THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
From the Odessa Democrat.
The first name upon the county ticke
is that of
MR.. RORERT A. HICKLIN.
Mr.. Hicklin was reared within tw
miles of Lexington on a farm, but ha
adopted the profession of law. He j
still identified with that interest tina
first claimed his attention as a mean
of livelihood-that of farming-in ad
ditiOn to that of his profession. He
fully cOnversant with the wants of tn
constituency he proposes to represent
possesses an ambition to fully represen
| the interests of the county, and posses
ses that fine sense of honor that will
dare to do right under any and all cir.
cumstances. The democrats of Lafay.
cite county will elect Mr.. Hicklin, ant
will have no cause to regret their &C.
ton.
MR., JOSEF w. BOWMAN
was selected at the democratic primary
as the candidate of the party fors sheriff
Having served as deputy for severa
years and as sheriff for two years, he
has fully demonstrated his capacity to
fulfill the requirements of the office
He will be elected, beyond question.
JUDGE HARRISON
is the candidate of the party for COL
lector. Mr.. Harrison was Il member OF
the county court in days that were dark
and trying. He made a faithful and
most efficient member of the court when
men of weaker nerves and mentality
would have quailed. But he never fall
tered, and the people have in part dis
charged their obligations to him for
one term as collector, and they will
elect him again, as he has filled the Of
flee he now holds to their satisfaction.
COL NJ. ". L. McCLELLAND
is the present county treasurer. He
will be the next one. The Office is an
insignificant one for a man OF SO large
a brain, and of such varied accom-
plishments. He has been of great SER
vice to the party in the county and in
the state, and the democrat only re-
grets that he is not mentioned for a
position more BETTING his talents and
his services to the party.
The democracy present the name of
MR.. WILLIAM B. WILSON
for prosecuting attorney. The party
showed its high appreciation of Mr..
Wilson's ability to properly fill the po-
sition by retiring IL of the best prose-
cutting attorneys in the state, and he
will be elected by a large majority over
the "nice" young man, Mr.. Price.
MR., JOHN B. sANTMYER
is the democratic nominee for assessor.
He has served for eight years as depu-
ty assessor in a most satisfactory mail
ner, and has fully earned the position
of county assessor. He will experience
10 trouble whatever in being elected.
MR.. CLIFTON B. DANIEL
is the democratic candidate for circuit
clerk. Mr.. Daniel has nothing to learn
about the duties of circuit clerk. HIS
knowledge of the duties and require
ments of the Office is perfect. New
statutes governing the duties Of circuit
clerk will have to be enacted before
Mr.. Daniel eau add anything to his
stock of knowledge in the line of that
office. No one doubts his election.
For the Office of probate judge, it is
farsical to mention the name of WOeste-
myer as the opponent of
JUDGE xENoPHoN RYLAND.
The Office is a small one for a man of
Ryland's caliber, but as he has asked
tor it he will get it, beyond any posi-
bility OF a doubt.
For county clerk
MR.. w. b. STEELE
has again been re-nominated by the ac-
ton of the June primary. To be Sc
lected even twice for the same Office is
an honor; but to be selected for the
fourth time to fill the same position
shows plainly that there must be some
deep-seated reason for the bestOwal OF
such a favor. Mr.. Steele has perform
ed valuable services, honestly and fear
lessly rendered, under circumstances of
an unusual character. The people are
we'll acquainted with Mr.. Steele's
career in Office. 1t embraces a period
in the county's history that the
people will not forget. IT he left I'M
discharged in that trying time any duty,
We have eve heard of it. Elect him.
They will, and that overwhelmingly.
For county recorder, the party have
decided for the fourth time that
CAPT. ]. D.. CONNER
must lead the party. His faultless
manner of performing the duties of the
Office, and his genial manners, must ac-
count. in a great measure, for this pre-
ference; and beside, his willingness at
all times to give his time and his mean
to the advancement of any good cause,
especially the interests of his party, has
given him a hold upon the democracy
that cannot be easily broken. 1t will
take many John Smiths to beat him
more than will turn up in November.
With
MR.. JOSEPH F. SMITH
as the candidate of the party for pre-
siding judge, the party has nothing to
fear as to his election, and as to his
curse on the county bench. His up
Brightness as a man, and his rigid econ
omy will insure the people a safe and
valuable officer.
MESsRS. ELLING AND BENTON
are both trustworthy men, and will be
elected with the balance of the ticket.
DIR. w. ]. MCDONALD,
of this city, will be the coroner of the
county after November, and Will give
entire satisfaction in that office.
