The County Campaign.

The campaign in Waldo county has been open
ed, and we print to-day the names of the Re-
publican candidates for the county offices. The
candidates for the Senate, for Sheriff and for
County Attorney, We're on the ticket of two
Years ago. Having then contributed to greatly
reduce the Fusion majority thus accomplishing
all that was expected at that time, it is proper
they should share in the promised victory this
year Neither of these men nor of their assoc
ciates ON the ticket Is it necessary to speak midi
Yidually. They are all well and favorably known
to The voters of Waldo county, and are well
equipped for the respective positions for which
they have been nominated. They are not only
entitled TO the hearty support of every Repub-
lican. but should receive the votes of all who
are diSsai>tied-a> many are-with the manage
ment Of our county affairs under Fusion rule
On th- subject we shall have something to say
later.
The Democrats have not yet made their
nominations. but We assume that to be only
matter OF form, the party organ having said
sometime since of the present incumbents that
the u>ages Of the party entitle them to re
fbrt'on.N We protested then. and renew the pro-
test now, that the usages of the Democratic
party are not binding upon the voters of Waldo
county. The incumbents of the county offices
may, in the opinion of the Prog. Age. be EMIT
led to denomination. but we confidently expect
to defeat them al the polls this year.
The Greenbackers of Waldo county have also
ticket in the field. We had hoped that those
of Republican antecedents would return this
year to the party in which they did good SER
vice III the past. to help Us once more bear
the Republican banner on TO victory in county.
State and Nation. Many no doubt will do So
Those who find difficulties in the way. who
think the Greenback party still has a mission,
have elected to remain under their own ban
ner, resisting alike the Establishments and
threats Of the Fusion organ. In this they are
to be commended. inasmuch as their surrender
to the Democratic party would have involved
the surrender of convictions and manhood.

1t may not be out of place to hint to many
of our Democratic and Greenback friends who
desire the election of Mr. Blaine and propose
to vote for him in November that the proper
time to exercise their influence in his favor is
at the State election. Dexter Gazette.
The gross immoralities of the Democratic
candidate for President, Cleveland that have
of late been exposed. are too disgusting to lay
in full before our readers. 1t is indeed a most
alarming thing that great party should put
such heartless and corrupt man in nomina-

Many doubted the eXpediency of Incorporate
