TO THE REPUBLICANS OF sEpGwICK
COUNTY.


COUNTY.
Your central Committee deem it
proper at the close of the campaign
to cali your attention particularly
TO our county ticket and to give soma
reasons why it should receive your support.
1t was nominated by the largest and most
harmonious delegate convention ever assem-
bled in the county. 4 convention of repre-
sentative men of your own choosing; CON
yention in which every man was free to vote
for the candidate Of his choice. No charges
have ever been brought against any candi-
date rejecting on his personal character or
his fitness for tho Office for which he was
nominated.
The candidate for Probate Judge, Mr.. E.
B. Jewett, has in the past given entire salts
faction in the management of this most i'm
portant office. Under his administration no
estates have been squandered or wasted by
excessive charges; always protecting the in
telests OF that most unfortunate class, the
widows and orphans. And that he has been
accommodating and painstaking in the dis
charge of his duties is conceded by everyone.
The only argument used against Mr.. Jewett
is bis long term of office; but when we take
into consideration that no party has ever
adopted the rule Of changing Judicial officers
rs long as they perform their duties satisfac-
tory, it would seem to US that the argument
is in his favor and should recommend him
to the cordial support Of all. IL however the
objection is entitled to any weight it should
be borne in mind rs an offset that his oppo
nent has held Office continuously almost as
long as Mr.. Jewett has, and an office that
paws equally as well as the Office of Probate
Judge, and he now asks you to retire
worthy and efficient officer solely upon the
grounds that he may be continued in office.
We are Of the opinion that 10 Republican
who will carefully investigate this matter
will oppose Mr. Jewett or withhold his sup
port on account of this argument Is it APP
plies with equal forco to both candidates
Our candidate for District clerk, Mr.. y.
Wright, has had long experience in clerical
positions, and is well fitted for the Office of
clerk of District Court 1t requires q person
who has had experience in clerical work, and
it is conceded that Mr.. Wright is fully quail |
flied for the place.
G. w. C. Jones, our candidate for County
Attorney, is well known throughout
the count, as lawyer of fine ability, who
by his own efforts has made his way to the
front ranks at bar III which some OF the
ablest lawyers of the state are engaged IN
practice. In him the county will have safe
counselor and q vigorous prosecutor.
AR. d. S. Pence the candidate for county
superintendent, is a teacher and superintend-
ent of schools of long experience. The Dem
ocratic party nominated no one against him,
He will make capable and efficient officer
and will visit all the schools
Mr. I. II. Randall, candidate for county
commissioner, is one Of the Oldest settlers of
Sedgwick county, an upright and honorable
gentleman of sterling integrity and man of
superior business qualifications, possessing
all the business tact necessary in the dis
charge of this most important office Mr.
Randall will make safe guardian Of Sedg-
wick county's interests.
DIR. L. 4. Hatfield, candidate for repre-
sentative in the eighty-second district, was
nominated without opposition i'll the conven-
ton He has had two years legislative ex-
perience and has established a reputation
that causes him TO be recognized as one of
the leading members of the house.
Hr. r. L. Lawrence, candidate for repre-
sentative in the eighty-third district, has had
two years legislative experience. So well
has he pleased the people that the Democratic
party has nominated no one against him.
His election is conceded.
Mr. A. II. Carpenter, candidate for repre-
sentative in the eightyfourth district, is the
only candidate from the country on the tick
ct. He is an old resident OF Sedgwick coun-
ty. No question rs to his ability to make an
efficient legislator has been raised. The first
ward in the city is in his district and the Re-
publicans of that ward ought to give him
their entire support. 1t is duty they owe
TO the country, which has always supported
the city candidates.
