The Democratic County ticket Is con-
posed Of men Ne feel proud 70 support
men Of known ability aud integrity. It
not only will receive the cordial and un.
divided support Of the party, but in con.
sequence Of the individual popularity of
tue nominees, will draw largely from the
ranks Of the opposition.
Judge McFadden, the candidate for
Joint Councilman, is known T. every man.
woman and child in the district. One of
our oldest and most talented citizens. he
is fitting contrast to the shallow. Drained
carpe,-baggcr who has been placed in the
field as his opponent. The people Of
Olympia have not forgotten the debt of
gratitude they owe to Judge McFaddeu
as the advocate and defender Of our local
interests, during the struggle for the
Capital location few years ago. To him
more than any other man wc owe its pres
ent location, and to him, therefore, VIC are
indebted for our present prosperity and
position as the leading city on tho Sound.
F.. J.. Smith, on the contrary,'is q man Of
mediocre ability, and this has all been
used against this part Of the county, as
every citizen who is posted 10 passing
events we'll know. He refused to sign
the petition asking an examination by the
railroad party Of OF advantages as a pros
pective terminus, and his very act has
been in direct hostility to the interests Of
our people. Between such men there can
be but one choice, and VIC predict that the
gallant sage of Saunders Bottom will be
elected by majority which will prove q
lasting rebukc to specializing carpet
baggers for all time to come.
Judge Wychc, the nominee for Repre-
sentative is a man of commanding talents,
strict integrity, and Of extensive acquaint-
ance in different parts of the Territory.
His latter qualification will be no small
aid to him. in successfully advocating the
interests Of his constituents. We need
just such a man in the House, to set forth
our wants when measures Of local interest
are considered. lie is with US, one of US,
and here intends to make his future
home. We doubt not he will receive his
fully party strength, and such support
from the opposition as is not strictly
bound by the party lash as to be will
ing to sacrifice everything for party. Mr..
Biles, the other nominee for Representa-.
tive is young man who has grown up to
manhood in the Territory. Ills compc.
tency is unquestioncd, and his integrity
untarnished. Of his election, we have
not the slightest doubt, as all who know
him conccde what We state to be true.
Mr.. Hicklin the nominee for Joint
Representative is also eminently fitted for
the duties Of legislator, aud can safely be
trusted with the management of our local
interests.
Mr. Lowe, the nominee for Auditor has
a host Of friends. He is we'll qualified
and deserving Of cur best efforts for his
election.
Frank Ruth for Sheriff is pronounced
by men Of all parties pre- eminently the
proper man for the place. Everybody
knows him, and We trust everybody who
is free from party lash will vote for
him.
Messrs. Jas. Biles, Benz. HARVARD and
David j. Chambers are probably the very
best selection that could have been made in
the County for Commissioners. They are
all deeply interested in the prosperity of the
county, and are men Of sterling integrity
Mr.. Weed, the nominee for Assessor,
has been with us since "the year L."
There is no discount on Charley, and he
will find an easy victory over his oppo-
nent.
Mr.. Bettman, for Treasurer, is popular,
faithful, honest and competent, the quail
ications most needed for the discharge of
the duties Of one of the most responsible
Offices in the gift of our people. Tax
payers will take this view of the matter at
the polls and elect him.
Mr.. Judson, as Probate Judge. has
been tried in that Office, and not found
wanting.
John NJ. Murphy for School Superin.
tendent was not an aspirant for che honors
and glories Of official position, but having
been nominated desires to be elected. He
wears no cloak to hide his imperfections,
but trusts that this fact will not conspire
to defeat him. He refers to the communi.
ty to decide if he has not, and does not, act
upon the square towards all men. .
Messrs. White and Frost the nominees
for Surveyor and Coroaer are true men 10
every sense Of the term, did not seek nor
desire nomination, but the Offices sought
them. iA.'
We say, then, to our citizens vote for
these men if you want good officers-men
who have the ability and inclination to
