/ COUNTY.
We send to you greeting oul
Hast issue of the WEEkLY CouRIEn be
| fore election, Wednesday morning o
this week. II Is fitting that we Civ,
ron ) parting message before 20,
fall into line ON next Tuesday, Octo
Der 9th, for battle.
First, gentlemen, we utter no cant
no unmeaning language when we SAY
you have presented for your support
an excellent ticket. II. L. Tilton, fol
Senator, is . gentleman of culture, Of
excellent moral character, of staid
habits, AZ staunch republican ~ The
country can boast of, and gentle
man who, in the Senate Of this State
will most crcditably and honestly
represent you. We will digress here
for word, since It occurs to us just
now. A circular put forth in this city
against him, is prefaced by an article
In which It Is said that Mr.. Tilton
villified the ladies, &c. We wish ia
say that the above is untrue.
We make no venture in saying that
mot . man who uttered and had pub.
|lishsd that charge, has ever been, Of
Is to-day, more Of perfect gentleman
toward ladies than is r. L. Tilton.
More than this, It would shame, very
greatly shame some of those who paid
for the publication Of that circular Il
their department toward tho ladies
was thoroughly and fairly compared
with Mr.. Tilton's.
w. A. Nye and A. II. Burns, our
candidates for Representatives. are
both farmers, intelligent, honest, and
truo Republicans. Old residents Of
the county, they arc universally
known a. most worthy gentlemen.
w. w. Pollard, candidate for Treas
urcr, has already been honored by
our city with position, and has slways
discharged his duties faithfully and
we'll. He is gentleman, every inch
of him, and counts always his best
friends among those who know him
best.
Lee j. Michael, candidate for Sher.
id, we have known for fifteen years.
We knew him as private in the
ranks of the great Union army we
have known him from his boyhood
to his now mature manhood. We
know him well as quiet, industri-
Gus farmer, and always good work
er for long years in the Republican
ranks, and everywhere we have
known Lee to stand up the full meas
ure of man.
Thomas II. Shane, for Auditor, is
one Of the old citizens of Eddyville,
having resided in that place some
thing like twenty years, during which
time he has ever maintained most
excellent reputation. He is an espe-
cially genial accommodating gentle
man, and is as true as steel to a trust
committed to him.
Clay Wood, for School Superinten-
dent, needs no commendation from
us. Four years Of excellent service
speaks for him.
OF course VIM. II. McGlashon, our
present county Surveyor, will be re-
elected, and DR.. A. c. Olney ought to
whip Lathrop good, and we are not
sure but what he will.
We want to call the attention of
Republicans especially to Captains G.
A. Bryan and D. L. Hardy, for SUI i
pervisors. These selections are both
excellent, and let there be no failure
to stand faithfully by both of them.
Republicans examine your ticket
see that it is genuine, as given above.
1t is game often practiced to deceive
Republicans with bogus tickets. Look
sharp for them. Don't trade. 1t is
unjust and unfair to trade. Demo-
Gratis will try to induce you to vote
for some man whom they have hopes
Of clecting. while they agree to vote
for some one whom they have no
hope of beating. Again we say don't
trade. Republicans, we know you
want 10 win. We know You will feel
better, every one of you, after clean
sweep made by us, electing all our
ticket. There is one way to do it sure,
and that way is to have every vote
cast, if possible at least as near evory
vote cast as good hard work will ac-
complish. If You are going to vote,
yourself, see also that your neighbors|
vote. If yon straggle YOURSELF we
hope your Republican ncighbor will
take your case in hand. Don't say
"Well, one vote won't make any diff |
ference, and I can't very we'll spare
the time" 1t is cur experience that
the men who devote the least atten-
ton to their duty as voters, make the
most complaints about the laws and
the government of the country. Seven
Republican voters staying away from
the polls ON election day in each town.
ship, would make an aggregate of
ninety EIGHT votes, and might lose to
us the county, or. if not the county,
one or moro of our candidates. The
victory is ours easy if you sciU it 80,
Republicans. Give us fair Repub-
lican vote Of the county, and all doubt
about victory for us is dispelled.
