A SHERIFF PROTECTING BIRDS.

For the last three years robin has
built a nest in one of thetreeS on the
east side Of the Court House, and has
always been protected from being rob-
bed of her nest, her eggs, or her young.
The Sheriff last summer threatened
several times to arrest parties if they
robbed the nest. The bird has come
again this year, and has built her nest
in the same place, which shows that
birds will seek the same spot for rear
ing their young when they see that
they are protected. Omaha Bee.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
1t is with feelings Of profound graft
fication that we notice the favorable
mentions made by the press throughout
the State, in regard to the candidacy of
Capt. Ernest G. Timme, Of Kenosha,
for Secretary of State. We know that
no better choice could be made. He is
qualified for the place, his integrity is
beyond suspicion, and is q gentleman in
every axceptati0n of the term. AS we
have heretofore mentioned, Capt. Tim
ms is q German by birth, born in the
city Of Werden, on the River Rhur-
Kreis, Duesberg Bezerk Dusseldorf,
Prussia. He came to this country when
quite q lad, and has been a resident of
this State for 20 years. He has grown
up under our free institutions, and is
thoroughly AmericaniZed, and at the
same time a German, and respected by
his countrymen as such. He is popu-
lar not only with the foreign element
that composes in part the body polite,
but with the American portion of the
community he is looked upon as an
efficient officer, and a worthy citizen.
! But there is another feature which
seems to us cannot be ignored without
going back on and giving the lie to the
expressed professions of both political
parties as being the friends of the dis
abled soldiers. Capt. Timme is physi-
cally disqualified for many positions in
life-haying lost his left arm in the
battles of our country, and in our judg-
ment the Republican party cannot pass
by the claims Of one who is in every
way worthy Of the confidence and graft
itude of the people.
Let the Republican party at the COM
ing convention nominate Capt. Ernest
G. Timme for Secretary of State and
the people will show by their votes
that the disabled soldiers are not for
gotten. and that they are willing to re-
compense them for the sacrifices they
have made for us and our common
country.
The following extracts taken from
the press of our State, speak for them
selves:
[Germania, Milwaukee,
Capt. E. G.. Timme is favorablv
spoken Of, especially in the southern
portion Of our State, as a German can
didate for Secretary Of State on the Re
publican ticket Capt. t. was a
gallant soldier and lost an arm in the
battles of the late war.
sas@T [Herold, Milwaukee,
We notice that Capt. e. G. Timme of
Kenosha, is being very favorably men
toned as the Germans candidate for
Secretary Of State.
Madison Cor. Of the Chicago Times.
Ernest G. Timme,a German of Keno
sha, is announced as candidate for the
Republican nomination for Secretary
of State, against Hans B. Warner, of
Pierce CO., a prominent Norwegian,
who was the Republican candidate for
that Office in 1876, and was beaten by
Peter Doyle by majority of 1900 or
1900 votes.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1877-06-07

the war / have seen but little of Capt.
Timme, but the fact that he has been
retained by the people of Kenosha
County in the position of county clerk,
since 1866, is sufficient evidence that
his faithfulness as a soldier is carried
equally into his life as a citizen and
retains for him the confidence and
esteem Of his neighbors and friends.
His record as good soldier, and the
fact that he gave an arm in the service
of his country should gain for him
the warm support of all our soldiers
of the late war as well as those of our
citizens who still believe that the men
who made such sacrifices for their
country are entitled to special consid-
GRAFTON at the hands Of their country
men. especially when to such a recon-
mendation is added that Of ability and
integrity. Yours very truly,
G. B. BINGHAM.

The Beloit Free Press has a candi-
date for the office of Secretary of State
in the person of O. G. Johnson. Whilst
we have no i'll feeling towards Mr.. j.
and are willing to admit all his good
qualities, still we think that the Re
publican party can not afford, at the
present time, t0nominate a man whose
strength has been tested and found
wanting. Mr.. Johnson was the Re-
publican nominee for State Treasurer
four years ago, and was beaten on cleo
ton day by his opponent Mr.. Ferdi-
nand Kuehn by 1875 votes. He ran be-
hind his ticket in his own county. One
dose Of that kind ought to satisfy any
man, as we'll as the party; and as there
are several prominent and influential
Scandinavians mentioned as candidates
for State Treasurer, who if nominated
would be elected-and if the Scandina-
VANS get one place on the State ticket
they will be satisfied.
