viduals who are slipping around on
the sly, lodging the officers and
boarding on their friends hard

brought about by the enactments
of the Judge. Every grand jur,
opens fire on the new parts of evils

Volume Four.

The ADVANCE is three years old
and now, on the dawn of the fourth
year, we desire only to say a few
words:
We have endeavored to give our
readers good local paper and we
flatter ourselves that we have. at
least, partially succeeded, judging
from the generous support which
has been given us. Improvements
viii be made as our patronage in
creases.
1t has always been our aim to be
just to all, but never to shield ras-
eality and tricky, and the ADVANCE
will continue to "hew close to the
line, let the chips fall where they
may"
Whilst our political convictions
may not be in accord with all our
patrons, it will never be our inten.
ton to offend any one; but we shall
honor and esteem person who will
ON all occasions stand up for the
party and principles he thinks are
right
We heartily thank our friends
who have aided in establishing the
ADVANCE and are glad that they
are pleased with the course pursued
by the paper
We shall continue to publish the
ADVANCE in the interest Of the
people and shall never favor any
clique or ring. We shall also, al.
ways endeavor to be truthful and
just and those Of our readers who
are not thus inclined will confer q
favor on us by At once ordering the
paper stopped.
1--WE do not belong 10 our patrons
Our paper is wholly our own;
Whoever may like it may take b..
Who don't, may just let it alone. 50

JAMES McQUIN
Endorsed by the Old County
Court.

At the late term of the county
court resolutions approving the
official course of Judge McQuin
were presented by the Prosecuting
Attorney, adopted by the court and
spread upon the record. Judge
McQuin has made an able, impair
tial, industrious and progressive
member of our county court, and
we doubt not that he will take with
him TO private life the sincere thanks
OF the people for the benefits
derived by the county from his
official services. Judge McQuin
was not defeated on account of per.
sonal opposition or disproval OF
official conduct, but solely as party
necessity. The people did not like
him less, but the party more. The
time for electing Republicans to
office in Wayne county has gone
by. We can no longer afford to
be more generous to them than
they are to us. 1t matters not wha,
the fitness and qualifications are.
we have material in our own ranks
just rs good and hcnceforth will use
it Wayne Adcocate of Dec. Ed,
1886.
Following are the resolutions
above mentioned:
WHEREAS, The present term of
this court closes the official acts of
Hon James McQuin as member
of this court, and as its President
for the last six years,
ResOlUed, That the members of
this court, and the officers connected
herewith, take pleasure in declar.
ing the said James McQuin has
shown himself to be emincntly
qualified to discharge the duties
connected with his said position, and
that in the discharge Of his official
duties rs member of said court,
and its President, he has shown
himself to be fair and impartial, dis
regarding sections, parties, or pri-
vate individuals; he has acted at all
times and under all circumstances
for what he believed to be for the
interest of the public.
I'd, That the interest the said
ames McQuin has always mani
tested in the general improvements
and welfare of the public should be
highly estimated and fully appre.
ciated by the entire people of
Wayne county, irrespective of
party affiliations.
