THE BEAVERHEAD COUNTY DEMO.
CRATIC TICKET.

In our ~nelghboring county Of Beaverhead
the democrats have placed in the field \ most
excellent ticket. 1t is composed of men pos
in every respect the confidence of the
people and the requisite qualifications to fill
the various Offices for which they are named.
Most of them, if not all, are old residents of
Beaverhead, thoroughly identified with the
interests of the county. Among them can be
found no carpet bag pilgrims with only a six
them.
The nominees for the legislature are men
Of sterling integrity and eminently qualified
to discharge the duties of the position for
which they are nominated. Mr.. Joseph A.
Browne, their candidate for the council, is .
pioneer citizen of that county. Mr.. Browne
ably represented his county in the legislature
some years ago, and his return to that body
by an almost unanimous vote is beyond doubt.
Mr.. J. c. Rodgers and MI. w. d. Davis, cam
didates for the house, are unquestionably
fitted to fill the position to which the people
of that county propose to elect them.
For the consolidated Office Of sheriff and as
SCISSOR Mr.. O. w. w. Rote is particularly
qualified. Mr.. Rote is the present assessor
for that county, and has for the past two years
discharged its duties in a very satisfactory
manner. During Mr.. Rote's term of Office
the property valuation of that county has in
| creased from s977,90O, in 1879, to over ST.
| 100000 in 1880. Much of this increase in the
assessment is due to Mr.. Rote's p~ainstaking
and thorough work in the discharge of his
duties.
He will make q fearless and efficient
sheriff, for he possesses the requisite nerve
and energy to perform the duties of the Office
without fiinching.
For probate judge and clerk and recorder
Mr.. AL. E. Graeter, the candidate for these
; positions, needs no concentrations at our
hands. Personally he is popular, and no one
can say that old AL" is not thoroughly
qualified for the Offices assigned him by a dis
eliminating people. MIR. Graeter has been
Beaverhead's clerk and recorder for several
years, and not a word of complaint has
reached our ears. P 'npt and exact in the
performing of his duVles, he has won the ad
miration and confidence Of the people. W.
predict that when the returns are in it viii
be found tn leads his ticket, and tina
means an election.
Mr.. VIM. Shinebcrger is their candidate 70
the Office Of county treasurer and superin
tendent of schools. No better selection coul'
be made by the democrats of Beaverhea'
county. For the past two years Mr.. Shine
berger has performed the duties of dcput
county treasurer very c%reditably, and hi
nomination for the office was simply an ell
dorsement of his honesty and his: capacity t
, fill thai office and the important position
. school superintendent.
The Office Of county commissioner is, to til
people of every county, a very important ont
Careful, solid, business men should be cleo
cd. Mr.. Phil Lowell is the candidate for thi
position. Mr.. Lowell is q pioneer: of MOI
tana. lie has amassed u competency by tn
exercise of rigid economy and fair dealin.
Mr.. Lovell's election is as good Us assured
The people of that county cannot afford
overlook Mr.. Lovclrs superior qualification
for the Office.
Mi. Vim. X. Wright is their candidate fl
coroner. Who in Bcavcrllead county don
know Billy Wright? For two years he III
. been their efficient coroner. We are Of I'll
. opinion that In the impending conflict Bill
> will scoop the gallant corporal of Gettysbu'
who opposes him.
!" With such an excellent ticket We feel q
. sured: that the democrats Of Beaverhead wi
= gain an overwhelming victory at the approach
" ing election.
