THE COUNTY TICKET.

The ticket nominated bv the Re-
publican county convention on
Wednesday IL u good one, and Is SO
conceded and recognized by the oppo-
sltion party. IA well as by the party
which placed 1t before the people. At
this time we have not space to parti.
cularize upon the various candidates.
but shall take occasion to do so ut an
early date.
There Is one thing that We will
take time to say. and that Is every
Republican in the county should labor
zealously from now until the close of
the polls on the evening Of November
7th. for the success OF the ticket In
its entirety. There IL not man be.

which he has been named. IL Is

chanics, laboring men. artisans and
merchants to sustain this ticket by
your votes and good words. Not one
out of the entire nominees can be
charged with corruption or dishon
esty; not one has the distasteful ele.
ments of u politician. while all are
distinctly free FROM rings or factions,
Republicans. do your duty, and to
you will belong the honor Of electing
one Of the most creditable set Of Of
ficers and representatives ever sent

THE temporary dissatisfaction oc.
casioned In the selection of the legis.
lative ticket by the old custom Of
Commissioner districts, fully de.
monstrates that this practice will
have to give way to better and
more practical method. The county
at large votes for representative
nominees and they should be selected
az a whole and not be confined to the
selection of q few, and forced upon
the people whether acceptable or
otherwise. By this we do not mean
to convey the impression that the
Republican nominees are distasteful
to the voters, for we have reasons to
believe that the nominees are all
gentlemen of worth. ability and in.
tegrity, and will poll q large vote at
the election. But this fact does not
In the least excuse or defend the old
and worn out custom of allowing the
districts the privilege Of placing
candidates in nomination, while the
county must vote at large upon these
men. We believe . new departure
to bs in order. and likewise believe
revision will be made that will be
far moro satisfactory and harmonious
In its results.
