The Democracy of Waiia Walla County
have presented an unusually good ticket
this year. The candidates. without ex-
ception, are upright, reliable and conpe
tent men For representatives in the
Territorial Legislature, Judge B. l.
SLsrpstein. r. r Rees snd l. K. Pierce
s.- we'll known To our people and inst as
fasorably as we'll known They are
the only candidates for the important
Office on whom the people can absolutely
dep=nd- They are decidedly opp.- d to
Q "no fence" Law and will prevent any
such legislation for the benefit Of . few
land monopolists as was attempted BY the
republicans at the last session. No men
stand higher for integrity and ability in
the community at large than these gentle.
men II is not often that the people have
.u-h an opportunity to elect such men
and now they have it, it is to be hoped
for the well being If the county that they
will embrace it. For Prosecuting A.tor-
ney, ". G. Langford is well known to be
The only one on the two tickets who has
not been mixed up with affairs which will
undoubtedly be bar in the way Of the
other candidate TO the proper administra-
ton Of his duties We refer To the recent
land jumping business. In this Mr..
Langfords hands are perfectly clean For
Auditor, Mr. A. ". Sweeny is the man
who will do his duty without fear or IA
vor, he is no wire worker, no poiitlcsi
trickster all the time on a still hunt, but
an old citizen who is perfectly capable OF
doing the work himself. he understands
figures and is q representative Of the
working population andtherefore he needs
no commendation. He is entirely de-
serving and should be elected by a large
majority. For Sheriff, James b. Thomp-
son will undoubtedly be elected for he
has filled the office before 10 the entire
satisfaction Of the tax payers and We have
We. to hear of single instance where he
has taken advantage OF opportunities
which has certainly been in his power to
line the pockets Of himself and friends at
the expense nf the people. He is man
20 be trusted and the voters know 1t.
Samuel Jacobs for Assessor is an old citi-
zen renowned for ability and honesty. He
saved the tax payers much trouble and
annoysnces after the revenue act became
law by doing his work in the same good
Old fashion way and they will remember
it at the polls. For Probate Judge,
Judge R Guichard has no opposition and
should have more. The Commissiun-
ss are men who can be depended upon
and the tax PAYERS may depend that
their Interests will be closely looked after.
o. F. Wagener is our next County Sur
veyor, if competence is ever appreciated
it should be in this instance. He is the |
man who to. day is out doing the work for |
the present incumbent If he should be
beaten he will have to act as deputy fer !
the other man who will thus have a sine
cure. P. Russell for School Superlnten-
dent is the man for the place He has a |
practical knowledge Of his duties and has
educational abilities Of very high order.
DR.. Marion is a necessity for the Coro-
ner's Office and will undoubtly fill the pcs
ition. Jesse Drumheller as Sheep Com
missioner will bring knowledge OF his
duties derived from extensive experience
in sheep to assist him. In fact the demo
cracy of Walla Walla County ought to be
congratulated for the high character and
capacity Of the gentlemen they have put
forward for the variOns county Offices, and
there is no doubt of their election
