Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1886-10-15
THE COUNTY TICKET.

THE COUNTY TICKET.
The prediction recently made by The
Democrat that the democracy of Iowa
county would in all probability place
in the field for the suffrages of the
people this fall an exceptionally good
ticket-one composed of men especi-
ally fitted to perform the duties of the
several county and legislative offices
was literally fulfilled by the work of the
convention held at Dodgeville on Sat
urday last. The nominees are, with
scarcely an exception, well known to
the people of the county, and their
prominence and general acquaintance
springs from the best Of all sources
their individual worth. Not one name
has that notoriety which attaches to
the chronic Office seeker. AS a whole
the ticket could not well have been
made stronger, and we have the
utmost confidence that the action of
the convention will be ratified by the
electors of the county at the polls in
November
AS just stated, the candidates are all
representative men, and therefore need
no extended introduction to the readers
of The Democrat. A short notice of
each will consequently suffice for this
week.
HENRY PENGELLY,
| The candidate for Sheriff, is q we'll
known citizen of Dodgeville, and is
engaged in the livery business at the
county seat He is most popular
where best known and is well qualified
| to make an excellent sheriff, having
the advantage in age, experience and
executive ability over his brother John
who is a candidate against him on the
republican ticket.
WILLIAM II. CURRY,
The candidate for Treasurer, is one of
the oldest, most highly respected and
popular citizens of Mineral Point. He
enjoys to an eminent degree the con
iidence of his fellow citizens for integ-
rity and such painstaking, careful,
business ability as should commend
him for the duties of the important
office for which he is a candidate.
To him a public office is indeed a
public trust, and he is always faithful
in the discharge of his duties, whether
public or private. We have confidence
that the saving good sense of the
electors of the county will manifest
itself in November by electing Mr.
Curry to the Office of Treasurer by a
handsome majority.
CHARLES OHLERKING,
The candidate for County Clerk, is a
worthy and respected citizen of the
banner democratic town Of Highland.
He is an excellent penman and has had
Il great deal Of experience in the line
of work which he would have to do in
the Office of County Clerk. Although
an enterprising public spirited citizen
he has been unfortunate in business
ventures, and for the first time appears
before the voters of the county as
candidate for public office. He is
pheasant, courteous, gentleman and de
|seryedly popular The democrats of
Highland, were unanimous in asking
for Ohlerking's nomination, and The
Democrat together with his other
numerous friends asks for a generous
support for him at the polls.
JOHN CONWAY,
The candidate for Clerk of the Circuit
Court, is Il deserving and popular young
citizen of Clyde He is able and well
qualified; and if elected would make a
first class officer. The delegates from
his reliably democratic town were also
unanimous iii presenting his name for
a place on the ticket, and the members
of the party throughout the county
should work earnestly for his election.
ANDREW j. DORNAN,
The candidate for Register of Deeds,
although but middle aged man, is one
of the oldest residents of the town of
Waldwick. He is good penman, is
capable, trustworthy and reliable, and
will be strong at the polls. The Office
is one of the most important on the
ticket and the people of the county
could not well have better man to
fill the position than Andrew J. Dornan. |
ALDRO jerks,
The candidate for District Attorney,
is a hard working lawyer of first class
ability. He made an excellent run for
the same office in 1884, being beaten
by only 81 votes, while the county
went republican by a large majority |
From his admission to the bar in this |
county some years ago, he has risen
rapidly in his profession and he is now
a ripe and good lawyer, We might cite
the case for damages against the town
of Eden as an evidence of his good
legal ability. Although damages were
recovered by Parish against the town,
Mr.. jerks, as the attorney for the
town commenced suit against the c. X
\. W. railway company through whose
action the damage was sustained, and
recovered not only the amount of the
Judgment against the town of Eden
but attorneys fees and all costs in
Cured with the case The interest of
the county would be safe in his hands
rs District Attorney.
THOMAS II. ARTHUR,
The candidate for County Surveyor is
an experienced and accurate surveyor,
and gives close attention to whatever
duties he has in hand He is popular
and will doubtless be elected. He is a
resident of Dodgeville, which being
the county seat and centrally located,
is the proper place for a County Sur
veyor to reside, rs he can be readily
found when his services are required
MISS ROSE BOWLING.
The candidate for SUPERINTENDENT nf
