AMOS sICKEL.

The Republican County Conven-
ton acted wisely in selecting Amos
Sickel as it's candidate for Sheriff
Mr. Sickel has in various ways proved
his capability and his efficiency in the
public service. AS School Trustee
from the Second Ward he won the
good will of the teachers by his SYM
pathetic regard for the value of their
services, of his fellow Trustees by his
inbred courtesy and gentlemanly de-
meanor, and of the public generally
by his answering opposition to all
needless expenditures, and his earn
est championship of every feasible
plan for increasing the efficiency Of
the schools. His career as a member
of the Common Council has been
equally successful. While never sur
rendering his convictions of right, he
has always received the views of his
colleagues with courteous considera-
ton, and given due weight to their ar
guments While opposing all reck-
less expenditures, he has at the same
time been an earnest friend of all SEN
sible measures for the improvement
Of the city.
The Office of Sheriff is a dignifed
and responsible one, and the people
should select as it's incumbent a man
who will endeavor to honestly do his
duty without regard to class, creed Or
rece. This we believe Mr.. Sickel will
do. He is too broad man to follow
in the footsteps of his predecessor
and violate the law by preventing the
representation in the jury box of six
thousand citizens of Mercer County,
because they belong to race who
are distasteful to him. We believe
that if Amos Sickel is elected Sheriff
this thing will be changed. The law
will be regarded in the selection of
jurors, as closely as it now is in the
trial of prisoners, and no man, be-
cause his skin is black, or his hair
kinky, need feel that he is excluded
from the performance Of one of his
duties as citizen, on account of the
arrogant and illegal action of an off
cial whom he helped to elect.
Years ago, when to treat man as
man, irrespective of the tint of his
epidermis, was not so popular as
now, Amos Sickel made himself con-
spicuous by his devotion to the cause
of the oppressed, and his manly ad-
vocacy of their rights.
By his honesty and fidelity to the
public interest in every position which
he has filed, by his high character
and generous impulses, and by his
manly, outspoken and consistent ad
vocacy of right under all circum-
stances, Amos Sickel deserves of the
people of Mercer County the promo
ton for which he has been named by
the Republican Convention. And we
believe that he will get it.

ObtruNive Advertising.

1t depends largely upon what 1t is that is
advertised-the temper and feeling of the
public toward the subject matter, whether
the advertiser can afford to steal in upon the
readers attention by the use of some iavorite
Quotation-or riding in upon some current
topic of discussion. Some advertisers have
run against fatal snag trying to initiate
the method of DIR. Bulls Baby Syrup, Cough
Syrup, etc, in this class of advertising, meet
