part In the polite. Of our country, We
have acted with the Democratic party,
iLs policy represented By it suitiog cur
ideas Of justice and national policy better
than any other 10 existeucs. 10 county
elections, as we'll as state aud national,
have We identified ourself with the party,
and to day feel conscious that We are in
the right. Though not strictly Demo
cratic, in the old sense Of the term, the
tickets, national, state and county, which
stand at the head Of our columns, will.
We believe, with few exceptions, bo sup.
ported BY the Democracy Of Lincoln
county. The characters Of the men com.
posing the national and state tickets bavs
been thoroughly canvassed, aud all our
readers have probably decided who they
will vote for q; and they have no doubt
also made up their minds as to how they
will act IN regard to county officers, but,
nevertheless, a mention of the names and
characters Of the men competing the
Democratic nominations of this county
may not Be amiss.
First on the ticket comes Col Z. B.
Hull, for Representative, who Is probably y
known to most Of our citizens. He is a
gentleman Of considerable experience. and
although he does not pride himself on
his oratorisl abilities, will make US q
practical and working representative.
The time has almost passed away when
the people consider it their duty to send
men to the legislature for the purpsss Of
making buncombe speeches and wasting
that time iu windy rhetoric which should
be spent 10 work. Hull is tho man to
vote for.
For county court justice we have Mr..
Henry T. Mudd, one of the best business
men ef the county, and ono whose char
uctcr is above reproach. All who have
business with the county court know the
necessity of having judges who can dis
patch businos, rapidly and accurately
aud whose actions will be regulated by a
sense Of fairness and justice to all sec
tions. Such an one We believe the Dem
ocratic party has nominated in the per-
son Of Henry T. Mudd.
W. W. Shaw, the nominee for collector
stands high among the very best Of ou1
citizens, and once filed the Office o
county judge iu . satisfactory manner
His business qualifications are such q
will make him an excellent collector, on,
Of the most important Offices of thu
county. We all know that where the
taxes are closely collected, and where
thsro are few dslinqusuts, the burden
falls lighter on the tax payers, and assess
ments do not have to be made proportion
atcly high to Offset the amount tha
should be paid by men who are pevel
known to pay unless forced to. Hi
character is above reproach, and whil'
firm, he is also affable and agreeable il
his dealings with mankind.
Fer sheriff Col, T. NJ. Carter will Ger
taiuly poll very large vote, and b.
elected. 1t would be strange, with hi
popularity and social qualities If he di'
not. He 10 a gentleman Of noble quail
ties and liberal views. and we'll quali6s
to fill tho requirements Of the Office 70
which he aspirss. We predict for hi.
arousing vote.
Elijah Myers is our candidate ft
asses,sr, and ws think it would be i'm
possible to End better. He understand
the duties of the Office, and having file
it in a most satisfactory manner for II
past two years. cannot fail to do so Il
next term. Mr.. Myers 10 . gsu.lsmaa

qualities, and 80 of the best men 70
