Our County Ticket.

!
of the best men in the county all popular
and emnently well qualified to Ill the posi-
tons for which they have been nominated.
There is no man on the ticket that is no,
worthy of every vote and we shall be dis.
appointed if the entire ticket is not trium-
| phantly elected.
Our candidate for Senator, Hon. Daniel
Hail. of this city, needs no formal ntroduc.
ton from u.s. having an acquaintan ce
and reputation that extends to all portions
OF the county. His popularity and standing
at home are best evinced by his election to
the Assembly from this district for three
successive terms, and his influence abroad
| by his success last winter in attaining the
hlgt posi- ton of Speaker of the Assembly.
hr. Halls well known influence in the
| Legislature is consideration in his favor;
surmountinga all others with the people in
this portion of the district, and we believe
on this ground alone, if no other his election
is strongly demanded by them at this time.
Matters Of vital importance to this city and
several other localities in the county are
yet to be settled, and successful legislative
action is necessary before this can be ac-
complished. Under these circumstances
1t is not unreasonable TO expect that Mr.
Hall can be trumphantly elected, aud we
| shall take pleasure in chronicling his sue
cess in November.
For Sheriff, Q. @. DIN, of Oakland, was
nominated and a better selection for this
important Office cou ID not have been made.
He was the candidate fer this position gu
the Peoples ticket two years ago, and made
a sp lendd run. Mr.. Olin is an Intelligent
and upright citizen, and would discharge
the duties of Sheriff with credit to himself
and honor to the county. If the people of
the county look well to their interests, Mr.
DIN will be the next sheriff.
For the Office of Treasurer, Mr.. William
Sch ute, of this city, was nominated by an
almost unanimous vote. Mr.. Schultz is an
active and reliable business man, and in
every manner well fitted for the important
office of treasurer, the duties of which he
would faithfully discharge. to the public.
Mr.. Schultz is worthy the support of every
voter of Jefferson County, and we look for
his hearty endorsement at the polls.
Major George W. Burchard of Fort Akin
son, IS the candidate for District Attorney Z.
Mr.. Burchard is one of the leading members
OF the Jefferson County bar, and gentle
man of high standing and unblemished
reputation. He would bring to the posi-
ton of District Attorney, ability and ex-
perience aud we believe the best interests
of Jefferson County require his services for
the coming two years. We trust the people
will see to it that Mr.. Burchard is our next
District Attorney
Mr.. G. D. Aspinwall, OF Concord, was
nom mated for the office of Clerk of the
Court. Mr.. Aspinwall is young man Of
fine education and for some time past a
highly successful teacher of public schools
in the town where he resides For the
duties of Clerk of the Court he is well quail
fed, and should be elected
For the important office of Register, the
conven tion presented Mr.. John Meyer, of
Jefferson, German by birth, and one of
the prominent merchants of that place. Mr.
Meyer is gentleman of sterling character
and fine education, and no better selection
could have been made Should he be
elected, the people will find in Mr.. Meyer
the right man in the right place
Mr. ~ Bishop of Palmyra, received
the nomination for County Clerk. Mr..
Bishop is an estimable citizen, and has the
confidence and esteem OF all who know him.
He is a gentleman of strict integrity and
good business qualities, and the people OF
the county owe it to themselves to indorse
his nomination at The polls.
For Surveyor, Mr.. G. P Goodrich, of
Oakland, wa. ominated Mr. Goodrich
was elected to this position six years ago,
and performed The duties to the satisfaction
of tie county In Mr. Goodrich the people
know they will have an experienced and
accurate surveyor and his election may be
looked upon az a foregone conclusion.
Mr.. John Mackey, of this city, is the
nominee for Coroner Mr. Mackey is
young man of industrious habits, strict in
tegrity, and is widely popular: In the dis
charge Of any duties he would be called
upon to perform, by virtue of his election as
Coroner he would be governed only by
sense ofjustice and right.
Such is the ticket placed in nomination
by the Republicans of jefferson County.
Onr opponents dare not deny that it is in all
respects a superior ticket to the one in OPP
position to it. We firmly assert that it is
worthy the confidence and support of the
citizens of Jefferson County, and unless the
people wholly ignore their wants and re-
quiremenis, every man on it will be elected.
The time has come when the best interests
of the county should not be sacrificed to
party considerations, but all feel that they
have a duty to perform in the selection Of
county officers aside from political choice.
We enter the field with one of the best
county tickets ever presented 10 the voters
of this county by any party-composed Of
men who are the creatures Of no clique or
ring, but nominated solely in considera-
ton of their well-known qualifications and
fitness for the positions for which they are
named. Let the people do good work by
electing it.
