COUNTY OFFICERS.

The call for the Tama Comfy Republi-
can Convention may be found in this
issue of the CHRONICLE. There will be
considerable work to be done by this con
vention and we hope our friends in the
different parts of the county will see to it
that their Townships are represented. Let
US have good representation.
Among the other duticsto II Apperform-
ed at tllseenv ention will be the placing
in nom "a of a candidate for Clerk of
the DisSV Md Circuit Courts, County
Recorder, and one Supervisor. We have
never spoken 10 our present Clerk and
Recorder on the subject of rc-romina-
ton, but suppose they would not refuse
if were it rendered them. And while We
do not wish to detract from any of their
predecessors in the least we do not believe
those two offices have ever been flied
with more obliging, faithful crcompetcnt
men than Mcssrs. G. J. StcYens and j. B.
NJ. Bishop. During the past fifteen
months they have been in Office they have
been prompt and efficient, always willing
TO do anything to accommodate the
hundreds with whom they have come in
contact, and denomination would be no
more tina simple justice and u fit recog-
milton of their public worth.
AS regards the candidate for Supervisor
we have not heard single name mention
cd-though there will doubtless be enough
when tho tine comes The gentleman
whose term expires-Mr S. w. Hutton
was elected on the Anti Monopoly ticket
3 years ago, though we are informed that
hc was always a r publican previous to
the Autobiography movement. He has
always, we believe, done his duty rs he
saw it, He has been Il careful, honest
and efficient Supervisor, and has worked
for the best interests of Tama County.
Whether or not he will be candidate for
denomination We are not prepared to say.
Be sure and don't forget the date of the
Convention-Saturday, May 9th.
