OUR NOMINEES.

At the head of this column we present
the nominees of the various Conventions
held in this county on Monday, to which
we point with pride for the reason that
they are men whose election will best
snbserve the interests of our people and
are such as will enlist the hearty sup
port of those who are willing to lay
partisanship aside and vote for men
VIII ose election will insure the greatest
amount of good.
For Member of Assembly in the First
District, chat well known and old reliable
German gentleman, John Voss, is before
the people for their suffrage. He Is a
highly educated, thoroughly capable
man, and in electing him the voters of
that District will show that they appre-
ciate true merit and desire a representa-
tive in the Legislature who will be an
honor to the District. He stands well
among the people, and the prospects of
his election by a handsome majority are
fattering.
The people of the Second District
displayed good sense in the nomination
of DR.. r. :. O'Connel, a young Irish
man who III the two years of his resi-
iderce in Cato has not only built up a
good business III the practice of his pro-
fession. but has made a host of friends
among people of all nationalities and
political creeds, who will be pleased to
show their appreciation of his many
sterling qualities by electing him to a
seat in the State council. The doctor Is
man in the prime of life, fully awake
to the necessities of the day, is highly
educated, and will take with him into
the Office all those qualities which are
requisite to a full discharge of the re-
sponsibilities which will rest upon him.
He is a native of New York State. He
will draw largely from his opponents
vote, and the people of his District are
to be congratulated upon placing THEN
interests in the bands of a gentleman
who is so well qualified to take care of
them The doctor will be one of the
prominent men OF the next Assembly,
and we should be greatly surprised if he
did not give his constituents reason to
be proud of their selection.
Of Hon. r. d. Smart, the nominee
in the Third District, who represented
the people SO faithfully and well in the
Assembly last winter, it is hardly neces-
sary to speak. He at once took his
place in Madison as a leader, and was
regarded as one of the most influential
and active members of the House. He
Is thoroughly acquainted with all the
Legislative machinery, and the people OF
This District would surely be wrong in
putting another in his place. He was
elected last year by over 800 majority,
and while feeling confident of his cleo
ton, we would urge upon those voters
who differ with him politically to think
twice before removing such powerful
honest and upright man from the posi-
ton he filled so we'll. He had few equals
in the Assembly, and no peers. Such a
man should be returned by an over
whelming majority.
The Republicans -of the county, al
their conv ention last Monday, put men
in the field as candidates whom it will be
pleasure to support.
Mr.. A. NJ. Richter, ex-Clerk Of the
Board of Supervisors, the present nomi-
nee for Superintendent of Schools, is
one of our Oldest and most respected
citizens, gentleman of high attainments
and an e lueator of many years expert
ence. He taught for number Of years
on the South Side, giving universal sat
isfact;on, ~ Il as County Superintendent t
VIII have 8 finished elncation and long
experience 70 assist him in the discharge
of his duties. v lille we regard Mr..
Wall er. his opponent, as a gentleman
poss 's. i az many of tie requisite quail
tications to ill the office acceptablv, we
mot but In / that Mr.. Richter, who
has for so many yeas successfully fol-
lowed teaching with a remarkable degree
of success, is better qualified byre:son of
that practical experience which age alone
can give; aud feeling satisfied that in
any event the SCI oil interests of this
county cam o ST fer, we unhesitatinglv
recommend Mr.. Ri, hjer to the consider
alton o those who lay party prejudices
aside and elevate the one whose qualifi-
Gators would best serve HE public in
terests. Mr. Richter would be worthy
successor to Mr.. kirwan, and successful
" prosecute the good work upon which
our recent Superintendent had entered.
He has devoted the best part of his life to
the cause of education, and those who
are in position t. understand the favor
sbe results att lined by him will not be
SLOW to show their appreciation of his
merits by bringing his great practical
knowledge to serve the public. A better
selection could not have been made by
