THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TICKET.

w ulle tne tlcket se1ecCeu ny the
Democratic-Republican Convention
Monday is not in all respects as good
as it might have been, yet in view Of
the fact that of the seven candidates
nominated four were taken from the
Republican ticket, we feel that we
would lay ourselves open to the
charge of ingratitude should we not
allow this generous endorsement to 60
far in mitigation of what was not so
we'll done.
Mr.. NJ. Cans, the nominee for
Treasurer, is now about finishing his
second term, and he has done his du-
ty so we'll and 50 faithfully that the
Republicans considered him deserv.
ing Of q third term. In this view
our Democratic friends sensibly con-
CURED and will assist us in reflect
ing him.
Mr.. John Zapp has been Register
of Deeds for nearly fourteen years,
and has been so uniformly courteous
and obliging in his official intercourse
with the people that the Republicans
decided he should be retained for
at least two years longer. The Demo-
cratic Convention unanimously en-
dorsed this decision.
p By a majority of more than
three to one Capt. L. W. Collins, the
Republican nominee for County At
torney, was selected for the same
place on the Democratic ticket.
Capt. G. has twice been elected to this
Office, and his nomination by both
parties now is an evidence that he
discharged its duties in a manner en-
inently satisfactory to the people Of
the county.
| Mr.. NJ. P. Noel has been County
Surveyor for 10! these many years
The Republican Convention did not
believe there was another man who
could ELL the place quite so well, and
herein the Democracy again sensibly
concurred.
! It would have been we'll if the Con-
vention had kept right along and en-
dorsed the entire Republican ticket,
but when it came to Sheriff it took q
departure and nominated Mr.. George
Geissel, the present incumbent. So
| long as the Convention had decided
upon doing this thing, we feel bound
to say that it could not have found a
better man in the party. Mr.. Gels
sci has made capable Sheriff, and
if he we're only a Republican We
should be glad to see him reelected
| For Judge Of Probate Mr.. Peter
Brick, the present County Attorney
was nominated. This is very unsat.
isfactory to many Democrats, who
feel that Judge Evans was deserving
of denomination. There will be q
large detection, rendering certain the
election of MI. D. B. Searle, the Re
publican nominee, who is in every
way qualified for the position, and
whom 1t would have the part oil
wisdom for the Convention to have
taken.
Mr.. Barney Overlook has been
Coroner Of Stearns county for the
better part of the last quarter-centu
ry, and the Convention, knowing thai
the Republicans had decided upor
making change this year, thought
it only fair that Barney himsel:
should furnish the first corpse fol
Deacon Bennett to "sit upon"
But, as we have already said, the
ticket is, in the main, the very best
that could have been selected. If il
had been filed out entirely from thu
Republican ticket it would have beer
unexceptionable. But the people viii
elect the other three candidates whom
the Convention failed to endorse, Sc
that, in the end, the result will be tn
, same.
