Col r A Edgerten. the colored

of for Sheriff of Pulaski county,

whether he can be of more SER
vice to the party as sheriff, or to
remain postmaster.
The Ohio State Tribune, pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, is the

Jno G Fletcher, sheriff of Pu-
laski county, collected and tnrn-
ed over to the city vernment,
over $4,000 last "Wednesday,
which the mayor and clerk paid
over on United States judgments,
leaving only about $4,000 balance
on city Indebtedness. Such a
thing has never been known
since the war, that the county of
Fulaskl only owed $4,000 and
the city only $4,000, altogether
$4,000. Why, another years
honest deal, will bring us entirely
out of debt. Let's elect none but
honest officials.
Mr. John j Straws, in this issue
of the Mansion, announces him-
self a candidate for aldermanic
honors, subject to the action of the
voter of the ward, promising
if elected, to do all in his power
to work to the interest of the city
and particularly the Sixth ward.
He feels that from his long con-
nection with the city govern
ment and his personal knowledge
of the wants of the people, that
he can represent them to the
satisfaction of all. We say, give
Mr.. Straws a trial. lie is compe-
tent and willing to serve his peoe
pie. So all republicans are ex-
pected to come out and give him
solid vote.
Col. Jno. q Fletcher has for
mally declared himself a candi
date tor governor on the demo-
cratic ticket. We think it would
be best for them to nominate him,
or we may make him the Ar
kansas Malone. We think he is
far the best and most available
man named. lie has broad ideas
and understands how to rule a
large number and variety of peo-
pie. Unlike other aspirants, he
has been beyond the limits of the
state. Yes, Col John has spent
considerable of his time in the
north and in Europe, where he
had a chance to learn something,
and the best of all, he is on the
right side of the tariff question.
We must have a protective tariff.
