together that has placed in nomina-
ton . ticket which, taken . whole,
has given better satisfaction than the
one selected last Saturday.
There Va no put up job" but the
will Of the people va freely expressed
by their chosen delegates and Q fair
distribution Of the ~"loaves and fshes-
was had and general satisfaction il the

As . few Of the nominees are COM

Of the people. We will gives personal
notice Of each candidate that the peo-
pie may fairly judge of the character
and competency Of the men Who are
70 fill the respective county Offices for

john p. BAYHA,
being the nominee for county clerk.
the most important Office in the
county, and also being a new man in
county politics. We consider il appro-
pirate TO give the public . short sketch
Of his past life. He was born of
German parents at Wheeling, West
Va, Feb. Is, lS43. At an early age
he was employed in . Wholesale 4
Retail Leather and Shoe Finding
House until the war broke out, when
At the age Of 10 he enlisted in the
Union army and VA successfully
promoted, being honorably discharged
in 1865. He then moved TO Dakota
Co. Neb., where he was loon called
to fill positions of honor and trust,
having been town clerk and sfterward,
Mayor Of Dakota City. he was also as
sistant clerk Of Dakota county. In
1873 he removed with his family TO
this county and was for . short time
employed in the county clerks Office
here, when he engaged with Samuel
CARRIER, Esq, rs book-keeper, a posi-
ton which he has held with entire
to his employer for three
years and q half last past. Mr.. Bayhs
is a gentlemen in the true sense of the
term, being always accommodating
and courteous, he has won for
host Of friends. He
will poll a rousing republican vote at
the coming election.
CHALEs BUscHOw,
the nominee for county Treasurer is a
young man of good education and an
acurate accountant. He is a farmer
by profession, a resident of Potsdam
precinct and of German decent. He
will make a careful, Al honest and u
trustworthy officer. He is and has
been a staunch Republican,
and will, We have no doubt, receive
the full republican vote at the coming
election.
Jos. w. WARREN,
was nominated for q second term TO
the sheriffship. As he is well known
throughout the county, and known to
have been a faithful officer, it would
be superfluous for us to more than
say that he is eminently qualified for
the position and is the right man in
the right place
Dr.. J. Z. SMITH,
Of Guide Rock, the nominee of the
convention for commissioner from
the lst district is well known through
out the county as a successful business
man. He has represented this county
in the state legislature and filled other
places of honor and trust and will, We
confidently believe, he . valuable ac-
QUESTION to our board Of commits
CHARLES W. SPRINGER,
is well qualified to fill the Office of
county superintendent Of Public In
He is an old settler in
our county and has always been iden-
tilted with the educational interests of
the county and state. We feel very
that he will fill the Office in
. most successful and satisfactory
His long experience rs
teacher has eminently fitted him for
the position to which the people have
called him.
The Offices Of county Surveyor and
Coroner, to which Messrs C. p. Rinker
and DR.. Hall have been respectively
called, will be filled with credit, no
and while the positions are
not, in the full sense of the term,
lucrative, they are at least honorable,
and We hope thoee gentlemen Will not
complain of their lot.
We do not believe that it was in
the power Of the convention to nomi-
nate a better ticket, or one that would
have given better satisfaction to the
people NJ large, and We hope that
every republican in the county will
turn out to the polls next November
and ratify the above nomin atoms bv
voting the straight republican

proceedings of the county convention,

Hawley receiving just half the votes
cast. Through An oversight on the
part of the chairman of the conven-
ton. and q misunderstanding Is to the
vote, he informs US, Hawley VA de-
clared nominated. As Q friend of Mr..
Hswley, who supported him in the
we are sorry that another
ballot was not had that the matter
might have been settled there. As it
