NO man stands higher in the estima-
ton OF our citizens than Calvin B.

honor to herself to have such representa-
tive IN the Senate. The City of Watertown
especially should feel deep interest in Mr.
SINNERS success. being we'll fitted by rea-
son of his thorough acquaintance with our
affairs to look after any special legislation
| required IN our behalf at Madison. =
y. X. Zimmerman, of Jefferson, the can
dldate for Sheriff is an old resident of the
County, and formerly held the position for
| which he is now named. He has wide
range OF acquaintances and is popular with
all. If elected he will prove 'the right
man in the right place"
Darius Reed, of Sullivan, one of the ster-
| ling men of Jefferson County, is the nomi-
nee for Treasurer. Mr. Reed is one of the
prominent farmers of his section and is
man Of integrity and honor. In his hands
the finances OF the county might be trusted
with perfect safety
August Wegemann, German of Lake
Mills, and young man Of sound character
aud reputation is nominated tor Register.
Mr.. Wegeman is engaged in mercantile
pursuits, is thoroughly reliable business
man, and eminently well qualified to dis
Charge the duties of Register.
For the position of County Clerk
the convention named William E. Der
vim, of Watertown, an Irish Republican
and soldier in the rebellion, fighting
bravely in some of the seyerest battles of
the War. On his person he carries rebel
lead and has always voted, as he shot, on
the right side. Mr.. Darvin has the ability
necessary to properly discharge the duties
OF County CLERK and The interests of the Office
would be best subServed by his election.
David 4. Owen, young Welshman of
Ixonia, is the nominee for Clerk of the
Court. Mr.. Owen is gentleman of fine
| education, graduate of one of the State
| Normal Schools, and secretary of the Grange
| IN his town. In Mr.. Owen the county

Capt N. Bruett, of Jefferson, whom every
body knows but to respect, received the
nomination for the responsible position
of District Attorney, and that Mr.. Bruett
would honor the office and make an able
and reliable District Attorney is admitted on
all sides. Jefferson County mas sadly stood
in need of such man in this position dur

can nominee the people have man
fitted 10 discharge the duties of the office
with credit to himself and the county
Milo Jones, of Fort Atkinson, one of the
early settlers of this County, is the choice
tor County Surveyor. He would bring to
the posi- ton many years experience and
would be able to give satisfaction to all re-
curing his services.
For the Office of Coroner, Rev. John G
Hull, Of Pennington, was presented, and
although last, must be considered by no
means least. Mr.. Hull is a representative
man in his locality, and his name will add
strength to the ticket. As master of a
Grange he has the interests of the agricul-
turalsts at heart and believes that those
interests are best promoted and sustained
through the principles underlying the Re-
publican party.
Such is the ticket placed in the field by
the Republicans Of Jefferson County. Every
name on it is worthy of the active and
earnest support of the Repu blican party
and full vote should be called out in its
behalf. Ever our enemies admit tha it is
an une xceptionable ticket from top to bot
| tom.
AS Republicans we have every reason to
to congratulate ourselves on the manner in
Which the convention did its work. A tick
ct has been selected from among the best men
in the County, and we can conscientiously
labor for its success from now until election,
knowing full we'll that if our men are not
elected the best interests of the people of the
county demand that they should be.
