The County Ticket.

The democrats and gTeenbackers have
joined hands in this county. They
have exchanged VOWS of friendship and
fealty, aid are singing together the vic
torious songs of the blessed.
The two parties have united upon
the following ticket, and the outspoken
honesty of its material, its character
and ability appeal not only to democrats
and greenbackers but to the people of
the whole county.
For County Superintendent of Public
instruction they offer d ID. HoRNADAY,
a man prominently qualified for the
position, as his two years record in the
Office abundantly testify. An excellent
executive officer, an honest man and a
christian gentleman, he comes before
the citizens of the county asking for his
second term. There is no reason, good
or bad, whyit should not be given to
him, and no false sense of gallantry
should take from him an endorsement
which he has richly earned.
CHAS. l.. SHERMAN, of Solomon City,
is the democratic candidate for Clerk of
the District Court. Mr.. SHERMAN has
been a respected citizen of the county
for If years or more. During all this
time he has been engaged in honorable
business, and until recently was drug
gist in Solomon City. His disposition,
qualifications and honesty abundantly
fit him for the position.
I nv n DIEDrIS q Of m o1.lyoJ
ability, is the nominee for County At
torney. If elected, the people of the
county may confidently expect that he
will cOnscientiOusly and faithfully per-
form the duties of the office.
a preference was expressed by both
conventions for Probate Judge. Mr..
BURROUGHS is an old resident of this
county and is almost universally respect
ed as a lawyer and liked as man. He
is particularly strong in some portions
of the county and his ability to fill the
office is not questioned.
Mr.. HENRY KANDT, nominated for
Commissioner of the 1St district, is one
of the substantial farmers of the county.
BY industry and hard work he has
gained a large, well improved and well
stocked farm, and is in what We should
call very comfortable circumstances.
Endowed with strong common sense,
great intelligence and an honest
nature, he will make one of the best
and safest commissioners the county
ever had.
Mr.. GEO. +. LIVINGSTONE, candidate
for the Legislature from the 74th dis
trict, is farmer of Buckeye township
and a supporter of BUTLER, but that
doesn't hurt him. Mr.. LIVINGSTONE
came here in early days a poor man:
what he did have was cOnfScated by the
but to-day he owns about
the finest farm and residence in the
county. And his wealth came to him
through honest industry and endeavor.
He is one of our solid men, and would
he valuable as a member of the LegiSla-
ture. Coming from the people, living
among them, imbued with their ideas
and knowing their needs, his efforts as
a legislator would be in their behalf
and no outside power could Swerve him
from his purpose to serve them.
Such man is Mr.. G. n. COGGESHALL.
Of Lincoln township; the candidate for
the Legislature from the 18th district.
Mr.. COGGEsHALL is younger man
than Mr.. LIVINGSTONE, but as a man
Of ability, information and honesty he
has few equals in the county. \ good |
speaker and of firm disposition, he will |
reflect honor upon the south district. |
His constituents will know just where |
ne stands on any and every question of |
public interest, and the work begun in
he House by Mr.. HOFFMAN will be
continued by Mr.. COGGESHALL. He
will i'll every sense of the word be rep
'esentative of the people who elect him.
The ticket, considered as a whole or
is an exceptionally strong
me. Most if not all of it will be
elected.
