THE COUNTY TICKET
Is no less q model of excellence than is
that for the Legislature. The men
thereon are capable, successful, sober
citizens, whose names are tarnished, not
by even breath of suspicion.
First on the list stands
JAMES G. KAYs,
Candidate for Sheriff This man bas
held public office, both in the service OF
the city, and in that of the county. In
all the time he was in trust, he approved
himself as most thoroughly faithful and
c. mpetent. The first citizen who has
been brought in contact with Rays IN his
offi cial @ tpaciy, and who has fault to
| find with his method of dscharging these
duties, has yet to be found. Kays'
hands are clean, spotlessly clean In all
the acts they have performed. Nor Is
this purity limited TO his public acts.
In all the relations of life, he is far above
suspicion. He has had valuable expert.
ence in the duties of the office to which
lie aspires, and will come to their dis
charge q ute as thoroughly equipped as
would his opponent. Kays is another
maj whom all the workingmen OF the
county who are true to their own inter.
ests Will give their votes. The currant
campaign will be crucial test of the
sincerity and earnestness of the wage
winners. If they mean what they say,
are intelligent to stear clear OF side
shows set up by the Republicans by
| means of hired charaltans, and can act
in entire harmony, they have at this
time most excellent opportunity to
show it.
JOHN N. BR0ADED
Comes forward for re election to the of.
| flee of County Treasurer. "Honest Ohm"
mas one of the largest political followings
| in the county. In his office, of course,
he is clear as the sunlight. As a private
citizen his record is one to be proud OF
A poor mechanic, when misfortune over.
took him. he put all he had in the world
| in the hands Of an assignee for the bene-
fit of his creditors. Every dollar of his
possessions went out of his own control
and all it brought went to pay Oft his
debts, without favor or preferment OF
any individual. When the assignee came
| into court and made an accounting show
| ing that all the creditors, who had made
any claim had been paid 80 cents on the
dollar, Broaded was discharged from all
further liability in the eyes of the law
| In the forum of his own honest con-
science, he was still debtor, and as
such he vent to work at his trade. In
due time he paid to each and every debt.
or the other 20 cents of his debts, and
stood free of all obligations to all men,
| were the high court of the purest heav-
ems to be his judge.
GEORGE $. PATTON, ESQ.,,
Asks the citizens of the county to make
| him their D strict Attorney, and they
will do it. This able young lawyer has
| been known here since his very early
| childhood. In few years he has
| achieved au exceptional reputation in
his profession. Learned in the lore OF
| the law, able in debate, eloquent in
leading cause, honest beyond the
shadow of suspicion, honorable to a
chivalrous degree, all interests will be
safe in his hands. If his name is ter.
| ror it will be to the abandoned. The
! innocent will have nothing to fear at his
hands. He is not seeking the position
| for the emolument there is in it. His
own practice is worth more than the sal
ary Of the office. 1t will not be to en-.
rich himself in any way that he will
serve the people. His only ambition is
to give the people thoroughly capable
and honest administration OF an impor.
| tant office.
+ Passing to the office of County Asses.
| sOr
| r. BILDERRAIN,
| Appears for reelection. IT there is a
man in the county who is thoroughly
competent in all respects for the duties
Of the office he seeks, this imam is Re.
fugio BIlderrain. This is more than
matter of speculation. The trial has
been made, aud the proof is before the
people. Bilderrain has assessed the
property of the city, and that spf the
county, and he has done this difficult
| duty for years to the very general salts
faction of the tax.payers. 1t is rare
thing for an Assessor to hold office so
long. and to hear SO few complaints.
| This is the more remarkable in the case
! of the County Assessor whose duties are
of the most complex and delicate nature.
| Vote for Bilderrain, taxpayers, If you
| want to feel secure that your Interests
will be in no wise jeopardized. This ls
par excellence the Office where tue re-
election of competent, careful and hon.
est man is the highest wisdom.
$. A. wALDRoN,
Our candidate for Recorder, is a most
excellent man in all respects. He is
making a splendid canvass OF the county
and is winning votes wherever he goes.
He is honest, capable, and has plenty
of energy. If elected he will give his
| whole time and attention to the duties
| of his Office and will reflect the highest
credit on the office and be an honor to
the party. lie is another man for
whom every workingman issure to vote.
BY the way Blderrain will make great
inroads in the territory of his adversary
in this same direction.
| W. J. A. SMITH,
| The nominee for County Clerk is an.
other strong man with all classes OF the
people. He has splendid, ideal qualiti-
cations for the pla Q. This, like many
other of the nominees, is man so well
known here that it seems utterly work
of supererogaiion to speak much of him to
the people. Nearly all the people OF the
county know him personally. He is
known to all as man of the very high.
est probity in every walk and relation
of life. He is man of as high qualif-
cations mentally as morally. In him
the county will have Clerk who with
scrupulous exactness will guard her ev-
cry interest with the vigilance of wide,
awake intelligence. At the end of his
term of office there will not be one citi.
gen in the county who has been brought
into contact with Smith in any relation
who will not want an opportunity
