in helping him at this time by
electing him to the office of County
Treasurer, which he is so well quail

There is no more important officer
to be voted for this fall than County
Clerk. 1t is absolutely necessary in
order to secure accuracy in the va
rious accounts of the several county
officers, that The records of the clerk
be correctly kept. The Democratic
candidate for this office,
". II. KEANE,
of Eden, is a man who is in every
way qualified to fill the position.
He is an accurate accountant; and
will faithfully and conscientiously
discharge the duties of his office.
The high esteem in which he Is held
by those who know him best is the
safest guaranty that his duties will
be well performed.
For the office of Register of Deeds
the Democrats have selected well
and favorably know citizen of Iowa
county. We refer to
Mr.. GEO. W. STRONG,
of Miffiin, than whom no more wor-
thy candidate has ever been pre-
scented to the voters of Iowa county.
Mr.. Strong has never been an office
seeker, and Notwithstanding his
recognized popularity as man and
a citizen, he has quietly attended to
his business of farmer and black
smith, attending caucusses and con-
ventions only for the purpose of
seeing that good men were selected
for office. In unanimously nomi-
mating him as a candidate for Regis
ter of Deeds, his friends have but
| emphasized Mr.. Strong's own opin-
ions in regard to nominating good
| men for positions of public trust.
MIR. J. l.. LEONARD,
of Mineral Point, is the nominee for
Clerk of the Circuit Court, and al
though the youngest candidate on
the ticket, he is by no means the
least worthy. He is highly qualified
for the office for which he is a can
didate, having last year been ad-
mitted to the bar of this Circuit, by
His Honor Judge Cothren. Mr..
J.. has been resident of this city
for the past five or six years, and is
highly respected by our citizens.
His election at this time would be a
compliment worthily bestowed upon
Il deserving young man, who owing
to the misfortune of being lame, is
unable to perform manual labor.
The times demand economy in the
administration of public affairs, and
the oflicG who carefully and eco
nsmically conducts matters placed
in his hands by the public is sure to
be popular The candidate for

of Mineral Point, during the time
which he held this office discharged

less or unnecessary expense in the
prosecution of suits. If we are not
badly mistaken the people will see
to it that he is elected by large
majority.
HON. ROBERT WILSON.
of Dodgeville, is the candidate for
Surveyor. Mr.. Wilson'S name
would add strength to any ticket,
and it is appropriately placed upon
the Democratic county ticket, with
the names of the other good men
there. Mr.. w. is one Of the most
accurate surveyors in the county.
MIR. PATRICK KING,
OF Wyoming, in spite of his protes-
tatlons, was unanimous y nominated
for Coroner. He has been staunch
and faithful Democrat, and is one of
the best natured and most iovial
men in the world. If all parties
were made up of such men as Mr..
King, there would be but little dan
ger of any River and Harbor bill
ever passing through congress.
We believe that by the nomination
of
HON. JAMES RYAN,
of Ridgeway, for Member of Assem-
bly, from the Eastern district, the
evil devices of the wicked republi-
cans, who framed and passed the
apportiomnent bin will be brbugtt
tonapght. It would be- difllcu,k to
| appeutienso popalara man as gathes
Ryan into a district that would not
rc-elect him to position which he
SO faithfully filled as he did that of
Assemblymen from his district last
winter Mr. Ryan is just the kind
of a painstaking, cautious man that
we ought to send to Madison to
guard our interests in the legislature.
Mr., Ryan is a good worker, and a
close observer of matters and things
in general, and his constituents can
depend upon it that he will work
