and are justly and properly respected
by the public. The nominees are all
clean handed men. IF the eloquent
and genial Mr.. Quarles can afford, even
for brief period, to leave his pursuits
to serve the public, it is we'll 1t is
not necessary for the TELEGRAPH to
speak of his qualification, as his fideli-
ty and capacity are we'll known to the
public. Is he capable? Is he honest :?
To these questions this paper can give
an affirmative answer. Mr.. Timme,
the nominee for County Clerk is a
thoroughly trained, we'll anchored bus
mess man and any prosperous business
establishment could well afford to pay
him much larger salary than the law
provides for the performance Of the
official duties of the Office he holds.
That he will rob the county; rob the
rich or the poor one ever dreamed.
1t has been untruthfully represented
that he is rich. He has to be sure
great wealth of capacity, but not a
great supply of the little sinners :"
that carry the day against waiting and
Impatient creditors. He pays for his
daily bread and hopes with good econ
omy to meet the interest on his engage
ments for the forbearance of money
When the wal was in progress many
remained at home to " cuss" the gov.
eminent, but the patriotic Mr.. Timme
went forward with the "brave boys in
blue to the front.
Nh. Martin Thomas, the candidate
for County Treasurer, is careful, Ca
pable and prudent officer. He masters
as we are advised, the duties Of the Of
flee completely and whoever meets with
him, finds an agreeable companion,
no one need lie awake nights to see
where the money goes while Mr..
Martin holds the keys of the treasury.
We need hardly speak of Myron A.
Baker, the candidate for District At
torney. To use a nautical phrase
GO He is we'll formed and we'll anchor
ed.' He is thoroughly efficient in the
prosecution Of the criminal classes
and cannot be misled by designing
individuals into using the machinery
of the law to serve the malign pur-
poses Of rings and designing men
These qualifications constitute him an
exceedingly valuable officer for the
county.
The Sheriff's office should be filed
by man of standing and worth. The
election of Mr.. Wilson would place
the affairs Of that Office in the hands
Of "a man and a gentleman" Where
ever Mr.. Wilson is "best known he is
best liked" and that fact argues well
for his habits, standing and position.
Elrick' Cole, the candidate for
Clerk Of the Circuit Court has an army
of friends and the full confidence of
the public.
j Mr.. Benedict, the Register of Deeds
and who also registers in his bold
legal writing the arrival of babies.
the marriages and deaths as they oc-
eur, has efficiency, suayety and good
!, habits, and that is about all the en-
dorsement he needs.
The great national questions that
divides public opinion have no sig
nlficance in county election. The
financial question was settled by the
last Congress. The Secretary of the
Treasury was restricted to fixed
and certain extent from the withdraw
al OF outstanding greenbacks, and it
was thought to be well to have a few
gold and silver anchors over the port
and larboard bow togive steadfastness
to the currency that goes alike into
the hand of the rich and the poor
The Democratic party has made many
attempts in the line of "side shows
to obtain recruits, but in whatever
