pleasure, that We commend in uuousl.
ified terms every man on the Republi

the party in Wapello county have we
had q more uncxceptionable ticket
throughout, and in our humble view
never have we before had more ex-

been put forward by the Anti Monops.

hear too that they hope to profit by
their sham generosity towards Cooley

didatc for County Supervisor, against
the Republican candidate s. n. Wright,
a much respected and honorable man
of Washington Township, and 4 oiti-
zen of Wapello county for overthirty
years. Be mindful Republicans that
no such soft soldering Of the old de-
mocracy (veiled by the Anti-monop
gauze) is suffered to deceive you. We
especially call the attention of our
Republican voters to our candidate for
Judge, the Hon. NJ. j. Williams, who
has been an honored citizen among us
for twenty years, and a Judge who has
most faithfully administered the law
in cur District Court for four years
past. Our readers know. him. The
good people of Wapello county have
tested him through years and years,
and they know from whence some
bitter opposition comes. His record
Of twenty years among us speaks vol

compliment we can pay him. Suffer-
not the stories that may be circulated
against him on the eve of election to

We need not extend this article to

would be a forcgone conclusion by q
