The County Offices

The County 0daees
To be filed at the ensuing general
election are, Clerk of the District
and Circuit Courts, Recorder, and
three Supervisors.
For the first Office named, we nave
heard OF no candidates other than the
present incumbent, l.. b. Blinn, who
has been, as tar as we can learn, Q
faithful and efficient officer. He wai
nominated two years ago, after q
hard contest and has given general
good satisfaction. His unanimous
denomination, and reelection will
be graceful and merited recognition
OF his services and ability.
For the Office of Recorder, there
are several candidates, all, SO far as
we know, worthy, capable gentlemen,
Gain Burk, of Howard township, is a
farmer, and somewhat reduced in
health. T. G. Clark, OF Tama City,
is q man OF some literary culture and
experience in teaching. He was a
Chaplaia in the army during the war,
and returned from that duty with
impaired health. John II. Nicolas
key, Of Toledo, was soldier and was
deprived OF one leg by rebel bullets.
He is probably well known to most
OF our readers, and his fitness for the
position cannot be doubted. n, II.
Wilmington, OF Howard township, is
in poor health, and had the misfor-
tune, some ever year ago. to lose
his left arm. by an accidental gun
shot. He was a candidate lest year
for County Treasurer, but was de
featcd. He is now Deputy Treas
urer.
For members of the Board of SUI
pervisors, who have to be selected
from the body Of the county, we
have heard several names mentioned,
but more SO authoritatively as to
lead us to believe that any Of them
are anxious for the position. The
pay is not large, and the honor rather
less than that of Governor. Tie
names mentioned are w. +. John.
ston, Of Toledo; Jas. Wilkinson, OF
Columbia; G. Jaqna, Of Buckingham;
West Wilson, ofCrystal; A. N. Poy-
necr, OF Highland; c. Bratt, of Carl
ton; A. Tompkins, of Otter Creek,
and A. C. Tcnney, OF Indian illage.
We may have heard others NJ, n
toned, but only as mere mention.
All the getlemen named are able and
trustworthy and any Board. selected
from that list would be an honor to
the county. But, of course the Sc
lection is not to be confined to
the names above cited. We have no
doubt others will be heard from, be.
fore the adjournment of the Conyen-
ton.
Whoever may be chosen by tho
County Convention for the various
county offices, whether the selections
arc made from the names above, or
new ones are taken up, we have full
confidence in the Republican party
OF the county, that proper selections
will be made and the offices filled
with capable. honest men.
