"A WINNING TICKET"

This Is what the La Sale Democrat,
usually hard to please, calls the ticket
nominated by the Democratic County Con.
venton on Tuesday. Tits without doubt"
says the Democrat, "the strongest and most
popular. ticket ever this paper had the
pleasureSto hoist to the head of its editc.
rial columns And then the paper speaks
of the candidates individually as follows:
James W. Duncan was nominated for
state senator by reclamation amit con.
tinued applause aud wGvIDg of hats ana
handkerChiets, and the people knowing
him to be man of high honor and with
an integrity none Can ImpeacA he Will be
elected next November by an oyerwhel-
ming majority, burying Joe Hart under
an avalanche OF votes SO deep that the re.
mains will have returned 10 mother earth
before his friends can find him. The old
warehouses Alex, Naughey and Samuel
Wiley are our Representatives, and they are
sure of election il all of Us act fairly by vo-
ting l = for each Hiram 7. GILBERT, for
county Judge, the able and talented young
lawyer, is just as sure of victory as Is tue
sun TO shine on the day Of election, and
Hon. Daniel Evans support from the
greenbackers amt united democracy VIII
give him q ilatterng majority over his OPP
ponent for probate judge. William Il.
Milngan, the ever true citizen and consist.
ent lifelong democrat was nominated for
sheriff. His election can be accomplished
If the old party will go to work, and by the
good feeling which prevailed we know all
men to be true. The popular Patrick Fin.
Ian only needed the nomination Of county
clerk 10 insure his election. No young
man has more friends than he who are
ready to 90 TO work for his election. 4,
T. Bartels for probate clerk will be tri.
elected as will DIR. Clendenen for
coroner. That Gerald 3. Stockdale, one Of
the best teachers IN the state, will be elect.
ed county school superintendent we have
not the shadow of doubt. His majorties
in Ottawa, La Sale, Peru, Mendoza and
other cities Will be sweeping.
