sition. His claims a . patriot Of the
| fret water were allowed by avote
largely in excess Of his less patriotic
comperitors. His friends claimed thst
a Republican soldier who fought for
the Government being a Candidate OH
the Republican ticket, il was in &C
c~ordance' with the eternal fitness OF
things that q Democratic soldier, who
fought against the Government,
should be pittei againtt him, ana II
wss go agreed.
K. A. Carson. who hss held ofiice III
the county, and would like to do 8"
again. distanced Squire Johns in the
race for the nomination for Probate
.Ta5ee. II would take All excellent
man to beat john Caldwell for that
place. and Mr.. Carson is not good
enough.
G. F. Booher 10 said to be . lawyer,
and is nominated for County Attor-
ney. We do not know Of his ever hav-
ing any practice.
John Stewart, Of Savannah, is the
candidate for Collector. John 10 .
young man, and might otherwise be
worthy of confidence; but he has had
almost too much connection with the
Era onice, to inspire the greatest
fifth. No apprehension need be felt,
however, for MI. Stewart has not yet
obtained q certificate Of election.
The nominee for County Judge,
Hugh Lewis, either lives in Buchanan
county or part of his farm lies in that
county. His business 10 transacted
mostly at ST. Joseph, and his inter-
ests are identified with that city and
county rather than with Andrew
county, and he will Of course be beat
en- BY one who will better take care Of
the county's interests.
Hhhiiip Cook, for Public Admins
traitor, 9 particular friend of the
| Chairman of the Convention, Mr..
Eph. Meyers, is unkno ~n to us, and
we are therefore prevented from say
ing anything in his favor, much ~ We
would wish to do so.
John D. Wright, for Surveyors
another friend of Meyers, is also de-
barred the recommendation Of the
REPUBLICAN for the same reason
He can not be elected over such an
excellent Surveyor q Mr.. Deshazo 10
known to be.
J.. T. McFaddeu is for School Su-
pe~rintenent. We only know that Mr..
W. D. Hoar is teacher enough to
.t.ach him 8 lesson" this fall which
| Mr.. McFadden will not very soon
forget.
For Coroner. John S. McLain ID the
nominee. We don't like to oppose
such good men for any Office. and
must only do so upon the ground
that We fear the Office would ruin him,
even if he succeeded in being elected.
No, John; much as We would like to
see yon filling some lucrative Office,
We tearfnlly, yet trmly oppose you in
this instance purely for your own
good.
We have thus impartialIy reviewed
the whole Democratic ticket. That
II can be beaten 10 among the posi-
bilities. That it possesses any known
elements Of dignity, honesty or ell
! cheney will not be acknowledged by
the Democrats Themselves. The he.
publican ticket greatly e1csls it in the
point Of standing, ability or charac'
ter of tie persons COMPOSING it. II
the Republican ticket 10 defeated, il
will be because the Democrats are
harder working politicians than are
the Republicans. From a glance at
the names on the Democratic ticket,
no Republican will have q shadow OF
excuse for scratching q single name or
his own. Our ticket is the equal OF
the opposition in ell points, and tbs
superior of it IN very many respects
