Our Candidates.

Our Candidates.
Our candidates are the candidates
placed in nomination by the Republican
party, and every one of them are gen.
tlemen of such sterling character, that
we can accord them our hearty support.
For State Senator,
HON. EDWARD 1. KIDD
was nominated on the first ballot. Mr..
Kidd enlisted in the army when but a
mere boy sixteen years of age, and
served faithfully as private in the
ranks for three years, and until the war
was ended, and the old flag floating in
glorious victory over every state and
city in the Union. Possessed of splen-
did ability, combined with honorablein in
stincts that endear him to all who know
him, he has served his town as mem
Der of the county board of supervisors
a number or terms, and was always
recognized as an able and useful mem
Der. He is now serving his third term
as a member of the Legislature from
the Third Assembly District of this
county, and in that body has made q
record that his constituents are proud of,
as an able and incorruptible legislator.
He is a fit man to represent Grant coun-
ty in the Wisconsin Senate.
For Superintendent of Schools of
Grant county,
e. L. HARPER
was unanimously nominated by accla-
nation. His denomination in such q
manner was a deserved compliment, as
he is known to be one of the most eff
ticient superintendent this county has
ever had.
For Sheriff,
ORA RICHARDS
was placed in nomination, after spir-
tied contest by several gallant COMPETE
tors who had the same right to aspire
to the position that he had. He was a
boy too young to go into the army
twenty-three years ago, but his father
was gallant soldier, and served his
country three years in the army during
the war. For eight years Mr.. Richards
has served as deputy sheriff of this coun-
ty, and SO well and so faithfully has he
performed the duties of his position,
that the people of the county felt that
he had earned and justly deserved this
promotion. Ora Richards will make
one of the best sheriffs Grant county
has ever had.

is now serving his second term, and is
one of the most efficient officers the
county has ever had. He is an old SOL

During the two terms that Mr.. Orr has
filled that responsible position, the court
records show that there have been six
ty-five criminal prosecutions in the cir.

sons sent 10 the PenttentiGry. That rec

duties faithfully.
He is competent man and will perform
s. C. MCDONALD

would be called TO fill the office of sher-
if he would perform those duties equal
ly well.
The ticket is strong throughout, and
headed by Blaine q Logan, will sweep
Grant county like a tornado, in Noyem-
ber
