security enough to cover them? Is this a

! and ability, We proposed his name for the
Legislature. II We make the change. the peO.

pose to send him to the Legislature for his
benefit. While it would honor and help him,
| 1t would also honor and help the people moro.
| and while the remuneration would be greater
| in the ONCE he is now a candidate for, we
doubt the propriety Of asking the people to
| make such a sacrifice merely for his own per-
| sonal gain, or to ask the people to give up
their choice for the personal benefit OF
| any two or three persons. Besides. we think
| the east side of the county is this year enti-
| tied to good share of the offices, and permit
| US to predict, should the present course be
pursued, the candidates for the Legislature
and County Treasurer on the Republican
ticket will both be from the west side.
