For the REPUBLICAN,.


As the time will soon arrive wher
the Republicans will select q candidate
for Coroner, it is with great pleasure
that recommend to my Republican
friends Levin S. Taylo who is q can.
didate for that office. Until within a
very short space of time very little in
terest was taken in selecting a compe.
tent man for Coroner, the question gene
rally being given to some illiterate or
Incorporate man as a reward for his
supposed party services amongst the
rough element of the party in the beer
saloons or at the polls. This was a
great mistake. The office of Coroner is
a very important one. 1t is no place
for an illiterate or intemperate man to
fill. The Coroner has an important
duty to perform. His services are often
required in homes of refinement and
culture, and in the presence of ladies in
deep distress, over sad and sudden
bereavement, and the Coroner should
be the man who could command the
and respect of a family under
such trying ordeal. Such a man is
Levin S. Taylor. He is "a gentlemen Of
excellent address, of fine commanding
appearance, courteous and po-
lite to all, and strictly temperate. Such
= man would be an honor to the posi-
lion, and from present indications he
will be nominated by large majority.
He is life long Republican, and in
,very respect qualified to fill the Office
with credit not only to himself but to
;he Republican party, of which he is a
worthy member.

WaIfs.

We begin life by demanding vast
mater ial for happiness long before
middle life the reasonable mortal owns
that happiness is an elusive essence,
rarely found when sought as ali end.
But enjoyment we may find in trihep
which for q moment, at least, unlock
wide tracts Of thought and feeling.
Generosity is not the virtue of the
multitude, and for this reason selfish.
ness is often the consequence of igno.
rance, and 1t requires cultivated mind
TO discern where the rights Of others in.
terfere with our wishes.
1t 10 shame for man to rest in
ignorance of the structure OF his own
body, especially when the knowledge
of it mainly conduces to his welfare
and directs his application of his own
powers.
There is one sure way of attaining
what we term, if not utter, at least NOR.
tai happines 1t is this.-a sincere and
unrelaxing activity for the happiness
of others.
Nothing is 80 great an instance of
ill-manners az tiattery. If you tlatter
all the company you please none. If
you flatter one Or two you affrOnt the
rest.

the most worthy of the two.
Both of the candidates are compare.
lively young men, both are entirely
capable. and neither have ever held
any Office before Cat least not in this
city or State).
This certainly may be considered al
advanced step, particularly for the
Democracy, for 1t is a well.known fact
that in the distribution of Offices in that
party for many years past certain
families. or as the Morning News of
Monday morning has it, the old set is
always on hand ready to gobb. up any
thing bo it large or small, of low or
high salary; indeed they seem to think
it their right, SO much 50 that they
don't look for any other business but
the result Of last Saturdays contest
looks very mnch like AZ if the party
had dett rmined to call a halt in this
direction, for the one candidate that
was backed mp 80 vigorously by his

Those who are reporting In Whining
ton that William A. Hukill, the down
country Republican candidate for
Sheriff In not popular in Ne lower end
of the county are misrepresenting the
case. Mr.. Hukill is more popular now
than he ever was before, and he will
get an almost solid vote In the lower
Hundreds. The people see in him only
a lifelong honest and conscientious Re.
publican who would honor the Office Of
Sheriff, and they will honor him with
their votes. The Republicans of the
lower end think they are entitled to
Sheriff every now and then, and they
call upon their brethren in Whining

helping hand this time in elevating
W. A. Hukill to that office.
