OUR TICKET.

OUR 1lChEI.
IT is seldom that a party dominant n
county, presents a ticket without q
weak spot or an Objectionable feature.
But the conventions which met in this
county last Saturday, nominated men OF
proved competency and irreproachable
character. The excellence Of the ticket,
left to our republican friends the duty
simply, of making nominations 10 pre-
serve their organization and not with the
hope Of eIocting a single man put in
nomination by them. The harmony
which characterized the proceedings Of
the County and Assembly District con
yentons and the satisfaction with which
the result of each was received, fore
shadows the success which the 9TH Of
November will certainly bring. Ij IS
particularly gratifying to have a ticket
presented which one can cOnsc,Cnt5uslv
support without the necessity Of bring
ing to mind the allegiance due to party.
In supporting the democratic ticket Of
Aanitowoc county, there are no weak
nesses to bolster, nothing which puts us
on the defensive. The very names and
records Of the candidates present the
best arguments in favor Of their election.
In commencing them as men Ill every
respect deserving the support Of the
people Of AIanitowoc county, we are
bearing testimony to their merits rather
than advocating their claims through any
fear that it is necessary.
Hon. Joseph Rankin, the nominee for
the state senate from this strict, is a
man whose ability and reputation has
reflected credit on the county which he
represents. Through his prominence,
Manitowoc county has been brought to
the front rank in the state legislature
and in political circles. His popularity
and extensive acquaintance throughout
the state give him an enlarged power
which he never fails TO exercise in the
interests of his constituents. His poiiti-
cal sagacity last year gave to the demo
cratic minority in the assembly all the
advantages which they would derive
from being in the majority. He is to-
day tho head Of the democratic party in
the state, and as such has a greater de
gree of influence than any other man
who could be selected from this county.
1t IS to the interest OF the county that he
be returned both in matters Of legisla-
ton affecting the county and in the en-
yiable position which Manitowoc will
thereby occupy.
John Carey, the nominee Of the First
District, is man whose fitness for the
position to which lie is nominated, no
one can successfully question. His pop
ularity in the district comes from n
knowledge Of his worth. Two years service
on the county board, made MIN the &C.
knowiedgel leader Of that body. Few
men in the county possess il an equal
degree With Mr.. Carey those rare quail
ifcations which fit him for the legisla
ture An iniefatigabIe worker. earnest
In his convictions and with a natural
eloquence of expression, conscientious
III his views and fearless in giving them
expression, he will make a name in the
legislature for honesty, intelligence and
power The people of the First District
are to be congratulated on their choice
Of n representative.
Hon Henry Wits popularity in his
district was sufficiently attested last year
by the large majority by which he was
elected though the district on party
questions is republican. That his MAJOR
ity this year viii be increased rather than
dimished the satisfactory manner in
which he discharged the duties Of ms
office sufficiently indicates. He IS a man
whose honesty and capabiIity make him
acceptable to both parties.
VIM. Zander Of Gibson IS the nominee
il the Second District. \ farmer and
mill-owner, his business must have made
him quite extensively acquainted with
the people in this district, and his nom
ina;ion shows the estimation in which he
is held. The republicans baye made no
nomination against him. and Legislative
honors will descend on him without ef-
fort on his part.
p. j. Pierce, the candidate for sheriff,
has had his fitness tested by years of
practice As under-sheriff and constable
his efficiency and promptness secured
him as large a business as some sheriffs
have had. He has earned quite an en-
viable reputation for frmness and per-
sistence in the line OF duty. He VIII
make a faithful and able officer We can
predict his election with certainty as his
nomination was received With pleasure
~ al classes Of people.
Gottieb Daimler. the candidate for
county treasurer is generally acknowI-
{ lged to be the most faithful officer with
which any county i blessed. He is !
scrupulously honest and painstaking in /
the discharge of the duties of his Office. /
1t is the unanimous opinion of all who /
are acquainted with the condition Of his /
office that never in the history of the /
county were its duties more faithfully |
discharged. Ii Mr.. DAIMLER errs st all.
