VOTE THE TICKET.
II is a matter Of pride to every citizen
that the several Offices Of this county have
been administered during III: present
term with efficiency AMI fidelity. No
public in:ercs, has been neglected, and
no trust betrayed Each officer La. r..
gardcd it rs his duty, thss he should not
only perform his work properly, but that
he should. in alt other respects, conduct
himself as gentleman. Courtesy in
every dcpar ,nacut has been character.
:s,ic. 1t any man has called upon Il
county officer for information, he has
obtained i, without being made to feel
tina. somebody is condescending in fur.
nishing it to him. The present corps
have the rare faculty Of doing what is
required If them without os;en,a,iou or
pomp'sity--,hcya are rendered neither SUI
ptrcilious nor vain by the POSITIONS which
they occupy, aud such men the people
desire to retain in Office. This is evident
from the fact that with but single cx-
ception, the present incumbents wer, re.
nominated with surprising Inanimity. 1t
is u matter oi satisfaction that the late
caucuses were in most instances we'll at
,cnded-that in them the membership Of
The party expressed its will, for the same
men who helped 10 nominate the ticket
will be anxious t. have it elected, and
will contribute their votes and their in.
flucnce to the accomplishment Of ,ha.
end. 1t is true that there are few men
formerly leaders in the party who were
not satisfied with the nominations, but
they begin to see that il is idle for them
I" fight against destiny. The people are
a mighty and majestic power-they arc
greaur than leaders and higher than any
dignitary whom they create. a disaflec-
ton may exist among small numhcr
but the masses are loyal. and will Loyalty
support the candidates whom they have
nominated. Except in the case of Mr..
Roy The candidate for Reg lister q: Deeds,
the ticket is composed Of men who have
been tried, OF men who have shown that
they are both competent and honest.
When msy We hope to find d man who
can fill the Auditors office more accept.
ably than does r. r. Mcintyre: To whom
shall we look with more confidence. to
have charge Of the criminal class
and to do the work devol, ing upon the
Sheriff, than We may to H. o. Hall. What
attorney in the county has greater ability
TO defend the Interests Of the county in
the courts, or who has more willingness
to d" duty faithfully and tearlessly than
Lafayette French: Where is there Il more
incorruptib!e Judge, or more faithful
and pains;aking official than Samuel
Hacier? This array Of names for these
positions carries with il that wonderful
strength which is inspired only by full
confidence. The people know the men
whom they have nominated and trust III
them. Other candanda:es there arc who
are honorable and efficient. bet they hold
party views which repnbli cans cannot
accept. Such men, il in The minority
must expect defeat. They may be our
neighb"rs and our friends, or our business
patrons, but these facts must not lie al
lowed to influence republicans against IN
umexccp,ionab!e party ticket. ii we
prove true 10 ourselves. to cur PRINCIPLES
and to our candidates, We shah not Only
succeed in holding control OF public If:
fairs, but We shall ultimately bring our
opponents to see that we a:e both right
and consistent, and thus induce them to
c"st their lot with Us. 1t will no, d. to
say that II is unnecessary to keep within
party lines in the choice Of local officers
this is fatal political hercsy. Every
democrat works for the success Of his
Party locally aud generally, and the cleo
ton Of a democrat in a republican dis.
trict is hailed BY them rs an important
conquest. 1t strengthens our opponents,
and we.kens our own dctenc:$. II IT,
publicans had hitherto been true TO the
behcsts OF their own party ii would have
been impossible to-day 10 array such
mighty power against the progress OF
republican ideas .s the democrats are op-
posing us with today. The man who
protesting to be Il republican votes the
democratic ticket, or even part of it,
is not what he ;ttcnds to tie. and is II
dctrimcnt rather than /, bcncfi, to the party
