Judge CAMPBELL, the independent
candidate for Prosecuting Attorney.
is a gentleman we'll and favorably
known for his department and affa-
bility, having served as Probate Judge
and Prosecuting Attorney to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned. In
every respect he has discharged the
duties of the office with safety to the
county and impartiality TO all parties
litigants. In no instance has he at
tempted to shield any one before
either the Grand CT Petit Jury, but in
every complaint he has used all par
ties alike. This much can be fairly
said of him, and further, that he is
fully competent--and strictly honest.
Then why should he be retired at the
end of his first term, to make room
for an incompetent partizan? If the
present incumbents of the Auditors
and Treasurer's offices, are entitled to
a second term, because they have
been honest and faithful servants,
why should not the same be accorded
to the Office of Prosecutor? Let the
Independent voters of Preble county
answer at the polls.
j. B. CAMPBELL and JOHN BROWN,
are the candidates for Commissioner.
Mr.. Campbell is the caucus candidate
of the once dominant party of the
county. In its last commissions for
life, it slaughtered MI. Coovert in the
shuttle and turned up Mr.. Campbell
rs the exponent of a dead body. The
caucus in its anxiety for fossils slaugh-
tered both Coovert and DAVIDSON, Of
Monroe. When the deed was done,
the people of Monroe became clamo-
rous, and claimed that their township
should by right be represented in the
Board of Commissioners, as the first
and third ranges were represented in
the persons of Conger and Prugh.
This circumstance suggested the name
of John Brown, of Monroe Township,
County Commissioner.
JOHN BROWN is a farmer, and fully
conversant with the wants of the peo-
pie, and if elected will guard we'll
the interests of the taxpayers of this
No Court House rings will
ensnare him, for he has no axes to
grind at other peoples expense. An
independent Commissioner is what
The taxpayers want in the Board to
guard their interests.
II seems that the recent causus that
convened at Eaton, had some spite at
he North part of the county, for it
slaughtered Miller, of Jefferson, for
representative, and Coovert of Mon
for Commissioner, and both o.
he second term. Surely Miller was
s able a Representative as Silver can
possibly make, for they have both
,een tried, and of the two, Miller ap-
feared to have more signs of life than
silver. Coovert discharged the du-
les of Commissioner to the entire
abstraction of the county, but it was
laimed he had some moral defects,
rb1ol coanool 70 oRranl fhaea r-1,oo
res, who took upon themselves to c
of the county Offices, legiti- f
1ately belonging to the people. If
his were not the reason for their I
onduct, why not have nominated t
)avisson? The truth is the fiat had
ond forth that the North part of the
ounty should have no representa- .
on in the county offices, and for this .
ause no one North of the town of =
alton, could ring in ; and this was
lie reason why Miller, Coovert and
were decapitated, to sub l
rye some Interior purpose among :
lie wire-workers of hat imperious o

But the "soul of John Brown"
'oms up in the distance and is now q
Larching on to victory. The omen +
a good one, and seems to strike v
it'll terror the vision of these =
ucksters and dealers in the affairs of
umanity. Then let every independ- q
ut voter in the county strike the L
lorus as the boys did in the army, q
lie "soul of John Brown is marching n
and as free men break the shack
of party and roll up a rousing ma h
'rity for the Independent Ticket at a
lie October election. b
