In the talk for the Judgeship we have
heard the names of n. p. Colburn, J. @.
Farmer, II. r. Wells, II. s. Baseett and
John r. Jones, of this county, mentioned
for the position. AS Fillmore county
will more than likely furnish the candi-
date, she should select MN upon whom
all could unite in hearty concord. 1t
would be crime to have another seven
years wrangle in the district, hence the
man mus! be one who will command un-
iversal confidence. He must be above
petty resentments, anu must be broad
enough in lis views to concillate even
his enemies, if he should be so unfor-
tunate as to Lave any. We think such a
man can be selected, and we believe the
people will heartily support him, as
against disturber or disorganizer. We
need peace. and should be wise enough
to secure it when the opportunity offers.
Let the party act judiclously and secure
the man who is the ablcst fitted for the
position and who will poll the mos: votes.

unusually good attendance of the members,

The Dubuque Reds and Lancas ter
Browns.

The base ball game between the Red
Stockings of Dubuque and the Brown Stock
ings of Lancaster came OH last Friday as an
nouneed. The Reds came to town the night
before under the escort of Mr. 7. G. Lewis.
They are company of small bodied young
men, varying but little in size, and looked
trim and neat The game was called at $50
2, NJ, the Browns being sent to the bat. The
score given below shows a zero for the
Browns that inning and the SEINE result is the
record for seven innings in succession The
reds scored one run the first inning two the
second and three the third. If they had kept
up their progression it would have been bad
one for our boys But they were white washed
at all their other innings, except one. On
that inning, the sixth, they made five runs I.
looked bad for the Browns not to have count
for seven innings. Some of the friends began
to be anxious. Two or three gentlemen put
up rs cents for the PLAYER who made the first
run. On the eight mining there we're two or
three boys on bases Harry Englebach was
foremost, got round first and was handed the
IS cents. Markers and Clark were RICH, after
him and the Browns made three tallies on the
eighth. On the ninth they took two more.
and their short way Of whtewasLing the Reds
the last two innings showed that II there were
only few more innings in the game the bal.
ancc sheet might show very differently. Five
times the Lancaster club had a man die on
each base, and all visitors who understood the
game say they played we'll The Dubuque
club played as handsome game as has ever
been seen in Lancaster. Every man was al
ways ready for business. and their work was
expertly done. In the whole game there we're
only three 2-bsse hits made. These are re.
corded for Msrkers, Harry Englebach and
Barber, of the Browns. The score is as fol-
