THE REPUBLICAN TICK Eft.

s. j. Sanborn Of Racine, was nominated
for the Office of MEMBER of the Lcgisla-
turr, almost without opposition. He is.
an old resident Of the county, a farmer, a
sound Republican, a man OF sense, noted
for his honesty and integrity Of purpose.
He is familiar with men and measures.
lie knows something Of the value Of good
government having fought several years
to maintain and defend it, He is alive to
the necessities of the State, and will hold
no obscure place in the honorable body to
which he will he elected by the full re-
publican vote of the county.
II. A. Brown, of Brownsville, is the sec:
ond candidate for Legislative honors. Mr..
Brown has lived ut his present place Of
residence about twenty years and has
done much toward developing the rcsour-
ccs, organizing the society, and establish
ing the institutions Of the county. He is
in tho prime Of life, and the vigor of
health, radically republican but tolerant
of tho opinions and feelings Of others.
lie served one term in the Legislature sew.
cral years ago, and will carry with him to
his seat a valuable knowledge of the forms
Of Legislative proceeding, and the means
of obtaining the enactment of desirable

port Of tho party.
II. 0. Hall was rcnominated for Sheriff,
IN Office which he has held nearly two
years. Although there were two other
candidates for the position he had a ma.
jority of the convention on the first ballot
and on motion o: Burr Maxwell, one o!
his opponents, he was declared unani-
mously the nominee. liz is courteous and
efficient in the discharge Of official duty,
and Will not only get The strength of the
party but some votes from these who
think that men arc of more consequence
than patty.
PIT. Mcintyre was rcnominatcd by &C
clamation for the office which lie now fills
with SO much efficiency and satisfaction
to his constitucnts,-thato Of County Audi
tor. This was delicate and deserved
compliment to a gentleman and faithful
public servant. The character of his work
is his best recommendation, and scarcely
needs supplemcnting by a newspaper CO.
dorscmcnt. 1t not unfrcqucntly happens
that men build for themselves monuments
in the hearts of the people more enduring
than any that may he carved out ofmarblc
or cast in bronze, and thus Mr.. Mcintyre
has wrought his own way-asscrted his
right to recognition by what he has done.
The people like to vote for such 4 man.
Lafayette French, the present County
Attorney, proved to be 4 second time the
choice of the party. His office is one
which requires not only ability and tech
nical learning, but good judgment, skill,
and integrity. In one sense that officer is
the mediator, standing between the pco-
pie and persons charged with having vio-
lated the law. A man who has the
ability to discern correctly, and the integ-
rity to act honestly in that office is indis.
pensahlc to the administration of Justice,
and such Mr.. French has shown himself
to be, and the action Of the people next
November will attest the appreciation of
those qualities in the party's candidate
for County Attorney.
Samuel Hartcr, after two years of trial
was again designated as suitable person
to hold the. responsible, VIC might say, al
most sacred position of Judge of the Pro
bate Court In his administration of that
office Mr.. Hartcr has manifested degree
of probity and good sense which make
him a very acceptable candidate for re-
election. He is careful, thorough, and
exact in his official transactions, thus
proving to the people that he is safe
person TO whom TO entrust the final adj.
justment Of business which at the bchest
of death is likely to be left unfinished.
That he will be elected there can be no
doubt.
G. A. Roy, resident of the village OF
Leroy, was selected as a candidate for
the Office Of Register of Deeds. 1t will be
remembered that this gentleman served
as member Of the County Committee
two years ago. He may not be generally
known except in the Southern part of the
County, for he is one of those modest I'm.
men who make themselves
known only by what they do. Mr.. Roy
is quiet man, one who attends to his
business and does his duty faithfully. lie
was soldier in the late war, and bears
the marks of honorable service. For
many years the people Of his town have
thrust upon him the Office of Town Clerk,
even against his rcmonstrancc. Now they
say to him "comc up higher" He po.
sesscs all requisite qualifications for the
performance Of the business of the office.
He will be found to have that genial man.
ncr and that cortcous respect for the ri ghts
and feelings of all which usually charac.
tcrizc gentleman Of integrity and cul.
turc. We heartily approve of the choice
of the convention, and unhcsltating'y re.
the candidate to the support of
the party.
Mr.. G. II. Allen, Of Grand Meadow, was
selected again as proper person for
County Surveyor, he having shown him
self to he accurate and prompt in the dis.
charge Of his duty. The selection is emf.
ncntly proper. and will be heartily ratified.
DR.. r. A. Barnes, of this city, was des,
ignated for the office of Coroner. The
long residence here of the Doctor, his
eminent medical skill, and his previous
efficient incumbcncy of the same position
serve 10 commend him to the people, who
will no doubt give him very cordial sup.
