ciples of the grand old party. He has
resided for some years in the town of
Jackson, and ranks very high as
practitioner, and is altogether man
of a high order of intellect. As Rep
resentative of Jackson County in the
Legislature, he will prove an excellent

Republican can afford to do any
scratching upon the Legislative ticket
We must have the Legislature, by a
good working majority, and Jackson
County-which is always faithful
should give the Republican candidate
a rousing majority. With DIR. B. F.

perfectly assured of the carrying out
Of their wishes.
