The Repuhlican County Tieket.

The ticket which we present to the
readers of the RECORD to-day upon
the second page Is one of the best
ever presentcd by the republicans 10
the voters of Fremont county. There
is not an Objectionable name upon it,
and there is no reason why every re-
publican should not vote it without o
scratch. This county claims 10 stand
among the galaxy of republican stars
in this centennial state, but the claim
can never be made wholly good until
every officer in it is republican.
For the past four years the sheriff S
office has been held by democrat.
For the past eight years democrat
has held the office of county treasur-
or. For alInos. fourteen years DEM
ocrat has been in the Office of clerk
and recorder. For several years, at
least, the republicans have he'll the
insignificant otfices-positions which
amounted to but little pecuniarily or
influentially. Yet We claim this is a
a republican county. If republicans
will pull together as strongly, let The
circumstances of the nominations be
what they may, as the democrats,
this state of affairs need not exist. IL
is republican votes that have kept
democrats in Office here, but in what
manner have they been benefited !?
Not one iota. Ne democrat has bere-
tofore conceded republican as much
as ballot, little less have they con-
ceded them the slightest patronage.
Simply because you or your friend
did not receive n nomination from a
republican convention is small rea-
son why you should vote against the
man who was more successful in get
ting his name upon the ticket. If
you are a republican then be one in
the full meaning of that term and
vote your whole ticket, so long as the
men whom you are asked to vote for
are honorable, capable and irre-
proacl,aole III character. Such men
we present for your sufrrages upon
the s,h day of November, and we feel
satisfied that every republican will
do his duty on that day so that FIRE.
