election if he can divide the German
vote otherwise he will be defeated.
We expect he will get the full vote of
his party in this portion of the county.
His opponent is the strongest man on
the democratic ticket
E. S. Renne, of Marshfeld, was the
Republican postmaster in that city
during republican rule and was ousted
after the change of administration. If
he gets strong home endorsement in
the northern portion of the county he
stands good chance of election. Mr.
Crotteau, his opponent has made a
most obliging and accommodating
register and will be hard man to
defeat. Yet, it will depend upon hard
| work.
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF WOOD co.
While I highly appreciate the honor
conferred on me by the action Of the
recent Republican County Convention
in rendering me the nomination for
District Attorney. | must never-the-
less decline the same as my business
interests will not allow me to accept.
With my best wishes for Republican
success both as to local and state poll
tics, [ remain, Yours Truly,
FRANK A. CADY.
j. w. Cochran the democratic nom
inee is well qualified to fill the position
with credit to himself, and the coun-
ty at large. We would ask the repub-
licans to give him cordial support, His
election will be satisfactory to both
parties.
T. W. Burt, of this city, who has
already served the people in the capa-
city of clerk Of the court, received the
nomination for that office. Mr.. Burt
is popular wherever known and has a
wide acquaintance off Of the Wiscon-
sin Central. He was assistant post
master in this city for many years and
proved a popular officer. Mr.. Gray
has filed the Office one term with
satisfaction to the court and patrons of
| the office.
K. A. HaVenor, principal Of the
Centralia high schools, is the republi-
can candidate for superintendent of
schools. He has been teacher in
this county for many years and under
stands the wants of the schools. He
is ably and well qualified for the office
and if elected will make frst-class
superintendent. His opponent Geo.
L. Rowland, of the town of Grand
Rapids is also we'll qualified for the
position, and has several years training
in school teaching. Either of the
men will make good superintendent.
VIM. Scott one of the best surveyors
in the county, carried off the nominal
ton for surveyor by acclamation. His
ability is we'll known throughout the
county.
Last but not least comes our friend
Mr.. B. SLIDER, proprietor Of the New
Y DIRK Clothing store in this city, re-
ceived the nomination for coroner by
reclamation being the unanimous
choice of the convention For the
benefit Of those who are not personally
acquainted with MIR. SLIDER, we append
the following brief schetch Of his
business career: He left the city of
Kalishch, of Russian Poland, at the
age of Is years and sailed for this
country, landing at the port of New
York in the year 1862. After re-
mainin G in the city and state of New
York three years where he completed
his education, he came west in 1865
settling in Milwaukee, in the fall OF
that year After five years residence
in that thriving city he removed to
DePere, Wis, where he carried on a
very successful mercantile trade for
nine years, and accumulated a nice
property. In the year 1877 he came
to this city where he has since resided
His energy tact and push in his line of
business has placed him to the front
and he is now enjoying large trade.
We have the assurance from Mr.. SLIDER
that if elected, he will qualify and per,
form the duties Of the Office to the
best of his abilities.
Let the republicans of Wood county
give their candidates hearty support
at the polls on the 2nd day of Novem-
Der as an appreciation of their efforts
in undertaking a canvass in which
the odds are so much against them.
