To THE VOTERS OF GAEEATlN
COUNTY.

The time approaches when you are to select
from among our fellow-citizens various coun-
ty officers to serve for the ensuing two years,
whatever his past position as a partlzan OF
the Democratic or of the Republican party,
should feel deep interest, as all are affected
by the choice made. We believe the practice
of candidates for officc nominating and cleo
tioneerino for them selves detrimental to the
best interest Of any community; that the
Office should seek the man, and not the man
the Office and we pledge ourselves to Ignore
all political preferences that have hitherto
governed us, and to support only such men
for office as we know to be in the interest of
our people. and in whose capacity and hon.
esty we have the most implicit confidence.
We denounce Legislative gifts of our peoples
money or property to railroads or other cor
porations as public robbcries. We are OPP
posed to salary steals, and all other forms of
stealing. by which the public finances are
squandered.
We propose to nominate for office anti-ring,
ariti-monopoly. anti-corruptionists men for
officers of this county. We iGsist upon the
utmost economy in the administration OF all
Our county affairs, and that the hard earned
money we have paid for taxes shall not be
foolishly spent Tor The emolument of any per-
son or set Of persons.
We propose to put these principles in prac-
tee, regardless Of the past political views or
pireiudices OF ourselves or our neighbors.
We therefore cordially invite all our fellow
citizens WHO believe In these sentiments. and
are willing to carry them into action. and are
not pledged to the support OF the ticket al
ready nominated, to meet in mass convention
at Central Park, on Saturday, July II, 1873.
