The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-10-26

popular MEMBER Ills O1Stflcb Is Deul-
ocratic by considerable majority, but
he is so far ahead of his competitor in
ability that we believe he will be elected.
Such will certainly be the case if the
voters of that District vote on the prin-
ciple that the best man should have the
office.
MICHAEL kELLNER,
the nominee of the Republicans of the
Second District, is too we'll known in
this county to need any words from US.
He is gentlman well fitted to represent
the people of his district in the Assem-
bly,, and if elected, will prove an active,
influential member. He has gone into
this campaign with determination to
wrest success from his opponent, and if
the voters in that district do their duty
he will certainly be their next represen-
tative.
In this district the convention nomi-
mated
PETER JOHNSTON,
gentleman peculiarly competent to re-
present it. AS in the case of Mr.. Schuet
tie, Mr.. Johnston is large taxpayer and
one who, in legislating for his consttu-
ents, must have personal interest in
his endeavors to secure the best bargain
for the least money. He is one of our
oldest residents, and has for years rep
resented his ward in the County Board
and City Council, where he has always
been regarded as one of the most care
full, outspoken and untiring members.
As our representative in the Legislature
he will do honor to himself and the peo-
pie who elected him, and no effort
should be spared on the part of his
friends to send him there.
HON. PETER REUTER-,
our nominee for Sheriff, was the candi-
date against Nh. Wittenberg two years
ago, and came very near being elected.
He resides at Two Rivers, where he is
engaged by the Badger State Manufac-
turing Co. in their large establishment.
Mr.. Reuter- is no politician, no wire
puller, and is not acquainted with the
lodges and tricks sometimes resorted to
by candidates to secure their election.
On the contrary, he is laboring man,
honest, competent and deserving, and
should receive the support of all who
desire to see such man elected to fill a
responsible position.
JOS. STEHLE
received the nomination for Treasurer
by reclamation. He has been City Trea-
surer for nearly two years. and the ex-
cellent manner in which he has discharg-
ed his duties is guarantee that in his
hands the funds of the County will be
well taken care of and strictly accounted
for. He is very popular among those
who know him, the Democrats not put
ting up candidate against him last
spring. He is, like MIR. Reuter-, Ger
nan, and one of the best in the city.
For Register of Deeds the convention
presented Mr..
| F. KOSTOMLATSKY,
one of the prominent Bohemian gentle
men of this city, a welI-educated, care
full, and thoroughly competent man. He
is well known throughout the county
| and stands an excellent chance of being
elected. Such result will be for the
best interests of the county and much to
be hoped for.
The nomination of that well-known
and highly respected Norwegian citizen
CT Cato,
! BOYER AAIUNDS,
as County Clerk, was certainly q judi
| cious move. Mr.. Amunds is one of the
thrifty farmers OF the county, is popular
and enjoys the confidence and esteem of
all who know him. If elected he will
| discharge the duties of his Office in a
highly satisfactory manner and prove
that he can keep the county's books as
well as make farming a success. We re-
gard this as one of the very best nomi-
nations made.
J. D. MARKHAM
was nominated for District Attorney.
That the nomination is q good one no
one will question. Mr.. Markham stands
at the head of the profession in this city
and the legal interests of the county
could not be placed in better hands.
With him as District Attorney there
would be no more hiring of lawyers to
conduct prosecutions, and offenders will
have to ''loe the mark" He brings age,
experience and unquestioned ability as
recommendations, and the interests of
the county demand that they be recog-
nized.
The selection of that old and trust
worthy citizen,
FAYETTE ARMSBY,
as candidate for County Surveyor. was
good one. Mr.. Arnnsby is acknowledge
ed to be the best and most reliable sur
veyor in the county, and will be elected
il ability to Fill the Office is any guaran-
tee.
RICHARD KLINGHOLZ,
the nominee for Coroner, will make an
excellent officer and will receive the en-
tire vote of his party. He holds the last
place in the strongest ticket ever put up
in this county.

sailors who desire the election of Sam
