Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-10-10
THE COUNTY CONVENTION AND ITS
WORK.

UUnh.
The result of the democratic con-
vention held at Dodgeville on Mon
day last is highly satisfactory to
the democratic voters, and we believe,
to the people of the county gen.
orally. The convention was the
largest ever held in Iowa county,
only one delegate being absent.
Although the prospects were never
brighter than at this time for the
election of the entire ticket there
was no unseemly squabhling over
the nominations, no thrusting for
ward of candidates, but the several
names before the convention were
presented in a courteous and gentle
manly manner. The result was
what might have been expected
the nomination of a good and strong
ticket. 1t is hardly necessary to
make individual mention of the
candidates selected, as each one of
them is known to be worthy, and
well qualified to fill the office for
which nomined; but as not to do
so would be a departure from long
established custom we will briefly
make deserving mention OF each
candidate placed upon the ticket.
RICHARD MANNING.
of Eden candidate for Sheriff, is young man
who is highly qualified to discharge the duties
of that office. He came before the convention
very highly recommended by his friends and
neighbors and the fattering vote that he re-
ceived in the convention showed that he is not
only popular at home but throughout the whole
county. He will make good Sheriff.
PHILIP wEIDENFELLER,
of Mineral Point candidate for Treasurer is an
honorable and upright man, conscientious in the
discharge of every duty which deyolves upon
him. In this city where he has lived for SO many
years no citizen is more highly esteemed, or
m ore generally respected. If elected, of which
there is scarcely doubt, he Will perform well
the duties of the office, and guard with fidelity
the funds of the county entrusted 10 his keeping.
VII. KEANE,
our present County Clerk, was nominated for the
Office. the duties of which he has ably and faith
fully performed during the past two years. The
work attendant upon this office was largely in
creased on account of the active efforts put forth
by the board of supervisors to collect the delin-
| quent taxes of the county, but he proved equal
| to it. working hard and doing everything re-
quired of him in courteous and atfable manner,
winning for himself the confidence and respect
of all with whom he came in contact.
J. l.. LEONARD
was renominated as candidate for the Office of
| the Circuit Court. Mr.. Leonard has made a
careful and painstaking officer. He is thorough
| ly conversant with every detail of the work
which he is called upon to do. 1t is frequently
remarked that he has has made one of the best
Clerks of the Court that Iowa county has ever
had. His fidelity in the past is a sufficient quar-
anty that he will conscientiously discharge his
public duties in the future. He is young man
who ought to be- and we believe will be elected
GEO. w. STRONG,
candidate for Register of Deeds, has performed
the duties of this Office in highly satisfactory
manner. Mr. Strong is an excellent penman, a
courteous gentleman. and withal one of the most
popular men in the county. lie is in no sense an
Office seeker. and is deserving of the support Of
the people of the county. He will undoubtedly
be eelected by large majority.
ALDRO JENKS,
candidate for District Attorney, is young lawyer
of excellent ability. By hard study and close
application to the duties of his profession he
has gained an enyiable reputation. If elected
District Attorney for this county, and we feel
sure that he will be, that office will be ably
filled. and the interests of the people so far his
official duties are concerned will be well taken
care of.
THOMAS II. ARTHUR,
of Dodgeville, candidate for County Surveyor is
a young man in every way qualified to attend
to land surveying and all other matters con-
nected with the office The high recommended
dation given to him by our present surveyor,
Robert Wilson, attests to his skill as surveyor
| and his merits as man.
J.F. BROWN
candidate for Corone., needs no introduction to
| the people of Iowa county. His good natured
| democracy, whether sharing with his brethren
the sorrows of defat rejoicing it'll them in the
the JOY of victory has contributed greatly towards
the general health and happiness of his party
friends il this county.
MISS ROSE BOWLING,
our present superintendent of Schools, was re-
nominated as a candidate for that office. All
who are familiar with the work which Miss
Bowling has performed in the schools of the
county bestow upon her unstinted praise She
has labored zealously to advance the school in
terests OF the county, and her efforts have been
awarded with a high degree of success. There
is no doubt that she will devote the same
zeal in performing her duties in the future as in
the past
J. b. HUSE
is the nominie for Member of Assembly fol the
Western District. He needs no introduction as
he is well known as a conscientious young man,
who enjoys to high degree the confidence of
the people. He will ably represent his district in
our coming legislature.
JAMES RYAN.
| The unanimous denomination of Mr.. Ryan for
member of Assembly for the Eastern district is
sufficient evidence that his constituents are well
satisfied with the record which he has made as
their representative. Mr.. Ryan has ever been
found at his post of duty, working jealous
ly and impsrtialy for the interests of the people
of the district.
The ticket is one of the strongest
ever presented for the sulfrages of
the citizens of this county, and is
deserving of the consideration of
every voter whose duty it is to aid
in selecting honest and efficient
officers.
