The Republican County Ticket.

The Republican County Ticket.
The ticket placed in the field by
the Republicans Of this county is a
good one and, we believe, will be the
winning one. The nominee for audi
tor, /. S. Mudgett, is too well and ia.
vorably known to need any words Of
praise from US; he is a competent and
faithful officer and the only argument
that his opponents can use against him
is that she had the Office long enough
The duties of the auditor are merely
clerical and the argument amounts to
nothing; his experience has taught
him much and he is recognized to-day
as one of the best county auditors in
Minnesota. Then where would be
the sense in changing him for an un.
tried man? There is not more gen..
tlemanly and accommodating county
auditor in the state than l. S. Mud
gett.
N. A. Ross, as register of deeds, has
given entire satisfaction to all parties.
and, we understand will be endorsed
by the Democrats. This is as it should
be.
For four years D. "A. C. alley has ac-
ceptably filled the Office of clerk Of
court; he was fairly nominated by a
representative Republican convention;
he is we'll qualified to perform the du.
ties of the Office and should be re-.
elected.
A. F. Howard is the nominee for
sheriff. He has proved himself to be
a fearless and impartial officer; he has
not used the power with which, by
virtue of his Office he is clothed, to
harrass or Cypress anyone and in the
execution Of his duty he knows neith.
er friend nor foe; the county has never
been put to any unnecessary expense
through any neglect Of his, and the
tax payers and voters of the county
appreciate that fact.
"A. P. Barker is the nominee for
county attorney. This is an I'M mport.
ant office and there is no one in the
county better qualified to fill it than.
Mr.. Barker. At the last term Of
court Mr.. Barker won golden opin-
ions from the Judge and members of
the bar for the able manner in which
he conducted the cases in which he
was interested-every Indie tment he
drew held water.
The nominee for school superinten-
dent, J. L. Brady, if elected, will not
be mere figure head; he is a gentle.
man who from long experience as a
school teacher, is well versed in all
that pertains to schools and is un-
doubtedly the right man for the po.
sition. .''s
Although the Republicans made no
nomination for Judge of probate, it is
conceded by all parties that the pres.
ent incumbent, Chas. Keith, is the
best.ma for the place.
The offices Of coroner and court
commissioner are not of much import.

reason why Dr.. E. C. Gle and A. p.

years ago, in great measure, to the
bitter contest between Republicans
