lican candidate for Prosecuting Attor-


ney He is a man of unexceptiona-
BILE character, who may be depended
upon to do his duty, if elected, with
out fear or favor. He formerly filed
the Office of Clerk of the Court, by
appointment for the unexpired term
of the late R. W. Spargur, and ac-
quilted himself well in that position.
For Sheriff, the Republican candi-
date is VIM G. Newell, of Marshall
tp., one of the best young men in the
county, as all acknowledge who know
him, and one every way qualified for
the responsible Office to which he as
pires. He is a farmer and mill own
er, has an extensive acquaintance in
the Eastern part of the county, and
will run ahead of his ticket wherever
he is known. His election may safe
ly be put down as ''sure thing"
E. G. Boatright, Esq, our candi-
date for Auditor, is q farmer and
merchant of Russell Station, 6 miles
west of Hillsboro, on the railroad.
He is an active, enterprising and in
telligent citizen, member of the M.
E. Church, and is well and favorably
known to the people of that part of
the county. His popularity outside
of his own party is shown by the fact
that he holds the Office of Justice of
the Peace in a strongly Democratic
township. He has formidable op-
ponent in Mr.. DeBruin, the present
Auditor, but if the Republicans turn
out, as we believe they will this year,
the chances are that our friend ''Eg."
Gas the boys call him for short, and
because he is ''good Eg. y will come
out ga leetle ahead" Though it will
be close race.
DR.. ". S. Patterson, our candidate
for Treasurer, is too well known to
the people of the county to need in
PRODUCTION to our readers. His long
residence in New Lexington, as
successful practising physician, has
given him an extensive acquaintance
throughout the northern and central
part of the county, and personal
which will add greatly to
his strength as candidate. We are
to say positively, that if
he intends to fill the office
himself, and not by deputy, as has
been industriously reported with
view to injure his prospects.
George Stevens, our present pop
ular Recorder, was nominated for a
second term without opposition, and
we have no doubt the people will
endorse the nomination and re-elect
him by handsome majority. He is
well worthy of the compliment.
Mr.. Charles Good, our candidate
for Commissioner, is all that his
name implies-good in every respect.
We feel confident that he will make
a good run, and good Commission
er, if the people have the good sense
and good fortune to elect him. But
be has Lomg-winded and popular
and it will take good run
ming to beat him.
Every body knows "Burch" Miller,
and that he has made one of the best
[nfrmary Directors the county has
had He will be reelected of course
that's understood.
For Coroner, M. M. Barrere of
Newmarket tp., the present incum-
oent, should also be-relected, and we
nave no doubt he will be, as he has
illed the office, so far as we have
heard, to the entire satisfaction of the
people.
