Warner, who was defeated for Secre-
tary of State, 2years ago, are also an
nOunced as candidates. These last
named gentlemen, we have heretofore
endorsed as worthy and popular, but it
they were not popular enough to re-
ceiye a majority of the votes two years
ago, there is a presumption that they
would again be defeated, for we know
of tie occurrence Of nothing to greatly
add to their popularity, or to increase
their chances of election. If the Re-
publican party would be successful in
the coming campaign, it must have q
new deal. 1t must present candidates
of unobjectionable antecedents and
unblemished integrity, untrammeled
by previous defeats, uncontrolled and
Iunintluenced by corporations, societies,
rings, OF individuals, free men, rep
sentatives Of free people. The third
district will willingly furnish one man
who will I'LL the bill, and il other parts
of the State are SO hard up for material
that they have to resort to those who
are Objectionable, we can do better
There is not a position in the State but
what could be creditably filled from the
! old Third Congressional District, and
we viii promise not to claim the honor
| of nomination for one who has been
so recently defeated. Republican, OAR

| The Kenosha TELEGRAPH very ear
nestly recommends the nomination Of
| Capt. Ernest &. Timme, Of K6n0sha,
for Secretary Of State. Capt. Timme
is a German by birth and has been a
resident of the State for 20 years; was
an active participant in the war Of the
Rebellion, losing an arm in the great
struggle for the supremacy of the ma
ton. Capt. Timme is undoubtedly
qualified for the position, else the lead
1 ing state papers would not speak the
good words they do for him. The Ger
qpd7li0 and Herald of Milwaukee,; the
Madison correspondent of the Chicago
| Times, the Sentinel, the Kenosha
Union, Democratic paper; the Osh-
kosh North Western, the State Journal,
land many others give him hearty en-
/ dOrsement. When such papers give q
man letter Of recommendation it
NATURALLY follows that he must have
something of the worthy and COM
Imendable in his character something
that fits him for the position. We
only hope that the best, not the ayaila-
BILE man, may be nominated. 1t is bet
tier to suffer defeat with a good man
than to aehiere victory with a poor
lone. Defean i'm such an instance be-
comes a victory. Having no acquaint-
ance with MI. Timme, we can only
take the say SO of the journals which
speak in high praise OF his qualifica-
tions for the position, which with us
is sufficient guarantee of fidelity and
capability.--GT07at County Herald.
Capt. Timme of Kenosha has been
Fsteadily gathering strength and friends
ever since his name was first men
toned. He is strongest where best
known. In Racine, Kenosha, and Wal
worth Capt. Timme is heartily en-
fdorsed. AS the candidate to represent
the German element on the ticket,
there is no better man in the State.
He has all the elements Of personal
popularity, fine business ability, in
short, first-class man for the Office
Racine Journal.
RACINE "FOLKETs AVIS FROM THE
SCANDINAVIAN BY B. MILLER.
We were very much pleased by re-
ceiving a friendly call at our office by
Capt Ernest G. Timme, of Kenosha,
and we were agreeably surprised when
the Captain addressed us in our native
tongue, especially as he is German
born American citizen. In former
issue of our paper we had occasion to
speak Of the Captain in very friendly
terms, and we must confess that We
have not changed our mind since. The
Captain is a very fine and competent
man, pleasant and courteous to all, and
he is held in high esteem by the Scan
dinavian people both in Racine and
Kenosha Counties. The Captain, as
we stated in former issue, is being
very heartily Endorsed by the Scandi-
ma Wan voters here as candidate for
Secretary of State, and if the Conven-
ton should nominate him he will be
elected without any doubt.
From the above it will be seen tn at
the candidacy of our worthy County
Clerk, Capt. Ernest G. Timme, is grow
| ing to large proportions; we could give
extracts from papers published in
other pats of our State, but we have
selected from the southern portion
only to show that he is popular at
home, which in our judgment is the
best recommendation. The Captain is
receiving many letters from his COM
rades, offering their assistance and
good will in his behalf. He is not Al
man who will push himself for any
position; he believes in the good old
time maxim that the office should seek
the man, and not rice rerSG. His
friends, his comerades, and his country
