OUR TICKET.

1t has become an established belief
that the action of a convention binds the
reason Of an editor OF local paper whose
political views coincide with those of the
people composing the convention. This
is no longer true. Papers do not look to
conventions for their opinions. Rnt the
convention OF last Saturday has done It's
work so well, has selected men SO we'll
fitted to serve the people in the capacity
of public officers, that the question as to
whether the convention is safe guide
or not does not enter into the calculation.
The qualifications of the men their char
acter and standing, are assurances that
the affairs of the county may be safely
entrusted in their hands. Every person
on the ticket is man against whose pri-
vate or public life not one word of re
proach can be uttered. No ticket was
ever presented to the democrats of Mani
towoc county more deserving OF their
support, or one whose election would be
more conducive to efficiency in the dis
charge of public duties, honesty in the
administration of public affairs and gen.
eral satisfaction to all classes of people.
We cannot argue against our convictions
and could not give hearty support to a
ticket which we felt was undeserving of
TINT support. Conventions often bring
party necessity into conflict with duty to
the public. But that OF Saturday recon
Giles considerations of party and consid-
erations of public rood and makes them
identical. Every democrat can deposit
the ticket prescribed by the party with
which he acts with the full Consciousness
that while aiding his party he is also con.
tributing his share toward securing good
officers.
Hon. Joseph Rankin, the nominee for
state SENATOR did not seek the nomina
tion this year. He did not try to inhu-
ence the choice of the convention By SO.
licitation. Ii the people were satisfied
with his course he was willing to again
represent them in the legislature. II
they desired change he was just as
ready to submit to their wishes. He was
nominated unanimously.
Mr.. Rankin has not only represented
the county of Manitowoc at Madison but
the democratic party of the state. His
democracy has been of so pronounced q
type, he has been so active in the coun-
sells of his party and so quick to take adj
vantage of the mistakes of republicans,
that he has earned their enmity IN a par
ty sense. He has represented che peo-
pie of Manitowoc county faithfully. No
man from this county ever asked for any.
thing which Rankin could secure that
was not granted. No man has greater
influence or uses it to better purpose for
the advantage of bis constituents. There
is no man in the state over whose defeat
the republicans would rejoice more heart.
lily. There is no other man in the state
whose election would be more ioyfully
received by the democrats OF the state.
NJ. II. Murphy, our candidate for
sheriff, is one of the most respectable and
worthy young men in the county. His
quiet and gentlemanly department mas
made him friends wherever he is known.
The writer has known him from boyhood
up aud has never known him to be any,
thing but manly, independent and reput-
able. He was supported in the conven-
tlon by the best men Of the party aud
owes his nomination to his well know n
fitness for the Office and the esteem in
which he is held for his excellent traits
of character. Mr. Murphy is a fit rep.
resentative of the best elements of the
party and of the young men who have
grown up with the county and added
responsibility aud intelligence to the par
ty with which they have determined to
act. The putting forward of such men
is the best guaranty of purity and eff
cheney IN matters pertaining to the coun-
ty. Ii Mr.. Murphy is not elected by
large majority it will not be because of
ANYTHING that can be said in derogation
OF him.
Gottlieb DAIMLER, the candidate for
county treasurer, has become known
throughout the county as SYNONYM for
honesty aud fsithfulness to the trust con-
tided to him by the people. Wherever
he Is known. honesty is ascr;bed as his
most prominent attribute. He has none
OF these ats which tiatter people and win
popularity His strength comes from
his integri'.y and efficiency. DAIMLER has
no symrathy with insincerity or devious
ways he is straightforward himself and
expects all Others to 'hew straight TO the
line. Though in office for four years
he may safely def, criticism. Tbers ia
