The right of the people to nominal

called in question But the right, also
to call in question the fitness of any can
didate (morally or otherwise) that is pre-
sentcd by whatever clique or party for al
Office Of trust aud responsibility is a rlgh
that must be upheld and encouraged.
Now, Mr. Editor, it is not my purpos,
to review all the candidates put in nomi
nation for the several Offices in the gif
of the people by the several cliques ant
parties. For there may be, and doubt
less are good men to be found on all th,
tickets In the field. But the intention
Of this communication is to call the at
tention of your readers to the characte
and fitness of the several nominees be
fore the people for their support for the
most responsible and important Office il
their gift; an Office which requiresa mar
Of integrity, with a clear head and ar
honest heart a man whom the people
will be able to find at his POST in all busi
ness hours-who is neither trickster
brawler nor debauchee.
Now, what is the standing of those
who have been presented for this high
and responsible office of trust?
First, we have John G. Eggers, the
las it is charged) bribery candidate oi
the Democratic party. A man who ten
years ago would have filed the Office with
or edit, but who about that time got
elected to the Office of Register Of Deeds,
and horse-leech like has clung to Office
ever since, sucking the money, blood and
sweat from the tax payers of the County, a
curse to the people, and cursing himself
by the Formation of habits that have rem
dered him unit to safely perform the
duties Of the Office ard made him
oh Roxious to decent society a stinl,
in the nostrils Of the leading men Of his
own as well as all other parties. With
the knowledge OF the truth of the above
let us see if beer, bribery and corruption
will secure his election? ? I believe not.
And now for the second, Anton Chou
pek, the nominee Of what is called the
Peoples Ticket" John c. Eggers is
bad enough, but fraud and villiany have
never heard laid TO his charge and what
man is there in this County that knows
F-Is. Chloupek, or has ever heard his
character spoken of, that can say as much.
Why. sir, [ believe that outof the entire
Convention that nominated Chloupeck
(and there were many highly respectable
men IN it, not one that knows the char
acter of the man could be made to swear
that he is man of integrity, or is at all
fitted by education to discharge the du-
ties Of the Office he is named for
| Now, sir, I submit, If such be the case,
is it not an insult to intelligence and de-
cency, to ask respectable community to
vote for such a man? [ feel as if twas,
and think the people ought to manifest
the same feeling at the polls by spewing
him out Of their mouths.
/ There is, however, another choice for
this important Office Of whom it is a
pleasure to speak. Imean the nominee
l'of the Republican Convention, Querin
Even, of Cato, gentleman of spotless
integrity, against whose character for
| honesty defy breath of suspicion Of
| good scholarship and broad capacity, who
with bis father, Casper Even, came to
kossuth some twenty four years ago. ana
has lived among US ever since, excepting
the time he was at college who for
about seven years labored in the employ
Iof j. A. Kehler, Of this City, where he
was known, honoled and esteemed by all
with whom he did business, in every way
worthy Of this high position.
|. for one, Mr.. Editor, am thankful
that such a choice is offered US, and |
believe that fraud, beer and bribery will
not prevent his election when the day
Ecomes around.
Yours, for honest, trustworthy men,
A CITIZEN.
