We have stated tina: the Democrats of
Park county put up a most excellent
ticket last week for the voters of that

of our readers in that country who are
~unacquainted with the nominees, we
present the following:
D. P. Van Horn, the nominee for

office which he now holds and is striving
to secur an endorsement by a second
term. 1t has been well said of him, that
the affairs of his Office, his records, &C.,
will bear comparison with the best. Mr..
Van Horn should and undoubtedly will
be elected to fill the Office to which he
was appointed at the Inauguration of
Park county. 1t has been a hard position,
owing to the fact that the incumbent
had to do a great deal of initiatory work.
J. a. Lowell, the nominee for treasurer,
is an old-time resident of the upper Vel

T. P. Mcdonald, who has been nomin-

Gallatin county for two years and his
work speaks for itself. He is a young
man a permanent resident of Park coun.
