THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON
VESTEON.

vEETE0N.
As will be seen In the proceedings.
published in full in this issue, this Con-
,Vention was one of the pleasan.est and
most unanimous meetings ever con-
vened in this Cddnty; it was really
representation of the people; a
convention of men unbiased BY
personal influence, and without instruc-
tions from individual interest, convened
tor the best advantage of their constitu-
ents and OF the entire People of the
county. Not ore of that large conven-
tion seemed to have any other object IN
view than to aid in selecting good, hon.
est and competent officers, and everyone
heartily concurrcd in the choice of the
Convention without consideration of
personal preferences.
Hon. II. II. Smith, Of Two Rivers, the
Nominee for State Senator, is too well
and too favorably known to the people OF
this County, that especial mention
should be necessary but he being one
of the ablest and most influential resi-,
dents here, and having through
nearly thirty years devoted his vast
knowledge and experience, and his in
domitable energy to the amelioration of
the County, and the bodily and mental
improvement Of its inhabitants, it is but
simple justice and the plain duty Of our
people to elect him to the highest Office
within their gift. Mr. Smith will al
ways be found on the side of right and
justice as we'll in politics as in morality.
lie understands we'll how far legislation
ought to go without infringing on person
al liberty. and how injurious the effects
often are, when laws are passed and tried
to be enforced, the principles of which
ought only TO be brought about by
moral teachings and personal example.
We have full confidence that Hon. IL.
II. Smith will receive the hearty support
of every Republican ard unbought Demo
crat in Manitowoc County.
Mr.. r. d. Smart, the nominee for
Sheriff, is pan well known throughout
this County as 4 an old resident and as
an Industrious, sober man fully qusli-
fed TO discharge the duties of his Office
faithfully without fear or favor. Though
other good candidates were proposed for
nominations Mr.. Smart had good ma
jority in his favor. and we believe all
good citizens of Manitowoc County viii
cordially unite in the support of the sue.
cessful candidate
Mr. Querin Even was she only candi-
date for County Treasurer, and of course
was unanimously nominated We are
especially pleased with the result, because
some of our. Republican friends felt some
what opposed to him on account of the
Treasurer official action at the com
mencement of his present term; but as
Mr.. Il. is now satisfied that he was mis-
taken In his views and will hereafter act
as every Republican officer ought to in
every instance, and especially as he ha:
proven himself man OF ability ant
strict integrity in the discharge of BIZ
financial duties, we believe that no bet
ter choice could have been made, aut
that his election by large majority mex
November will show that the people O.
this County are Of the same mind.
