penny of which he has earned by his
own honest industry. He came
among US poor and has won a place
among the leading merchants of the
county. So truly honorable and
trustworthy in his business trans
actions has he been; SO ready to en-

In Its brOadest and most consistent
sense, that the confidence of the en-
tire community in which he dwells
has been gained, won by actions, not
solicited by words, and he will re

we'll will he perform the functions of
the office that two years hence
every elector in Jefferson county will
insist upon his remaining with them
as guardian Of this county's ready
cash and custodian of the books.
But how about his opponent,
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE?
J. N. Buck has become a chronic
office seeker, and once the people en-
trusted him with the responsible
cares of the Offices of county clerk
and recorder and probate judge. You
know how he filled the bill, and the
work left for his successor in the pro-
bate office. Mr.. Buck, gentlemen,
though possessing little money,
does not own and never yet has in
vested one penny in property in this
Territory. A Chinaman is the bet-
ter citizen. for he builds and pays for
his wash house. Mr.. Buck does not
own even cayuse. He is fossiljzed
and antiquarian. He is not pro-
gressive nor liberal, but slow and al
most inanimate-so slow he will
never reach a position where he can
post the accounts and handle the
moneys of Jefferson county.
Gentlemen, have photographed
these two candidates for this highly
responsible Office and leave you to
make choice between them"
FOR SHERIFF..
That firm, tried and brave officer
John McDermott, has been re-nom-
mated. The Democracy of Jefferson
was carefully looked over and Messrs.
McDermott and P. II. Luddie of
Jefferson City selected to become
nominees before the convention.
The formers large experience and
service, his immediate per-
fOrmance of all duties. his Jealous
charge of every prisoner and econ-
omy in Office gave him greater pres
tige ir the deliberative body of repre-
sentative citizens and the first ballot
determined the question between
two good ard deserving men. He
will get there in good shape.
ENJOYABLE.
On Tuesday night after the ad-
iournment of court mine host Milt
Cooper, of the Boulder Hotel, gave
grand ball at which were present an
array of dazzling beauty, grace and
manhood, such as is seldom
in these mountain cities.
In every respect the affair was
to the very acme of
perfection in all the details. Waxed
floor and naustdchi0s, good music,
excellent management and bounti-
fully spread table unequalled any
where. If Milt makes az good a
public administrator as he does
private administrator on these occa-
slons he'll give satisfaction to the
dead If not to the heirs.
CHANCE.
