habits, disqualify him& If Mr.. Rhodes
was all the time himself he would not be
always Mr.. Rhodes.
John Greetham, candidate for County
Treasurer, we, know not. We. have been
told that there is a man by the name of
Greetham in Pleasant Prairie, but wheth-
er his name is John our informant does
not know Neither do we know any one
by the name of Henry Greetham. We
know respectable young man, ill the
office of 2. q. Simmons, who has been
in the State long enough to become a
voter-perhaps two or three years-by
the name of H. W. Greetham, probably
Henry W. Greetham, but he Is so we'll
known thatgthe Convention would. not
have beenslikely to nnistak his name for
John AS we do not know John Greet
ham, and know no one who does, we can
say nothing more at present of the Demo-
cratic candidate for County Treasurer.
Philip Lentz candidate for Sheriff, is
q respectable German, residing in Keno
I ha He oncc held the office Of City
Clerk, and, being legihle writer and
not inattentlve to his duties, he discharg-
ed the duties of the office satisfactorily.
Aside from City Clerk we believe he has
had no experience in Office. Mr.. Lentz
lacks qualifications and experience to fit
him for the Office of Sheriff. The office
is not suited to him and he is not suited
to the office. And in this opinion we
think Mr.. Lentz would agree with us.
Alexander Edwards, candidate for Dis
trict Attorney, is young man studying
law The Union says of him, he. has
had the misfortune of tarrying too long
at the wine cup, like many of our bright
est and best men, bit has turned his back
upon Bacchus and given his future to
Temperance to stick" We had heard
the first part of the above statement, but
had hoped it was not true. We had not
heard the latter part, but hope it is true
Ambrose Spencer, candidate for Coro-
ner, is a farmer residing in Somers. AS
the only duty of Coroner in this state is
to serve, legal process on the sheriff, anG
as there is seldom any occasion for the
service of such process, perhaps Mr.. Spen-
Ger could discharge the duties of the Of
fee. Should an emergency arise, how
ever, requiring the service of process
on the sheriff, it would be much more
convenient and better for the Coroner to
to reside near the sherlff's office. Mr..
Spencer's location and business, in case
of any demand for the duties of the office.
are both Objectionable s Z
E. g. Timme, candidate for Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors, is Republi-
can and the Republican candidate for the
office. Mr. Timme has discharged the
duties of the office so we'll and has given
such general satisfaction that the Repub
lican convention re-nominated him unan-
Iimously by exclamation. If the, Demo-
Gratis can add anything to his popu-
larity by nominating and voting for him
Republicans will not object. 5svy 4b
For Clerk of the Circuit Court and Reg
lister of Deeds the Democrats have made
no nominations. To nominate any OF
their own@men they probably thought
would weaken their ticket. And they
felt that to nominate three Republic
cans, not including Mr.. Rhodes, out of
| eight candidates might be more than all
of themselves would willingly stand. So
they made no nominations for these two
offices. The Democrats are playing the
same game this year they did last year.
They have nominated Mr. Rhodes in
hopes that he may carry some Republi-
cans with him. They hope to elect their
candidate for Member of Congress and
their candidates for Sheriff and County
Treasurer And if they can securesa Few
votes by using Mr.. Rhodes or By making
no nominations and thus increase the
prospect of electing some of their candi
dates they will have accomplished their
purpose. ~ {bAs H4cn1t8,
