The Ticket.

The Republican ticket nominated
last Saturday, for district and eoun-
ty offices, is such an one, in every
respect, as commeDds itself to the
people of Lyon county. It is COM
posed of good and trustworthy
men-each of whom received his
nomination fairly and honorabIy, so
far as we have been able to learn.
For Representatives we have L.
B. Kellogg in this, the SD district.
He is well known here, and his
nomination gives almost universal
satisfaction. For some years he was
President of the State Normal
school, and is possessed of thor
ough education. After leaving the
Normal he studied law with Rug
giles 81 Plumb, and has already
achieved a good reputation at the
bar, and met with encouraging sue
cess. lie did not seek the place at
all, but his fellow citizens, believ-
ing he would make a good repre-
sentative, nominated him. He will
go into the matter with his usual
energy and enthusiasm, determined
to do his duty by the district, and
we do not believe his friends will
be disappointed in his next winters
work. We can cheerfully and earn
estly support our nominee for rep
resentative, because he comes up to
the Jeffersonian requirements.
A. w. Plumb received the nomi-
nation in the SD district. He is q
farmer in Fremont township. He
is almosta product of Lyon county
soil, coming here small boy some
20 years ago. He is full of energy,
is an Intelligent and sound Republic
can of the progressive school, and
will be found working among the
ranks of those who are laboring for
the truest and best interests of Kan
sas. Mr.. Plumb, like Mr.. Kellogg,
WILLY believe, make a good repre-
sentative. He will have upon his
shoulders the responsibility of rep
resenting one of the most intelli-
gent constituencies in the State, and
we have not doubt but that he
will do it intelligently and faith
fully.
or the county ticket nothing need
be said. Judge Cunningham was
endorsed for the third time for pro-
bate Judge, a compliment of which
he is justly proud. All know how
faithfully and ably he has discharg-
ed the duties of that important of
flee. Mr.. Frederick, for Clerk of
Court, was complimented by Sec
ond nomination, which is the best
that the people are well
satisfied with his administration.
He is one of the popular men of
Lyon county, and it is not an easy
job to get away with him. T. N.
Sedgwick's nomination for Attor-
ney is peculiarly gratifying 10 his
friends throughout the county,
whose name is legion. Tom Sedg-
wick is a success in whatever he I'M
dertakes, and "the boys" believe in |
him. lie will bring to the discharge
of this office his usual energy, and
shrewdness, and if he does not per-
form the duties of the Office we'll, |
we are greatly mistaken. o. B. |
Wharton. who was nominated for
School Superintendent, is a new
man in public matters. He has been
engaged as q teacher in this county
for a number of years. He is q |
graduate of the State Normal School |
and brings to the discharge of his |
duties q good experience, energy
and uprightness of character. It is |
a good sign when a mans neighbors
support him for public position, and |
we note that the people of the coun-
ty, who know him best, were warm
in his support. The whole ticket is
one which the people can confident
ly support.
