factory manner i'm which he has dis
charged the varied and important
duties of his office for the last two years
is the best recommendation of his fit
ness for the position he occupies and
for which he has been renominated. As
an official, man, "A citizen, republi-
can and IL soldier, his record stands
unimpeached and unimpeachable. He
entered the service of his country in
May, 1861, as IA private of Co. II, Doth
o. V. l., served three years and was
discharged as sergeant. He again
enlisted in June, 1864, as private, and
served until June, 1865, having again
attained the rank of sergeant. His
health was broken down by his long
and arduous military service and con-
gress, by special act, granted him II
pension, but President CLEVELAND, in
the plenitude of his great wisdom, i'm
terposed his veto.
CHARLES III. BUTLER, genial, whole
Souled CHARLEY, our present eiflcient
county treasurer, was very properly
honored with denomination, an honor
that was well-deserved and has been
earned by intelligent and satisfactory
work during the past two years. Mr..
BUTLER is one of the leading republi-
cans of the county, farmers son,
raised in this township, well-educated,
of large experience In the peculiar
duties that pertain to his Office, emf
nently qualified for the position lac now
holds and to which he will be again
called by the sulrages of his fellow
citizens.
JOHN |. BRECK, the candidate for
the responsible Office of prosecuting
attorney, is Il young man, born and
raised in this county, a graduate of the
Michigan agricultural college and of
the law department of the Michigan
university. He is representative
young republican of more than average
ability and is at present the efficient
secretary of the republican county COM
mittee While his practice at the bar
has been of limited duration, his legal
learning and earnest desire for success
will, without doubt, enable him TO per-
form the arduouS duties of public pros
ecutor with credit and honor.
Several previous terms in the same
Office have demonstrated the ability of
ALBERT A. FosDICK, the nominee
for county surveyor. He stands second
To no Other man in the county in his
ability to perform the duties incumbent
on that Office.
OF the first nominee for circuit court
commissioner, ORAN w. ROWLAND,
modesty forbids us to speak very eX-
tensively. Suffice it to say that he has
had considerable previous experience
in the duties of the office; that he has
always been republicans; that he
served as a member of the 81 Mich.
Cav. from September, 1861, to June,
1865, enlisting rs Il private in Co. "C''
of that regiment and being honorably
mustered out rs captain of the same
company.
JAMES +. CHANDLER, the second
nominee for commissioner, like Mr..
BRECK, is a representative young re-
publican, a young man of much legal
learning and ability. While he is young
! in practice and has not long been a
resident of this county, he has already
won a reputation of which he may be
justly proud, as being a man of honor,
integrity and ability. He has been,
and still is, IA partner of Judge HILTON
and has had charge of the clerical work
of the probate Office for some time past
He well understands the duties of the
office for which he has been nominated
and is fully equipped for their dis
! charge
