Years

The Best Ticket Presented for Many
Years.
The Democrats have shown unusual
good sense 10 the selection of candidates
this year, and as whole have presented
the best ticket offered for years.
Mr.. Aster has proven himself to be
superior officer, and one of the most con-
scientious, upright men who ever held the
office of supervisor. He deserves second
election.
Mr., Henry is one of our active business
men. He formerly represented Hampton
in the board, and is a very capable and
excellent man.
Mr. Boyer is one of our oldest and
wealthiest citizens-a man of sterling in
tegrity, worth, and intelligence. He has
been several times member of the board
from Black Hawk, and was one of the
most efficient men in the board. These
three gentlemen are the candidates for
supervisors-an each and every one of
them is the superior in every respect OF
any man on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Joseph Ii. Kerr is one of our best
young men-an Arsenal emplOye for
), years-and well qualified for the position
of town clerk.
For assessor Mr.. Burgower has no sup
erior as an intelligent. upright, indepen-
dent man, of good judgement and of the
very highest integrity.

and intelligent business men, of pleasant
and agreeable manners, and would make
a very excellent public officer.

fully equal to that of the Republicans. Mr.

fair, impartial man. Maj. Wagner is {
highly intelligent man whose perceptions
of law are as clear as most lawyers Mr.

: practicing justices we ever had. He is
carpenter by trade. Mr. Wiggin is also

! Island about ten years. He came iron
! New Hampshire, where he held the sam
. office before he left He is a man abou
45 or 30 years of age, a good citizen,
capable man, and would make goo
d officer. Mr.. Birmingham is good and a
:. intelligent man, but as be says he will nc
qualify, it may be that the committee wi
conclude to fill the ticket with some othc
name-and it may be they will conclud
to leave the place blank. Their views al
