Representative, X. K. Stout, B. O'Driscoll, and
r. n. Montgomery, were voted for. Stout got it.
In the Third District, there were several can
didates for each Office. Joseph Hill was nomi-
mated for Commissioner, aud Rev. B. F. Bowman
for Representative.
Having given a statement Of the proceedings
just as We saw them, without any attempt at
vanishing, We shall now say few words about
the candidates Taking tine candidates person
ally, the ticket is a good oHe, being composed of
gentlemen Of character and integrity.
Thomas ]. vanderslice is ene Of the oldest resi-
dents OF the County, and resides near Highland.
He is q manof honesty and ability, and has al
ways been 4 strong Democrat. He has several
times been member of the Legislature, and is
now Justice Of the Peace. The only fault we
can find with him, is a slight lack of get-up and
go-abead.
Robert Tracy is q practical farmer, and has q
farm somewhere near Brenner Station. We be-
lieve be was born in the Tressurrrs office-at any
rate, no matter who lie elected Treasurer, he al
ways has to run the Office. He will probably be
elected. He is a Republican, we believe.
Thomas Henshall is Democratic farmer resd-
ing in the eastern part of this Township. We
have but recently made his acquaintance, but be
stands well in the estimation of those who know
him. We cannot say what kind of a County
Clerk he will make, but we know that he makes
an excellent Secretary of Convention.
Albert Hazen resides in Burr-Oosk. He was
once member of the Legislature, and two years
ago came near being Sheriff. He is Republican,
and is popular at home.
Amos w. Waters is Democrat, residing in
Wolf River Township. He wssonce before Coun-
ty Surveyor, and made good officer. Bnt fair
ness compels us to mention an inconsistency be-
tween his former ac.s ana tis present position.
He was one of the three commissioners appointed
to assess the damages on land through which the
Atchison and Nebraska Railroad was located.
That the public may judge whether he was work
ing in the interest of the Railroad Company, or
of the farmers, or Of justice we may mention that
the usual award for dividing a mans farm, and
running through the best part of it, was from S.
to SIS! We do not know but that some of the
farmers are yet seeking justice in the Courts.
DIR. Welsh is practicing physician in Doni-
phan, and Democrat of the old school. But
that party has become SO familiar with death,
that perhaps they are best qualified to take charge
of dead men.
Jesse Jones is q substantial farmer of Iowa
Township, and an estimsble man. We believe
that he is not strict party man, sometimes vot-
ing with the Republicans, and sometimes with
tine Democrats.
Nathan Springer is citizen of Wolf River, and
an old resident of the County; and a Republican
in politics. We know nothing of his qualifca-
tions; but there seems to be a very heavy oppo-
sition organizing against him in the District.
Charles C. Donly resides in the western part
Of Wayne Township, and is Democrat political
ly, we believe. As a farmer, he is no slouch, as
he has the documents to prove. At the recent
Atchson Fair, be took the frst premium on fine
hogs. and on red wheat.
X. X. Stout is among the oldest settlers of the
Comfy, and is known to almost everybody in the
County. Formerly Democrat, he united with
the Republicans at the outbreak of the rebellion,
and has remained with the party ever since. Dir.
Stout has always stood high rs q citizen, and
been regarded as an honest man.
Joseph Hill is Republican farmer of Burr-0ak,
and comes highly endorsed by his neighbors.
Rev. b. F. Bowman is an old resident in the
vicinity of wathena, and is Republican in pol
itcs. He is too well known in the County to
need special mention.
Such is the ticket nominated on Saturday. 1t
is well distributed, and composed of good men.
W.. fa-ssanno thsro vim 10 ;ad-fs.doat saaii-
dates for at least portion of the Offices, and that
voters who were not permitted to be represented
in the Farmers Convention, will reserve the
right to vote as they choose. We must say that
the farmers effectually resisted the influence of
all political rings; and their determination to
do this, may account for what some looked upon
as a want of regard for the wishes of those who
were not permitted to participate in their Con-
yention.
To wind up, the Farmers Ticket, in print,
would look lik this:-
