THE COUNTY TICLET.

l.
have an important duty to perform at
the next election in the selection OF
county officers for the coming two years.
The good government of the County,
and al honest and faithful discharge
of all the duties devolving upon our
county officials, are matters in which
the whole body of the people are direct
" interested. 1t is therefore essen
TALLY necessary that the management
of our county business should be In
in the hands of none but good, reiia-
BILE men. What their political pro-
clivities may be is matter OF sileh'
consideration compared with the dis
elimination, Watchfulness aud care
thew should evince while in office IN
looking after the peoples interest. 1t
is generally admitted fact that the
county ticket placed in nomination by
the Democrats contains several candl-
dates who are wholly untitled and IN
competent to discharge the duties OF
the positions for which they were
nominated, and we have heard more
than one Democrat freely confess that
If would be a shame and disgrace to
any party that would elect such men,
The superiority of the Republican
county ticket over the ticket IN OPPOSE
ton to it is a conclusion that forces
itself on every candid man in both
political parties, and is undenlable.
The best interests of Jefferson County
will BE- best subserved by its success at
the polls, and the people of all pollti'
cal opinions owe it to themselves that
it be triumphantly elected. 1t the
present "Ring" ticket brought forward
by the men who claim to hold the des-
TIMES of the Democratic party of Jei-
ferson county in their hands, shall re-
ceive an Endorsement at the polls, then
there will be no necessity for these
men to use any discrimination or pay
proper respect to the feelings and
wishes of the masses in the make up OF
tickets in the future, knowing as they
will, that the worst and most disgrace
full thing they can do will receive the
approval of the people.
Shall these corrupting and demon
alizing practices ir nominating conven-
tons 60 unrebuked is the question OF
the hour with the voters of Jefferson
County. We trust the verdict of the
people will be against all such dishon-
est and communicating proceedings IN
our politics, and in favor of the cleo
ton of a set of county officers who have
received their nominations only in con-
sideration of their fitness and the abili-
ty they possess to serve the people
with honesty and fidelity.
Hon. Daniel Hall having declined to
accept the Republican Nomination of
Senator, the Cosnty Committee have
substituted the name of Gen. Luther
A. Cole, of WATERFOWL, for that position
General Cole is one of the early settlers
of Jefferson county, and possessed of
sterling character and integrity. He
has never sought Office, but in 1859 he
was presented for the Legislature
against the regular democratic nominee
In this overwhelming Democratic dis
triet and was triumphantly elected. At
this time vital interests to this city and
county are at stake which demand the
presence of just such man as General
Cole in the Senate, and if tie people
are true to themselves be will be elect
ed.
Vote for Luther A. Cole
The financial affairs Of Jefferson
County will be well protected in the
hands of William Schultz, Republican
candidate for county Treasurer 1t is
time the books changed hands and our
financial matters were looked over. Mr.
Schultz is an honorable aud reliable
business man and the money matters
of the county will be conducted by him
IN an equitable, fair and business like
manner. Be sure that the name Of
William Schultz is contained on your
ballot.
Let not party bias deprive Jeffer
son County of the proper man for the
important Office of District Attorney.
Hundreds of dollars can be saved tc
the county yearly BY having capable
and trustworthy person in this position
