trict.-Owen King, of Wyoming.
For Assemblyman, Southern Dis
trict.-James Hird, of Mitllin.
We shall not attempt to deny that
the ticket is fair one, considering
the material from which the Con-
vcntion had to manufacture it, not
withstanding four of the nine cam
didates are of the Irish persuasion,
while the Welsh and Norwegians
are entirely ignored, and the Ger
mans are put off with the poorest
place on the ticket, and that given
to a man whom the party have no
hope of electing and who is not rec
oguized as a representative of the
German Democracy of Iowa county.
llr. Grass, the gentleman to whom
refer is q recent importation
from Madison !; is not engaged in
any business nor has any employ
ment or interest in the county

ABOVE is tae ticket nominated by
the Republican County Convention.
With more than common satisfac-
ton we present it to our readers,
and without fear of contradiction
assert that the men whose names
appear thereon are in every instance
the equals, and many of them far
the superiors of their competitors.
From first to last there is not on
this ticket a man but is well quail
lifted for the position for which he
is named, or whose character, pub
lie and private, will not bear the
closest scrutiny. Every one is en-
titled to the votes of all Republicans
in the county, and should receive
them. The farmers of the county
ere given all the offices except three,
(Treasurer, CPk of Court and Dist.
Attorney That class of citizens
certainly should be convinced of the
sincerity of the Republican party in
claiming to be friendly to them and
their interests, and can have no ex-
cuse for refusing to give this ticket
a cordial support. The Convention
has obeyed the injunction of the
Iowa County Council of Changers
and "a0ne bit honest and competent
men" are nominated.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1874-10-15

same az if he were no better than
other members of his party, and UNI
doubtedly aid in electing to the U.
| S. Senate Alexander Mitchell, that
great Railroad Monopolist, and
chief among the violaters OF the
Potter Law.
Mr.. Ryan, too, has heretofore
often sought public favors in Iowa
county. He has twice held posi-
tons of profit-once Register OF
Deeds and once Shorthand on
other occasions has been anaspirant.
In fact, for the past six or eight
years he has at every election been
candidate in convention or at the
polls, and may be set down as a pro-
fessional ofiice-seeker.
Mr.. Thomas is the only so-called
Performer" on the ticket. He
soured on the Republican party two
years ago, and now has his reward
His election over that brave soldier,
Chris. Kessler, who, while defend
ing his country in battle during the
late war, was crippled for life, is not
among the probabilities.
Mr.. Dick Dunstan is another
whose name as an office-seeker is
familiar to Iowa county. Aside
from his chronic itching for public
pap he is a worthy young man.
Matt. Burns was beaten for town
clerk in Democratic Highland last
spring, which we take as evidence
that he is not such man as will re-
feet much honor on the position so
long and ably filed by Orville
Strong.
M. J. Briggs has received some
attention in the TRIBUNE heretofore
He has not improved in our estima-
ton since then. AS legal adviser
for the county he would be a fail
ure. The people who wish to pay
the salary of that Office for nothing,
and employ other counsel for every
case in which the county is inter-
ested should vote for Briggs.
Owen King is lumber dealer of
Helena Station, and all his interests
are such as must naturally lead him
to lean toward railroads rather than
farmers.
James Hird is a Granger, but
possesses little else to commend
him. He is an old-line, Anti-War
Democrat, and if elected will cast
his vote in the Assembly to send
Alex. Mitchell, or some man of the
same class to the u. S. Senate, rather
than such a man as C.. c. Washburn.
Let every Republican compare
this ticket with that of the Repub-
licans, at the head of our columns.
In every case the Republican is the
equal of his opponent, and generally
superior. AS a whole the capabili-
ty, honesty and merit of the Repub-
lican ticket is ten-fold better than
the other besides being in sympa-
thy with all the great public reforms
so much demanded.

DOWNRIGHT LYING and the mean
est kind of Misrepresentation are
the leading means relied upon to
secure votes for the Democratic
candidate for Congress The Dem
ocratic papers of the District repre-
sent c. +. Thompson as farmer
and Granger, and nothing more /;
while in fact he has not been prac-
tically engaged in farming for years,
but instead has been a grain COM
mission merchant, a lumber dealer
and land Spectator, and has grown
rich by his speculations, not by
farming. All who vote for Mr..
Thompson on the supposition that
he is a farmer and Granger will be
deceived. Like many other men of
means, he owns farming lands no
doubt, and hires some of them titled
perhaps, but he does not work a
farm does not live on farm and
has no more interest in agricultural
industry than Mr.. Magoon or any
other land owner of the Sd District.
Who belives that Theodore Tilton
is a hlackmailer now ! The photo
graph he holds of his wife, LILA
beth, has been hidden for by picture

Should he yield the likeness of his
evil star to an agent he might easily

ly photograph of Mrs. Tilton besides
