NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
STAND BY YOUR COLORS.

There is foolish notion which gets in
to the minds of many good people that it
looks like independence to bolt the rcgu-
lar party nominations. Some will even
cast their votes for men opposed to their
convictions, because they happen to adj
mire their personal qualities. Some
think it smart to cast their votes for the
weaker party and often the weaker man
to pay off some grudge or voice their
general discomfort or restlessness. This
county is overwhelmingly Republican,
and ought to elect Republican officers
when proper men are nominated, and
yet, often Democrats are allowed to slip
into the best offices over men as worthy
as themselves. Such offices as Congress-
men, Senators and Representatives to
say nothing of the county offices, are
not to be carelessly thrown away through
prejudice or caprice. Don't vote the
Democratic ticket, just because some
body asked you to. Stand up and have
an opinion Of your own, and voice your
convictions IN supporting your fellow
Republicans so far as they are worth y

GALLANT SOLDIER.

When the call came from government
for volunteers to go to the front and i'm
peril their lives for the nations defense,
it was said, with one accord, that those
who survived the fiery ordeal, should of
right, become the recipients of the high
est honors and favors a grateful people
could bestow upon them. The time has
not gone by for redeeming that pledge
and will not, SO long as one of these
heroes is able or willing to fill positions
of public trust.
Of all the brave men who went forth
from Mower county to the war of the Re-
bellion, no one has more honorable re-
cord than Allan Mollison, the Republican
nominee for Sheriff. He was the first
man who enlisted from Mower county,
and her only representative in the i'm
mortal Minnesota First regiment. His
army record is without blemish, and con-
spicuous for deeds of personal bravery,
which entitled him to promotion of which
he was unjustly deprived by favoritism.
Not only did he share, in common with
his comrades, the perils of the first Bull
Run battle, but was wounded in the hip
while bringing his Captain, who was NOR
tally wounded, from under the cross-fire
of the enemy's batteries. He was among
the men rallied by Col. Mark H. Dunnell
to fight the Black Horse cavalry, and says
Col. Dunnell bore himself on that occas-
ion with conspicuous gallantry. He car
ried the colors of the regiment at Balls
Bluff, and second battle of Bulls Run.
Mr.. Mollison served for 8 years and 2
months, and bears on his. body the seals
of five wounds. So truly patriotic is the
spirit of this brave soldier that he has
never applied for pension, and says he
never will, although many are drawing
pensions who never left the state during
the war and never participated In an en-
gagement. We believe it to be simple
act of justice that every man who pro-
fesses to he Republican,. and to stand
by the glorious records of his party, to
give his vote for Mr. Mollison, and not
only every Republican, but our war Dem
ocrats cannot fail to be true to the men
who bore the peril and hardships of the
fray.

GOOD WAR RECORD.

Our Republican county ticket has a
good war record. The men who make
up the ticket have an unusually patriotic
record All, with one or two exceptions,
were soldiers in our late civil WAL EX-
anime the list:
James F. Carson, candidate for Re-
preventative in the North district was a
volunteer soldier, and carries with him
the scars of wounds received in battle
Henry W. Lightly, for Representative
South district. was a private in Co. II,
Goth Wis, and every one who knows
Hank" Lightly, knows that he must
have been brave and faithful soldier.
Henry w. Elms, candidate for County
Auditor, was a private in Co. K, 10th
n. Y, and was true and loyal soldier.
Miles NJ. Trowbridge, candidate fol
Register of Deeds, was among the frs,
to respond to his country's call, having
enlisted in the First Wisconsin, Co. G.
Allan Mollison was the very first
man in Mower county to respond to
'Uncle Abe's:: call for volunteers. He
enlisted in Co. 3, First Minnesota Regi'
ment He is the Republican candidate
for Sheriff, and will receive the support
of all the old army boys.
Capt. Ormanzo Allcl, candidate fol
Probate Judge, was for some two years
during the war Provost Marshal of the
First Minnesota district, with rank Of
Captain. While he never saw active ser
vice in the field, he was faithful servant
of his country, and would have been
ready for the fray had necessity demand
ed it.

County Attorney, was mere lad wher
the civil war was waging, and was not

''TIIE will of the people, as expressed
in convention, should be respected" says
Sheriff Corey in his letter published else
where. Is Corey respecting the will of
the people, as expressed in convention,
when he is using his influence to defeat
Mr.. Elms candidate for Auditor, and Mr..
Baird for County Attorney? We under
stand Mr.. Corey docs not deny that he is
opposing these men; and we are told that
he is also working against Allan Mollison,
candidate for Sheriff. Mr.. Corey ought
to know that this course will not do him
any good, and il. is not as he would like
to be treated were he on the ticket.
