type Of ours in his life, then how could he
tell anything about the size? We have
enough printers without advertising for
them to do all our work and some to spare,
and we don't need to send our manuscript to
the Union Office to have it set up. The Union
man processes to want to do too much by way
Of accommodations, but refuses to do small fa-
vors which are needed. Like the man who
was SO much concerned about the welfare Of
the poor s~Polanders' that he refused to give a
dollar to relieve his poor neighbor-he would
do nothing because he could not relieve the
miseries of the whole world at once, this is
Union manlike.

notwithstanding the present and past
week trade has increased somewhat in activity
and money has become more plentiful in cir
culation. The Commercial Free Ryess" says
hat during the week ending August 26th,
not less than S4,00O,0OO had been paid out in
Chicago for wheat, all Of which went into the
country trade Of the North West. Gold is
quoted at 1,41s to 1,424. Silver at 1,3O to ,32
Government 5,20.s range from l,075 for
new, to liz for old; 1O-4O's 1923, and 1905
nt 1911 for either Of the three issues. The
first operations in the wheat market were Sc
active as soon to dull the trade. It has begun
to revive again and will probably soon attain
its former figures. The hog and cattle marke,
had been not only dull, but actually disaster
Gus to both drovers and sellers.

There are also two candidates for the Office
Of sheriff, subject like all the other candidates
here spoken Of, to the action Of the county
convention which meets at the Court House on
the eth inst. These candidates are Knight
Dexter and c. w, Carter, Mr.. Dexter is the
present incumbent, and has performed the
duties of that Office uel and we have heard no
reason whatever assigned why he should be
thrown aside, they have both been soldiers and
for all we know made a good record.
For County Judge we have heard no other
name mentioned than that Of Maj. T. s. Free,
whom we heartily endorse as fully qualified
for the position.
For Superintendent of Public Schools we
have heard the names Of 7. L. Downes, the
present incumbent, and that Of Prof. j. r.
Stewart, our partner in the Editorial, Depart
ment of the REPUBLICAN,, present Principal ! n
the Toledo High school and in order to have
official dignity with us we are Of course anx
ious to breath hat kind Of air and thus have
our sanctum pcrfnmed with official odor, hence
would like to see him thus ''boosted,' y provided
it don't put our friend Downs to too much in
convenience. Mr.. Downs SO far as we know
has done we'll the part assigned him.
For Representative, we have the names Of
James Wilson Of Perry township, and Rev. A
Cordner, mentioned. With neither Of thes,
men are we Familiarity acquainted.
For Surveyor VIC have the name Of c. w
Hiatt, mentioned whom we suppose to be the
present incumbent, and we suppose he will bs
nominated. Our attention being CALLED to oul
official Directory, however, we find that II
Jacobs is present incumbent, whether or no
he is q candidate we know not.

THAT is THE TICKET We VorE.-After hint.
ing that he would be much grati6ed to find
the Offices Of the county SO filled as to secure
to him . nice share Of the county printing, the
."slumbering lion" Of the Union gets off e.
athat's the ticket we vote, friends" So we
perceive. Freedom sfrom party politics
means pocket-book forethought. To provide
"beef and breeches" for the clay tenement, be-
fore it goes into q higher sphere men must
vote the ticket that ''pulls the wool and grinds
the OK" This is strategy in the 'last ditch
and patriotism Of the ong.earod sort. We
prefer to vote for the ticket that advocates 10y
al principles whether it puts money in our
pockets or takes it out. We 60 for men who
in the time Of unholy war on the Government
were not afraid to peril life and limb to pro
tect and save one of the richest boons tn
world has ever received, the american form
az free government. We 60 against the
swashy headed towards who are afraid to
show their hands and are in sympathy with
that foul treason which has brought grief to
50 many homes and cost us 50 many millions
Of treasure. "The ticket we vote Indeed
The money you want for the help you did no
and would not give to the country when i,
needed it The pay you want for standing a,

from many patriotic and just men during the
stormy times that proceeded aud accompanied our
tate bloody strife. . . I AM NOT YET SATISFIED

observation. So far as my memory goes, about

contempt of all useful knowledge and occu-

the lives and confessions Of pirates, murder.
