The County Ticket.
The Democratic party has been
only few hundred votes in the min.
GRITTY in this county, yet it has not
had representative in office since
the war, save in two Or three instan-
ces.
Nor is this because the Democracy
has not put up good men. At the
coming fall election we will offer of
the best citizens Of the county for the
offices of Sheriff, Prosecuting Attor.
ney, Circuit Clerk and County Sur
veyor.
John II. Fleming is one of the best
known and most highly respected
citizens of the county. He is a man
OF business ability and financial res
possibility. He is man who can
be trusted to execute the duties of
the responsible office of Sheriff with
entire satisfaction to the people. He
is tried man and not a mere ex-
pertinent.
If the people want a competent Of
ficer-if they prefer honesty, capa-
bility and experience rather than a
mere partisan in the office of Sheriff
John L. Fleming will be elected over
his competitor by an almost unani-
vote.
What we have said of the Demo
cratic Candidate for Sheriff may be
said with equal proprietv of John j.
Brown, the Democratic candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney. MIR. Brown
has lived among us to Il good old age.
He has been tried in public station
and private life. He is known to be
faithful and true to every trust i'm
posed upon him, He is conscientious
in all the relations ?nd responsible
ties Of life. He would he as fearless
and faithful in the discharge of his
duties as Prosecutor as any man who
could be selected in the bounds of
the county, Moreover he has a wide
experience rs a practitioner and a
thorough preparation for the respon-
sible duties of this office. 1t is one
OF the most responsible offices of the
county. The rights and liberties of
the people, and the good government
of the county are largely in the hands
ofthe Prosecuting Attorney. 1t is an
office that shonld he filled by one of
the most experienced and competent,
as we'll as the most conscientious at
torneys at the bar. The Democracy
can point to Mr. Brown, and say we
have offered you such a man-you
can have him if yon please.
SO also, for the important Office of
Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Dem
ocracy offers one of the most exper-
fenced and competent men in the
connty-a man who has served in
that position until he is perfectly ia
miliar with all the details of the Of
flee, and is recognized by all as being
a most expert and efficient officer.
Mr.. ID. N. Gass, the candidate for
county surveyor is most excellent
and popular Young man from Clay
district. He is thoroughly qualified
to discharge the duties of the office
for which his friends have presented
him. He is modest, scholarly
young gentleman most thoroughly
liked wherever he is known and will
make an officer whose superior the
county has never had.
Thus we have tried men and true.
for the responsible offices ofthe coun-
ty. The Democracy is not greedy.
1t is willing to divide, and has made
no nominations for the other offices.
But for the positions named, we in
sist that every citizens of every party,
who desires good officers can afford
to vote for the candidates proposed !
by the Democratic Convention.
