The Republican County Ticket.


ton, held at Jefferson last Wednesday, the
18th inst. Considering the bad weather,
the convention was large one, nearly ev-
cry town in the county being represented.
The best of harmony and good feeling pre-
val led throughout the entire proceedings,
al the delegates uniting in presenting to
tue people of Jefferson county ticket
worthy of their entire support, and at least
entitled to success at the polls.
For Senator the choice fell on
HON. N. s. GREENE
Of Milford, an old and respected citizen of
the county, and one in whom the people Of
the district can implicitly trust to look af-
ter their interests in the legislature. The
questions of vi Importance to the people
which come before our legislators at Mad
ison are not those of political nature but
rather concern their business interests. 1t
therefore behooves every community to
send its best and most reliable men to the
legislature. 1t especially concerns the city
of Watertown that the right kind Of man
is elected Senator of this county. We have
had the sad experience Of having man in
the Senate representing Jefferson county,
who totally disregarded the wishes of our
best citizens, and used his influence against
the most important interests of the city of
Watertown, and all for what? Because he
dare not offend certain men, fearing a loss of
eotes thereby achen he aoouzd again come for
vard. as he expected, to ask for their sufrages
This man is a candidate for rec election to
the Senate from this county-a downright
insult to the leading citizens of Watertown,
no matter to which Of the two political par
ties they belong. Against this dodger and
misrepresentation the Republican Convention
have nominated N. S. Greene, gentleman
OF legislati We experience, character and sta
bility, and the people of Watertown owe it
as duty to themselves to give him their
undivided support. The well-deserved pop
ularity of Mr.. Green leads us to believe
that he will receive large vote in all parts
of the county.
JONAS H. SLEEPER,
Of Watertown. is the candida for Sheriff
one Of the best and strongest nominations
in the list. Mr.. Sleeper's superior business
attachments make him peculiarly we'll
qua lifted for the position, and if he is elect
ed Sheriff, none need apprehend that the
duties of the Office will not be discharged
with fearlessness, promptness and efficiency.
Ia Jonas q. Sleeper, Jefferson county would
have a sheriff in whom all would feel
just pride.
CALVIN B. SKINNER,
Of Watertown, received the nomination for
District Attorney, deserved selection, and
one emnently proper to be made, Mr..
Skinner, being lawyer of fine standing at
since our county has had proper person to
fill this important Office, but with Mr..
Skinner in the position its duties would be
properly looked after, and the cases on the
part of the state managed with carefulness
and ability.
C. z. WILSON,
OF Palmyra, is the nominee for Clerk of the
Court, one Of the most important of the coun-
ty Offices. The convention was fortunate
IN naming for the Office one so well qualified
for the discharge of its duties as Mr.. Will
son, and his election as Clerk Of the Court
would be a credit to the county.
THEODORE RACK,
of Watertown, was the choice for the office
of Treasurer, and the nomination could not
have fallen upon better or more fitting
person in every respect. Mr.. Rack has
been for a number of years one of the lead
ing and among the most reliable of our
business men, and we have no hesitation
IN saying that as guardian of the county's
money, he would prove himself to be the
right man in the right place." His host

their confidence and esteem.
For the Office of Register,
WILLIAM SCHULTZ,
of Watertown, was selected and here the
convention showed its good sense, and clear
ly indicated determination to present
none but sound, competent and popular
men to the people of the county. Mr..
Schultz has gained An enviable reputation
for thoroughness and trustworthiness in all
his business relations which he carries with
him into the discharge of official duties.
making a reliable and accommodating
officer. Four years ago Mr.. Schultz made
a gallant run for County Treasurer against
great odds, being defeated by only 6 votes.
His friends intend giving him a good back

never had better register than William
Schultz would make

of Koshkonong, was chosen the nominee
