lie entered the army rs a lieutenant,
and by bravery and integrity rose to
the high and honorable position OF
Brigadicr General This fact alone
settles the status of his ability. Since

son of the late VIM. Bloom, who was
known to nearly every citizen in the
county in his day. The son has in
herited the integrity and Democracy

numerous Democratic family in the
county, and therefore deserves the
support of every Democrat. Besides,

ocrats in the county, not one of whom
will vote for him, He is an Ishmaelite,
and wholly incompetent for the posi-

fool out of him. unless he learns their
motives and takes the advice of friends
before election day and leaves the field
for some one more competent.
l.. J. Morgan, our nominee for Reg
ister and Recorder, is a citizen of Wal
laceton and is particularly well quail
fled for the position by education and
experience. He is one of the best book
keepers and accountants in the county.
His pcnmanship cannot be excelled,
and that is just what is needed in that
office, He was born in the county,
and represents a large and influential
connection of relatives in therein. who
have always been zealoussupporters of
the Democratic party.
His Radical opponent, Smith, is not
qualified for the position either by ed
ucation or experience, but recently
moved into this county and is almost
unknown to every body except few
Radicals who have undertaken the job
of electing hun. No Democrat in the
county owes him anything in party
sense, nor should business men ofeither
party want to put man into that
Office who is wholly incompetent
Morgan is upright and competent and
Democrat in whom there is no guile.
The other man has not resided long
enough in the county to test his quail.

party, althought one of the "worst
rebels in the county during the war
Now the loyalists kiss his foot The
alliance is too unnatural TO possess
much Godlincss or Democracy, and
must prove abortive.

ties as an accountant, and viii make
an upright and competent County Au-
ditor He is exceedingly modest in
his department, although finished
classical scholar, well fitted for higher
positions. He is entitled to solid
Democratic vote.
James Thompson, who seeks CON-
fort in the Modoc camp ard has formed
q Radical alliance, is following false
gods and has made wonderful depart
ure from the views inherited from his
esteemed father. lie will prove far
more useful to his family than to the
