Indeed the Duchess of Landless had be-
haved herself very differently while tax

when overtaken by thunderstorm. she
had sought refuge in widow Harding's

atfably, and gave the widows little grand
daughter three penny-piece when the
shower was over.
Miss LIE Deene had heard some rumor
of a severe wound Captain Arkley re-

or the Tartars, or any other people? ?
1t did not much signify to Southbay

County Recorder,
To the Editor of the Star:

10 the Editor OF the Star:
The Republican candidate for County Re
corder George O. Deckebach, has been thor
oughly tried in the position for which he
was nominated, and in no particular has he
been found wanting. For a number OF
years past he has presided over one of the
most responsible departments in that I'M
portant Office with credit to himself and to
the County. Devoted to his official duties,
it can not be said of him, as is said with too
much truth of too many in our public
offices, that they were placed there as orna-
ments, or to work out some political scheme
of their chief. Mr.. Deckebach has always
recognized the realities of his position, and
has pushed ahead with commendable zeal
and stern resolution to make the Recorders
Office what it should be, one of the best
conducted offices in the County.
Attorneys and all others who have had
transactions in real estate need not be told
of lis atfability, accommodating spirit and
uniform good nature, qualities in him
which are only lRN conspicuoW than his
intelligent and Thorough understanding of
everything pertaining to his department
If the voters in Hamilton County, ire
spectiye of party, are wise-wise even in
their own interests-they will by their
votes and influence place his election be-
yond peradventure.
Party politics should not enter into local
elections, and it is just as senseless to ask a
drowning man whether he is Democrat or
a Republican before stretching ont an arm
to save, as it is to ask long-tried public
servant who has jealously guarded your
own as we'll as the county's interests what
is his politics.
The voter should be governed entirely by
the reputation of the candidate for probity,
efficiency and fidelity to duty.
NoN-PARTIsAN.
