HpCK AND HEs1NG.
The interest i'll tho poiiticnl campaign in
this county centres in tho contest between
AIr, HuuK and Nfr. IiEs1No for tho County
Treasurership,- ono leading the respect
ablo, law-abiding, and taz-paying element Of
tl,e city Dor the real Aght will be in the city,;
aud tue other, the disreputable. law-breaking,
tax-eating element. Both candidates arc
Germans, but here the parallel stops. Their
auteecdents, their political recordu, their po-
litical purposes, tleir constituencies, mud
their sympRtlies, I'll differ. They difIer most
of all in the fact that 11r. HucK will have the
support Of the responsibility, the morality,
the honesty, and the intelligence, not only of
Americans. but also OF Germans, whereas Mr..
HEs1xo will have the support Of every thief,
gambler, blac1sleg, saloon-loafer, aud bum
mer in tho city. This will mako little differ
ence to him, ns Ae regards oll men rs "soting
CATTLE" and, from this point Of view, tie
rotes Of thieves and blacklegs and bummers
ase just Us good MS those of respectable pco-
pic, aud will help him just as much to pay
his creditors by getting the County
Tseaaurership. Mr.. HrcK has the support
of tic better classes Of al nationaltics OF
the lending business men, tho merchants,
the n,aunfacturers, traders, bankers, md the
respectable people in all classes. It's doubt
fn1 whother he enn count upon tho support
of single tlisreputablo person. His asxo-
ciations have not been with that clasB. He
has no acquaintance among them. He has
no claim upon them, and they Aavo no claim
upon him. They are 3Ir. HEsEa's con-
stitucnts, aud we preau1no there is no Repub-
llcan ready to do the dirty work necessary to
saver the bond that exists between them.
There ate other differences between the
two men. s1r, HucK is q young man, with
all the geniality and enthusiasm Of youth.
31r. HEs1No is man old in political iuiqui-
Ties, callonsed with political bartering nnl
huckstering, in whom arrogance takes the
place Of geniality, md browbeating and
HucK will attract voters by his admirable
personal qualities md Ills sterling character.
Mr. HEs1So will drive them with threat
and with whip, with browbcating and
with absolute force. Ono claas, and the
largest, Of Alr. HrsIsa's constituents will
veto for him because they cau only ply their
aiareputablo canings with tho Devil-Fiah
party in power. Tho other class will vote
for him because they dare not do otherwise.
NIr. Hucz's political record IL clear. He has
always been consistent, straightforward
Republican, and has always voted the Re-
publican ticket, A1r. HEs1so's political rec
ord In not clear, 14c Inns not always beon
straightforward Republican. He is pro-
fcss!onnl politician; always ready to chango
lis coat, He is now in the camp Of tho
Democracy, and Is row, and always will be,
ready to make any trads or adopt any prn-
ciples that will secure Office for him. The
) only object OF his life IL political power md
!. office, and any road that leada to thcua he
0 Will tsovol.
9 The Republican Convention did well to
:, place Mr. Hucx at the head OF their ticket
,. not only because lo Is man Of irreproacha
ole character, aud has never been politician
