were so prompt as those of Major
Dunning. AS to his politics, he was
a Union soldier, and during the last
campaign never denied being in full
sympathy with the Republican party,
but running as an Independent candi-
date he took no sides. The very fact
of his submitting his name 10 Re
publican convention is all unmistak-
able earnest of his political conviction
and predictions The promptness
with which.he executes all processes
put into his hands by the court, lis
officers aud the bar has rendered him
very popular. That he will receive
The hearty support of The Republican
party OF Scdgwick count and ;hat lie
will be elected by an ovew helniug
majority there is not the shadow of a
doubt.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Sedgwick coanty has always been
urers. No man has ever yet held the
position that would not sooner sacri-
flee himself than suffer the funds of
the people to count out minus. For
four years the people have been try
ing John Tucker in most honored
position. where the duties were com
pick, as they were trying, and he has
proved faithful and trusty servant.
As q reward and token of the party's
confidence and esteem he was noini-
mated over the heads of two as good
men as this or any other county can
boast. The Endorsement of the con-
vention's choice by the public at the
polls next month, is foregone con-
clusion. That any Republican will
ever have cause to regret his vote for
and support of man who has proved
in the past SO accommodating and
efficient an officer we have not the
least apprehension.
COUNTY CLERK.
Edgar A. Dorsey, of Union town.
ship, was nominated for county clerk
by an overwhelming majority. He is
the Youngest man Oh the ticket, but
as township trustee, which position
he holds at present, and as the secre-
tary-- of the County Grange, in both
positions he has abundantly proved
his capacity for the intricate and re-
sponsible duty of keeping the ac-
counts of a county like Sedgwick.
Mr.. Dorsey has been resident of the
county since IL, and we have never
heard a single utterance detrimental
to his character as man, as q citizen
or as g public officer. A fine account
ant, good and ready penman, and
energetic in everything he undertakes.
the new board of commissioners will
find their business in shape, as
will the treasurer his tax roll, and the
Auditor and Secretary of State the
various reports the clerk makes I'M
der the law. Except for cause no
competent county clerk should ever
be changed-for experience has DEM
years ago in this State that
the more experience county clerk
has the better it is for the tax payer
and we hope our new clerk, when
may long fill the place.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
Charley Caldwell, as he is common
Iy called, has been in business in and
IN the employ of business men of this
city from the first. In no position or
trust has he proved unfaithful. AS to
his competency, as to his standing
IS a citizen, or as to his principles the
question will never be raised. He is
. good man and his popularity with
lis party was very distinctly shown
n his nomination for the portion of
Register of Deeds, in the most closely |
fight probably ever occur
ing in the county. G. S. Caldwell |
will be the next Register of Deeds.
OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
In the first district the nominee,
frank w. Chase, of Park, is born
bred Republican, Re-
publican from instinct and education,
in its principles, its organi-
alton and its organs. Mr.. Chase
anne to this valley and county in
february, 1870. He is a native OF
calhoun county, Michigan, served
hree years in the Union army and
hen studied medicine at the great
University of his native State at Ann
Arbor. Pills potions and surgical in
not being to his taste, he
ettled down to quietly tilling the
oil, in which he has proved success.
o quiet and undemenstrative is he
nat he had been in our Office score
times before we even learned these
lets, and then not from him, but
ON another. He will make q care
ii, conscientious and wise commits
oner for the whole county, and in
hose hands the interests Of the up
er district will never suffer. AS to
lie county and its affairs, probably no
rivate citizen in the county is better
Dsted. Frank w. Chase's nomina- I
ON is most heartily endorsed.

The nominee for commissioner from |
