The General election for 1870 is close
at hand, and we would ask the Republic
cans of Kenosha County if they have
given its Importance due considera.
ton and are ready for it. A Represents
tivein Congress for the First Congress
sional District is to be. elected Two
years ago General Paine was elected by
only a few hundred majority. What
changes may have taken place in the
relative strength Of parties within two
years we do not know. We know that
the Democrats are laboring with all their
might to secure the election of their
candidate, in q way no less likely to be
successful because it is carried on, to a
great extent, quietly and secretly. Their
efforts with disaffected Republicans are
unceasing, even though the ,disafection
may arise entirely from local causes.
We trust, however, that their efforts, in
this respect, will be unavailing, partic-
ularly in this county. We trust the
Republicans of Kenosha County are
united in favor of the election of Judge
Lyon 1t is best however for it to be
understood that, to secure his election, it
is necessary that every Republican
Elector in the county should vote for
him. There is. no certainty that one vote
can bespared@ On the contrary, there is
s doubt enough to make it necessary to
bring out every Republican voter And
we believe a full vote through the Dis
trict will elect him triumphantly. sgQ
The election of superintendent of
Public Instruction is not to be lost sight
J of Samuel Fallows, the Republican
candidate, is well qualified for the office,
and every way worthy of support And,
though there is no doubl about his cleo
ton, every Republican vote should be
cast for him OF isI929D TI9V9
The election of Assemblyman is of
great Importance InJohna Hartnell the
3 Republicans have candidate, who will
if elected, fifty and ably represent his
constituency, and is every way worthy of
support. He is not an office seeker and
never solicits office He has however
been frequently elected TO important
offices in the town of Brighton and has
always filled them to the satisfaction of
the people and with credit to himself
Mr.. Hartnell is an Englishman by birth
and an American by choice. He has
resided in Brighton twenty-five years
and is now in middle life He is a
farmer, and is well known by the business
. men of this city and the county as man
of ability and integrity. He was not a
soldier in the war of the rebellion or any
other war; He has, however lost leg,
which is none the less misfortune to
him, than if he had lost it in the defence
of his country, He did not seek the
nomination for Assemblyman, but the
nomination sought him. Sensible Re-
publicans, looking about for candidate
who, if elected, would ftly and credit
ably represent his constituents in the
Legislature, thought of John Hartnell
and spoke to him on the subject. He
had never thought of being candidate,
but consented that his name might be
brought before the convention if his
g friends thought it best to do SO. His
name was brought before the convention
and he was nominated. And we think
the convention acted wisely in nom.
mating him. 1t now remains for the
voters to elect him. And we call upon
every republican elector of the county
to go to election and vote for John Hart.

For the eight County offices the DEM
