The "PeopIe,s- Ticket.

The "PeopIe's" Ticket.
The "Psople's" Convention, last Saturday, was
very largely attended, and great interest was
manifested. The Convention was governed by a
great deal more good sense than we anticipated,
and a good ticket was nominated. The proceed
ipps will be found elsewhere in this issue, but
we herewith present the ticket
For State Senator
C. G. BRIDGES.
For Clerk Of the District Court
FRANK BROWN.
For Probate Judge
ROBERT WILKINSON.
For County Attorney.
w. d. WEBB.
For County Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
d. D. ROSE.
For County Surveyor
JAMES F. FORMAN.
For Representative, 1st District,
GILES 4. BRIGGS.
For Representative, ID District,
r. s. HINCKLEY.
For Representative, Sd District,
T. H. Worries.
Mr. Bridges, the candidate for Senator is well
known in most parts Of the County. He is a
man of good ability and Judgment, and has had
Legislative experience. He has stamina and
back bone, and is not afraid to advocate what he
believes; and he can be depended upon. Were
he ON the Republican ticket, we would give him
most hearty and enthusiastic support.
The Convention acted wisely in endorsing
Frank Brown. They could not have nominated
a man to beat him. and would have but damaged
themselves in the attempt.
Robert Wilkinson, the candidate for Probate
Judge, we have spoken of heretofore. He has
made capital officer, and we are sorry that the
Republican Convention could not see the matter
of leaving the nomination open in the same light
that we did.
Mr. Webb, the candidate for County Attorney,
is one of the ablest and most popular lawyers in
this District, and has a wide reputation. His
nomination was wise stroke.
ID. ID. Rose has occupied the position of Super
iutepdent of Public Instruction for the past two
wears, and has made a most fruitful and indus
trious officer. No public officer can please every
body, but Mr.. Rose has come nearer giving gen.
eral satisfaction than any Superintendent We
we have ever had. He has put in much of his
time in attending to the duties of his office, and
no County in the State has had better Superin-
tendeDt. Hundreds of Republicans in the Coun-
ty regret that the Republican Convention went
off on a wild experiment in reference to this Of
| fee.
Mr. Forman, the candidate for Surveyor, is one
of the oldest citizens of the County, and most
estimable man. He is peaceable, public spirited,
and a man who always tries to haze his neigh
| bors think well of him. Were politics thrown
aside, he would be a man that would command
an election whenever he was a candidate. He
once filed the office of County Surveyor, and
proved to be good officer.
Giles A. Briggs, candidate for Representative
in the First District, is hard working farmer,
who attends to his own business, but is awful
Democrat. He is one of the Oldest residents OF
the northern part of the County.
X. S. Hinckley, candidate for Representative
in the Second District, is another excellent citi-
zen, but comparatively newcomer in the Coun-
ty. He is of good sense and practical
ideas-but he is also a stiff Democrat.
T. H. Worries, candidate for Representative in
the Third District, is a young man, with whom
We have no acquaintance. He has been active
in the Farmers movement, from the beginning.
He, alsO is q Democrat.
1t is a subject of remark, that the Democrats
gobbled In the three candidates for Representa-
tives.
Thus completes the ticket. We are acqusint-
ed with all the candidates but one, and most OF
them are eur friends. We have erdeavored to
speak the exact truth of them, as far as we have
spoken of them at all, and to say nothing but
what We believe to be true, either for or against
them.
We again say to the Republicans, that we have
strong ticket to oppose. We trust that, for
what we have said of it, We shall not again lie
accused, (as we have already been,) of assisting
to defeat the Republican ticket. Work will elect
our ticket, and We trust that the work will be
done, instead of falling back and saying we are
beaten, because some of us do not see the neces-
sity of pitching in and abusing and depreciating
the merits an strength of the opposition ticket.
