STAND BY THE TICKET.

anu " uH4Lg q llLLA5 uLllSbLlS6 AZ the
polls, by voting the straight ticket and
inducing your neighbor to do so, you
may aid your party more than all the
speeches that could be made IN the
county in a solid month. By carefully
examining the ticket you will see that
your party has placed men in the field
who are fully worthy Of your support.
First, there is Jacob Nipps, of Deer
Creek township, candidate for county
treasurer. MIR. NiPps is an old resident
Of the county, an Industrious and hard
working man and saw about four years
service in the union army Mr..
Nipps is a thorough business man
and fully responsible to fill the position
TO which he aspires. We have nothing
to say against Mr.. Sanford personally,
he is a young man without the expe-
rience of Mr.. Nipps, and is backed by
bad man, Lamb, who expects to use
the democratic party for his own selfish
purposes.
For Register of Deeds, Uncle Ben
Morton, of Freedom township, will pro-
badly have a walk away. He, too, was
an old soldier, haying received wounds
in the service of his couatry. Uncle
Ben was once Register of Deeds in a
county in Iowa, and has acted in the
capacity of deputy, in this county for
considerable time. There is no more
! competent man IN the county for the
position than him, and he with be elect
ed by a large majority. We haYe
nothing to say about Mr.. Winkler, his
opponent, as we are not much acquaint-
ed with the man, indeed, he is a new
man in the county.
For County Clerk, Mr.. S. j. Hartman,
of Kirwin township, the republican
candidate, is eminently qualified. He
was a soldier in the Union army, and
has been an old resident of the county,
going through with the homestead pro-
cess, and even now supporting his fam
lily by monthly wages. Mr.. Hartman
is as well qualified for the position as
any man in Phillips county. He is hon
est, frank, and kindhearted, being per-
fectly temperate, and should he be
elected, which is now almost certain,
he will make as an efficient and Oblig-
ing officer as Phillips county eyer had. !
Mr.. G.. w. Bedford, of Phillipsburg |
township, the democratic candidate for
the same position, is a man, like the |
most upon his ticket, who never smelt !
powder. He is engaged in selling drugs
and other kindred commodities, in this /
town. We have heard it rumored that |
should he be elected he will employ a /
deputy to run the office and continue /
himself to deal out drugs at the same
old stand. We have nothing to say |
against Mr.. BIckford personally, in
many respects we believe him to be
good citizen, but there is no reason why |
a republican should support him as
against Mr. Hartman and we do not F,
believe they will do it.
For Sheriff the republicans have
nominated G. NJ. Mcclure of Logan, /
an old soldier and man fully |
qualified in every way for the position.
Mr.. Lowe. his competitor, is very !
good man, and we believe him to be
gentleman but his military record is
zero. The Greenbackers do not care a |
whit about his election, and he will be
left.
For Surveyor, w. B. Stubert, a man
known to be thoroughly competent for
the position will never be scratched by
a republican for the purpose Of sup
porting an unknown quantity. Nobody /
knows whether Adams can survey or
not, and there is too much valuable /
property effected by this Office to run
any risks.
DR.. Miley, Of Margin, and Dr.. HOuck, /
of Phillipsburg, are the candidates for
Coroner. The former being the repub-
hcan. DR.. Miley has done much prac-
tice in our town and is known to possess
medical skill. He is a man of steady /
industrious habits and would make a
good Coroner. There IS no reason why
he should not poll the full vote of his
party and he will
Last, but not least, is the Commits
sioner for the Second District. Mr..
Henry Mcdowell. the republican candi-
date, has once acted in the capacity Of /
County Clerk of this county. and is
therefore familiar with the routine of
county business. He is a man of thor
ougbly temperate habits and sterling /
integrity. The county business would /
be in good hands if he is elected. Don't .
fail to vote for Mcdowell. In fact, vote /
