Toshc Democracy Of Hooking County.


your vote for candidate for Rep
resentative, and the Republican
Managers urged On by their mas
ters in the State. will use every
lefort to induce you to cast 1t in
| favor of their candidate.
| In doing this they have several
objects in view. first IN the salts
faction it will afford in defeating
your nominee and enabling them
to laugh at the gullability of
Democrats permitting a Demo
cratic county to be counted, so
far as its Representative is CON
cerned, in the Republican col
umn.
! Secondly, to insure one more
vote for a Republican U. S. Sen
ator. and again, that it will be
the beginning of the end of Dem
ocratic supremacy in Hooking
county.
For tie hope is, that the anger
and dissatisfaction that will be
engendered by the defeat of a
candidate, this year will result
in the defeat of one or two more
next, and finally to the placing
of Hooking county permanently
with the Republicans.
The methods pursued this year,
while not altogether new, are
persisted in with perhaps more
energy than common, and it Is
well that Democrats should be
upon their guard and consider
what is involved in the contro-
versy and what is to be gained or
lost in the result.
Mr.. Buerhaus is young man,
bright, capable and energetic;
has been in public life for num-
ber of years, and his public career
matter of local public history.
He has filled NOTICE of great
public trust and his success in
discharging its duties has been
phenominal.
A fair inspection of his official
record will show that he has
made greater success than al
most any officer that has ever
held public Office in the county,
and all the employed liars of the
Republican party will not be
able TO show otherwise.
Starting in life poor German
boy, self-educated and self-made,
thrown into contests where The
conflict of important interests
were calculated to arouse hatreds
and prejudices against him, he
necessarily and to his credit made
enemies; but he at this same
time made fighting friends.
Upon these very important du-
ties placed upon him, he has ia
ken his course with even Judge
ment,Sand has ever acted with
courage and resolution. So that
with all the malignancy of his
political enemies, and his per-
sonal one who furnishes articles
for publication against him, and
whose per6dy he exposed, caus-
ing him to 60 where he belongs,
is to be said to his credit. Urged
BY the desire for success, assailed
BY the most unscrupulous falsi
icrs that could be procured from
he Republican ranks, they are
unable to specify or point out
,ne dishonorable, dishonest or
liscreditable official act during
his official career.
In saying this it is not forgot
en- that one of the methods |
sdopted by his enemies is the call
If the cowardly slanderer aud |
assassin of private character to
mpute by innuendo and by gen
sral charges.
What is intended to be said is
hat no Republican, great as the
is to do so, has been
ound with sufficient hardihood
o utter one specific charge i'm
the official honor, judg-
nent or integrity Of Mr. Buer-
!aus, and it is safe to say none
uch will be found.
AS his career has been brilliant
nd successful, he has before him
life of-usefuiness that will re-
Iect credit npon himself, the
,arty that sustains him and the
ounty that ho will represent. !
Upon the other hand, the nom
nee Of the Republican party,
