integrity, genuine fidelity to every
trust reposed in him and capable, at
tentive official. He is one whom the
people Of Pierce county delight to
honor, because honors given him are
worthily bestowed. He was a gallant
soldier during the slate unpleasant
ness, enlisting and serving as a pr
vate soldier in the 37th Wisconsin, and
knows from experience the hardships
| of soldiers life-foreed marches,
scant rations, wounds received in bat
| tie and the horrors of rebel prison
| pens. Returning from the South Mr..
Warner entered upon the peaceful av-
ocation of farming in the town of
Martel, where he remained until Jan
uary, 1859, when he assumed the du-
| ties of County Clerk. His eminent fit
ness for the naeitie.s '>-.a ti.e a~r->.l'ssi
| ty gained as an incumbent of this Office
retained him therein until December,
| 1877, when he resigned to accept the
position which he now holds. As Sec
rotary of State he retains those char
acteristics which made him SO popular
as county official and no one, howev-
er humble. addresses him either per-
sonally or by letter without receiving
that respectful recognition and consid-
Grafton to which they are justly enti-
| tied.
Richard Guenther, State Treasurer,
is a first-class official and a gentleman
who has proven faithful to his trust,
justifying the expectations of his Ger
man fellow-citizens whose representa-
tive in the present State Administra-
ton he has the honor TO be. He re-
fleets credit upon his nationality as
well as the Republican party by his
honest, faithful and competent official
record.
With Attorney General Wilson at
the head of the law department of the
State government it has not been found
necessary for the people of Wisconsin
to pay thousands Of dollars to outside
lawyers for aid in the discharge of the
duties of that officer. Gen. Wilson is
an able lawyer, competent to properly
fill this position, which to his credit
he does III satisfactory manner, with
ont outside assistance.
Superintendent Whitford, whose life
has been dedicated to the cause of ed
ucation, has proven one of the most
efficient Superintendent, well adapted
to the work which by the people he
has been called upon to do and which
he performs with commendable per-
severance.
| Such, reader, is the personnel of the
State ticket which the Republican par
| ty of Wisconsin has taken just pride
| in submitting to the electors OF this
State for their suffrages at the polls
| in November. Each man upon 1T has
been tried and found true. Each has
made a record of which any man
might well feel proud. There is not
single good reason why any one of
the gentlemen named should not be
reelected by large and decisive ma
jority, while there are many obvious
reasons, some of which are of a very
grave nature, why they should be re-
tanned in their respective offices for an
other term.
For Member of Assembly the Re-
publican convention held at Ellsworth
on Monday nominated for reelection,
Hon. n P Haugen, of this village.
Mr.. Haugen is well known throughout
the county as gentleman of sterling
worth and who last winter acceptably
filled the position for which he has
again been designated as candidate.
To aid him in the capacity of a rep
resentative of the county in the COM
ing legislative session he will bring
the experience gained in the last, and
we hazard nothing in expressing the
conviction that he will maintain in q
| credltable manner the interests OF the
people whom he will have the honor
to represent.
For Superintent of Schools, j. t.
McCleary, now engaged as teacher
in the public schools of this village,
is the Republican nominee. Mr.. Nc
Cleary is well known throughout the
county as a successful teacher and is a
gentleman of studious and correct
habits. At the State Teachers exam
nation, recently held in Madison, an
unlimited certificate was awarded him
and there is no doubt of his ability to
properly discharge the duties of the
Office for which he has been nominal
ed. We are not prepared to vouch,
however. for his claims to Republic
can nomination.
