The Approaching Election.


papers, in advocating the claims OF the
candidates of their choice, have been
courteous to all. While the REFLEC-
TOR has advocated the election OF the
nominees of the Democratic convention,
it does not do so simply from party
standpoint. The nominees, one and
all. are worthy of the offices to which
they aspire, and that they are honest,
capable men has been conceded by all.
w. p. SEEDS, our candidate for Pro-
bate Judge, has been resident OF this
county for over six years, and from the
time he was admitted to the bar to the
present. he has achieved reputation
in his chosen profession of which he
ought to be proud. AS City Attorney
Of Abilene and Enterprise he has per
formed his duty in most creditable
manner, and if elected to the office OF
Probate Judge everything will be con-
Quoted in a just and equitable way.
He has the ability to discharge the
duties of that Office in a manner that
will be an honor to those, who, we be-
lieve. will honor him with votes enough
to make his election sure.
NJ. V. BRILLIANT, our candidate for
Clerk of the District Court, needs no
introduction to the people of Dickinson
county. AS Deputy Treasurer of this
county for four years, he not only con-
Quoted the business of the Office IN a
ffrst-class shape, but treated every one
that had business with the office In
most courteous manner. The import
ant writs issued and other business con-
nected with the office of District Clerk,
demands a man of good judgment and
clerical ability, of which NJ. V. Brill
hart is possessed. He has been resi-
dent of this county for over ten years,
and during that time he has never, by
word or act. shown himself anything
out a square-toed, honest man. Can
the voters afford to pass such a man by!
We think not.
GEORGE E. RICHARDSON, our nOml-
nee for County Attorney, has been a
resident of this county for the last year,
and during that time has made many
friends. He did not ask for the nomi-
nation, but was urged to allow his name
TO go before the convention by many of
the best men of the county, irrespective
of party. He was admitted to the
bar in the State Of Indiana in 1872.
That he will faithfully and honestly
perform his duty if elected there is no
doubt.
D. d. HORNADAY, our candidate for
County Superintendent of Public In
struction, has filled that Office in a most
admirable manner, and there is not a
man in the county that could have
made as faithful and efficient an officer
as has Dan Hornaday. Every day since
irSt elected has been devoted to the in
tereSt of our schools. He ought and
will be elected. Our public schools are
Of vital interest to all. Voters, we be-
Iiave, you believe, he is the right man
in the right place.
NJ. l.. POTTER, our candidate for the
Legislature N the south district, was
q wise choice. Mr.. Potter possesses
the necessary qualifications to make a
useful member Of the lower house, and
his vote will never be for sale. On all
questions touching the rights of the
people he will vote for their interests.
His mind is not shriveled or warped
with bitter prejudices. He is farmer
and has pursued that calling all his life,
he knows their wants and his interests
are Identical with theirs. He will be
elected
Z. y. SMALLEY, our candidate for
Representative in the north district,
was raised on d farm in the State of
Illinois, moved to Kansas several years
ago and is young man of firSt-claSs
character and unblemiShed integrity.
If elected he will serve the people of
this district to the best o. his ability.
Mr.. Smalley is a fluent speaker and an
honest man. The people of the north
district Will eject him if they consult
their own interest.
SIMON STEIN, who is an independent
candidate for Commissioner in the Third
Districtand endorsed by the Democrats,
is a fISt-claSs man in every respect.
For several years in Pennsylvania he
was superintendent o. several coal col
herys, having as high as eign. thousand
men and boys under his charge at o. %
time, which is guarantee that he is
a man Of good Judgment.
Elect him one of the Commissioners of
this county and be will be a credit and
an honor to the board. Honesty and
integrity has always been one of Simon
STEMS characteristics.
