For County Clerk Mr.. G. w. Hill.

ror County Cierk MT. -. w. Hill,
of Platteyille, was nominated. Mr..
Hill is up in the meridian of life. He
stands well as man of good charac-
ter, and be was a soldier in the Uni
on army. he has bsen town clerk
and Justice of the Peace in Platte.
vile, for many years. Last spring
he was beaten for these offices though
be was the regular. Republican nomi-
nee and though the Republicans in
Platteyille eut.number the Democrats
about 200. Two years sgo Platte
vile delegation offered Mr.. Ii. J.
TRADER for County Clerk. This year
he was thrown overheard and Mr..
Hill obtained the delegation. We
are told it was done partly through
Mr.. Rindlaub's packing the caucus
to make sure ofJgetting Platteville
man IN that office because the County
Clerk has control of most of the
county printing. If this is true il
leaves the inference that Mr.. Hill is
more a printers candidate than q
Republican candidate. With Mr..
Rindlaub to boss the County Clerk
printing and Ferg to boss the Treas.
urer's printing those publishers o.
village papers no doubt think they
have a nice time of it. Between
them, however, they have already
made sure of having the Republican
majority in this county 500 less thar
it otherwise would have been, an6
we doubt whether Cap. Fsrg car
print bogus tickets enough to make
good the loss.
Next on the ticket is W. p. Dur
ley, OF the town of Harrison. HI
has held the Office of Register o
Deeds nearly through two terms
His time has been period of mao
ton and ho has made hardly a living
cut of it. His books show as clear
and perfect work as can be found il
the office. He is as attentive an Of
ficer as the county ever had. W,
never knew call at his door in bus
mess hours to find him absent. II,
is crippled soldier.
For Clerk of the Circuit Court
Herman BuchHer is as good as thu
people want. An attempt to max,
improvement will be useless. III
was a good soldier, but does no
draw pension.
Mr.. r. G. Orr, Of Bloomington, i
the candidate for District Attorney
lie is young man of talent, energ,
and conscieneiousness. The candi
dacy could not have found bette
man. He obtained his education a
the Madison University and Law
school and has for few years beer
engaged in the practice of Law, il
the Office with Messrs, Barber
Clementson. When elected he will
, occupy the District Attorneys offic
in Lancaster.
For Comfy Surveyor the nomina
ton of Mr.. J. .Scott,of Patch Grove
was 3 surprise. Mr., Scott is an up
right man and we presume is highl
competent. He was formerly Dem
ocrat but has bsen a Jealous worke
in the Republican ranks for som
years.
. For Coroner T. Lyster, of James
town, is the biggest man that coul'
be found. He was willing to declin
and let Tom Watson or some oths
man grow fat on the salary of the OF
flee, but the Convention thought n,
man could hold the chair down bet
ter than he could.
Here, gentlemen of Grant County
is your ticket. The head, limbs an,
tail of it are well put up for running
1t is a double. breasted ticket wit
Rindlaub at one nipple and Cap
