vote for-heaVen only knows what kind
of a United States Senate, certainly not
a republican, vote for reSubmission.
and for a man who emanates from. and
is urged by, cODglOmerated, feeverish
and uncertain. element.
We would urge upon the republicans
of this county the necessity of standing
by the entire county ticket. This a
presidential year and a tine when party
organization should be kept intact. Let
not petty spiteS or personal preiudices
swerve you from your duty as true re-
pUbIicans, Personally we have nothing
derOgatoZy TO say of a single candidate
upon either ticket IN the field Indeed
we believe they are all gentlemen and
good citizens. But there is q vast diff
ference in the theory OF principles upon
which those men stand. w. II. Nc
Bride, the republican candidate for Rep
ressntative, is q man of sound mind
! legal ability, and undOubted integrity
If elected he will be a credit to our
comfy and a force in the legislature.
While Mr.. Boyd may be d nice enough
: little fellow, yet his legal knowledge is
| limited, his force among men Is not the
! greatest, and his vote for United States
Senator would be d random shot.
Mr., G. A. SpauldiDg has thoroughly
demonstrated his ability as Clerk of the
! District Court. The fact tha5
! nearly every attorney in
| the county is supporting
him speaks volumes: especially as attOr-
I neys have the most to do with that Office.
There Is no question as to his ability.
Then why run the risk of a change in
an Office of so much importance merely
for the purpose of giving it to some
''Other fellow" When we have sure
/ thing it is best to let well enough alone.
Mr. Sallee has had no experience and
if elected the county would haYe TO fur
him at least one years tuition.
George w. StinsOn, the republican
nominee for County Attorney, is a man
OF acknowledged legal ability He
[ promises to give a fair and honest
/ enforcement to all the laws upon our
statute books, and we can see no rea-
son why he should not poll the full
republican vote. Mr.. S. H. Bradley,
| the fusion nominee, while good man
/ in the main, has shown some incOn-
sistencies. In 1882, in an open letter
/ he severed his connection with the
democratic party for the reason that it
was opposed to prohibition and the
enforcement of the temperance laws.
/ At the present time he stands upon
the platform OF that same party when
it is openly opposed to the law and III
favor of 6-su omission
There is little use to speak of the
candidates tor Probate Judge, as near
/ ly everybody will vote for Judge
lSpaulding; and it is but a just recOg-
milton Of honest and efficient service
that they should do so. we predict
for him the largest majority of any
man on the ticket.
Both candidates for Superintendent
of Public Instruction are undoubtedly
qualified, so far as education is con-
eerned, for the position. They each
hold the same grade of certificate,
and each one seems to be a gentleman
/ both morally and otherwise. But,
Mr. J. H. Young, the republican nom
inee, is an old settler in the county,
! having passed through the trials of a
/ hOmesLeadeT. He has been closely
! connected with the educational inter
ests, as a member Of the board of eX-
| aminers, for 81 number of years, and is
familiar with the school system OF
Kansas. On the other hand Mr.. L.
NJ. Cole, the fusion candidate, has
! been IN the county con paratiVely but
a short time. He is a southern demo
crat, being from Virginia, and OF
course is iuIGued more or less with the
sentiments and ideas of that locality.
He certainly could not be expected 10
be so familiar with our school system
as MIR. Young, and we believe that
true republicans will stand by their
nominee for superintendent.
We pcesulHe without doubt that the
| republicans will do their duty and
elect Mr.. Mr.. McGiIl as Commissioner
Of the first district. we have nothing
| against Capt. CoVingtOn as Il man
/ hn il a sasl
| but Mr.. McGiu is equally as well
/ qualified, and he is a republican.
Then under all those circumstances
we can see no good reason why re-
! publicans should not stand by their
! ticket throughout; then ''IoOk we'll to
! your ballots and see that no mistake
occurs" and victory viii perch upon
/ our banner
