every name that democrats are called upor
to vote for in this city, county and state mex
Tuesday, and no solid democrat Will scratch
a single name upon il. No more splendid
array of names was ever offered to the people
of this county and state to vote for. The name
Iof WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK involves all
all that is noble and splendid In manhood
the skilled and gallant soldier, the accom-
plished statesman, the patriot and pure and
honest man. The name of WILLIAM II. ENG.
LsH bespeaks alike the tried statesman and
incorruptible patriot. In the name OF LYMAN
TRUMBULL, at the head of our state ticket, we
recognize one of the ablest and clearcst headed
statesmen of the age, man tried in every fire
and found pure as gold, an honor to his state
and country and a tower of strength. The
balance of our state ticket is made up Of men
no less pre-eminently fitted for the offices for
which they arc named, no less pure and up
right, no less an honor to universal manhood.
For congress the ticket presents the name OF
DANIEL EVANS, a man Of unqucs,onablc
ability, a brilliant orator, honest, upright, Of
unsullied ntcgrlty-a man Of the people-a
friend Of the workingman, whose every pulse
beats in sympathy with the feelings and
wants Of the tolling masses, HIS intelligence
and culture will insure him respect and in
flucnce in whatever position he may be placed,
and his sound judgment and pluck will guide
him in using them to the best advantage for
his constituents and his country,
ALEXANDER VAUGHEy is our only candidate
for representative, and will of course receive a
plumper OF votes from every democrat He
is well worthy of the honor. He has been o
resident of this county for over twenty-five
aught of him but that he is an intelligent, wide
awake, big and true.hearted man, with ability
enough to serve our people with distinction IN
the legislative councils OF the state, and of that
sterling, heightened uprghtncss and integrity
of character that give assurance of thorough
ly honest service
WILLIAM w. TAYLOR, our candidate for cir
cult clerk, is young man of shining ability
IN character, of popular and
winning ways-hcld IN such esteem by his
immediate neIghbors that he will receive their
votes largely without regard to party, though
no man has labored more earnestly for the
success of the uhole ticket of his party in the
present exciting contest.
OF WILLIAM r. MILLiGAN, candidate for
sheriff we have already had occasion to say
so much in consequence Of unjust attacks that
have been made upon HIM, that any additions
here would be supcriluous Suffice it to say,
he has gone through the fire Of his enemies
without scar and stands before the people |
today unscathed, Il true man, towering con
fessedly head and shoulders above his com
pctitor in point OF fitness or every other need.
full qualification to fill with honor the Office
of sheriff of La Sale county.
We need but mention the name of l.. w!
BREWER, our candidate for states attorney to
elicit hearty response OF good will towards
him personally and an earnest wi1h that he
may be elected by every true hearted voter.
His ability is unquestioncd and such a con-
trast to the conspicuous want OF ability on the
part OF his opponent, that 1t would go on rec
ord as one of the curosltics of politics if he
should be defeated,
Mr. A. MEIsENBACH, the candidate for re-
corder, has for years been a leading citizen of
is man of irrcproachable character
and has been presented by his democratic
friends aS the choice OF that part of the county |
The choice will be ratified by the whole
county, as it deserves to be.
Ofcourse everybody knows DR.. REYNOLDS,
for coroner, whose acceptable SER
vice in that position heretofore attests the
fitness Of his nomination.
Such, democrats, is our ticket See to it that
every name upon 1t is correctly spelled and
that you deposit it safely in the ballot box
next Tuesday, unscratched, from President to
coroner.
