OUR TICKET.
The Men Whom the Republicans ask
You to Support.

1t is with pride and pleasure that we
refer our readers to the names at tie
head of our columns this week as the
nominees of the Republican County and
Assembly District Conventions, believ-
ing, as we do, that they comprise the
very best men for the positions to be
filed that could have been found.
At the head of the ticket stands the
name of that capable, upright, conscien-
tous and deservedly popular gentleman,
JOHN SCHUETTE,
who was nominated by reclamation with
the greatest enthusiasm, and who prom
ises to let no fair means be unemployed
to secure the election of the entire ticket.
Mr.. Schuette, whose immense popu-
larity became evident by his signal VIC
tory in the race against Hon. Jos. Villas
two years ago, for Senator, stands just
where he did then-respected by all,
with no blemish upon his record of two
years faithful service in the capacity of
home, honored by his associates at Mad
ison, and bringing with his other claims
to an election this fell that of experience
gained by the closestat tention to his leg
islative duties. Having been in Madi-
son last winter, we are in position to
know something of his standing there,
and have no hesitancy in saying that
among the gentlemen who composed one
of the ablest Legislative bodies ever con
vened in the Senate Chamber, none
stood higher in point of close attention
to business, greater effort to acquaint
himself with the character and probable
effect of every measure proposed, more
outspoken in denouncing wrong where
ever found, and maintaining the conf
dence and winning the respect of his fell
low workers than did John Schuette.
That he viii retain that confidence and
respect, that he viii be untiring in his
efforts to represent the wishes of his con-
stituents, that he will continue to be
known as man whom money cannot
tempt and in whom corruption and job
berry viii find an enemy, we believe as
firmly as that the sun will set this even
ing.
Mr.. Schuette-is known to be one of
our largest taxpayers, and for that req
son is more interested in the welfare of
the State and County than many others.
He knows that # every dollar of addi-
tional tex levied for unnecessary State
expenses, he must pay a portion he
knows that when thousand dollars is
put here and there by appropriation, he
and his tax paying constituents must
bear their proportion of it; and while
Mr.. Schuette was not inclined to be stin-
gy in cases which were really deserving,
he was always prompt to speak and vote
against any Legislative measure which
would Increase taxation and which was
unnecessary. Acting upon this princi-
pie, he was the means of saving thou
sands of dollars to the State to our per-
sonal knowledge.
Again, Mr. Schuette has done much
very much-to build up the business
and manufacturing interests of this city
and county. When any scheme was
started having for its object the advance
nent OF the interests of the people, he
was always among the first to subscribe
money and means to carry it out. Quiet
and unassuming, perhaps, he has never
missed an opportunity to say and do for
the county what he thought would bene-
tit 1t, and we believe that the people.
realizing that he is one of them and for
them, will show their appreciation by
electing him by rousing maiority. Mr..
Sehuette's interests are iden IDEAL With
