A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

ken0Sha County has a. majority Of
Republican voters, and can always
elect the Republican candidates tor
county offices If the Republicans will
90 TO election and vote the Republican
ticket. 1t has become quite too COM
mon however for some Republicans to
vote fer Democratic candidates and
especially to fill The best offices in the
county. And by their votes Democrats
nave frequently been elected to some
of Tie best offices i'll the county. This
has been the case for d long time past.
We Will note two instances OF Demo.
Gratis thus elected, md now holding the
best Offices i'll the county.
Vuhley French was appointed by
Governor Taylor to fill the vacancy LII
the office OF County Judge. Before the
expiration vi llle term and before any
nomination WIS made, Mr.. French
drew d petition, as we are informed,
asking blm 10 consent TO become a call
daate tor County Judge and called
personally on Republicans as we'll DIS
Democrats to sign it, and many Repub-
llcals signed it. 4 Republican candi-
L. l.
was nominated by the Democrats.
Enough Republicans voted for Mr..
French To elect him. The office Of
County Judge IS probably the best pay
ing othce Ill tile county, excepting the
office OF See1ltf, and The advertising Of
probate ~5oe3 amounts to several
hundred dollars every year. These
lprobate Notices Judge French gener-
ii ~ orders published III the Democrat
lc paper. Sometimes when requested,
he orders them published in the IELE-
GRAPH, but, even WleL requested to do
So, 1t Is sometimes convenient for him
TO forget it, and to order their publica-
tiCn Ill ~ Democratic paper. Ii Re
publlcans lad not voted for him, j udge
French would neither be County Judge
nor have the power to use the patron
age Ot The Office for the benefit Of the
Democratic party. But Republicans,
by Vo.ing for ham, gave him The office,
and the power which he uses to the
delrimen. of the Republican party.
Nicholas bpartZ is Sheriff OF Kenosha
county. 4 year ago he was the Dem
Ocratlc candidate Tor Sheriff and was
elected over the Republican candidate
by the help OF Republicans votes. He
holds the best office in the county and
tile advertising tor his office amounts
TO some hundred dollars every year.
Sheriff SpartZ has had some advertis-
ing done in the Kenosha Telegraph,
but generally the advertising for his
office has been done in Il Democratic
paper. Withou; Republican votes lie
would not now hold the best Office in
the county nor have the power to use
The patronage Of The office for the ben
eft OF the Democratic party.
\ County Treasurer is to be elected
on the 4th of November. The office
Of County Treasurer is probably the
next best in the county to the offices of
sheriff and County Judge, The Re
publicans having a majority III the
county can elect the Republican can
didate if they will, and give him the
Office and secure the patronage Of the
office to the Republican party Will
they do it? Or, will they, by some Of
them voting for the Democratic cand.-
date, give him the office and the pat
ronage Of the office to the Democratic
party. 1t would seem ltat all Repub
lican voters might see the folly OF Vot-
| ing for Democrats and vote for ths
| Republican candidates, ana especially
for Ralph E. Sutherland for County
Treasurer.
