THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
At their head stands the name of our
old Supervisor of Registration, w. W..
Haywood. He was appointed in 1866,
and served his party faithfully for two
years in very unenviable capacity.
Under the law he could permit no man
to register who had aided or sympa-
thized with the rebellion. This law
was extremely comprehensive, being
intended to cover as many people as
possible who did not vote the Republic
can ticket. But it was not sweeping
enough tor the radicals of Iron comfy.
There were in Iron county too many
Democratic people against whose 10y
atty nothing could be shown, to insure
the election of the Radical candidates.
Something extraordinary had to be
done, and they did it-through MIR.
Haywood and the registrars under
him. They DISTINGUISHED the whole
people of Belleview, by refusing to take
the registration of that strong Demo-
cratic township. Of course, great ma
ny Democrats up there and all over the
county will support Mr.. Haywood!
They were not good enough to vote for
Democrats in 1868, but Mr.. H. would
probably accept their votes now. Mr..
H. would, no doubt, make a passable
Representative, if we didn't have few
hundred better men for the position.
But, for all that, if he were still regis
tering officer, he would stand a good
chance of election.

it was under his administration that
Mr.. Haywood, the present head of the
ticket, was DISTINGUISHED. "Politics

DIR. Goulding would make good
coroner, no doubt, but our private opin-
ion is that he would rather not have
the office, and that in accepting the
nomination he merely desired to ex-
press his willingness to sacrifice himself
upon his country's altar for the general
good of mankind.
The remainder of the ticket is UNI
filled.
These are the two tickets from which
the voters Of Iron county will select
their public servants for the coming
two years. We shall, from time to
time, until November End, state why
the Democratic ticket is the one to sup
