THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

THE DEMOCRA TIC TICKET.
Pursuant to call published free gra-
tis' in the ADVANCE, the Democratic
Convention met at Adrian on Saturday
last and nominated the following tick
ct:
Auditor-John J. Kendlen.
Treasurer-H. G. Shepard.
Register of Deeds-J. A. Kennedy.
Sheriff-Gilbert Anderson.
Superintendent Of Schools-Edward
Mott.
County Attorney-H. E. Jeffries.
At this point, it seems, the COnven.
ton ran out of material and appointed
a committee of three to ill out the tick
ct with candidates for Probate Judge,
Coroner, County surveyor and County
Commissioners.
Thos. johnson and A. NJ. Becker
were chosen delegates to attend tue
State Convention.
T he Convention was harmonious,
and all the nominations were by accla-
nation except for Sheriff, where there
was a contest. One of Sheriff Amber
sons deputies named Edw. Ryan, from
Ellsworth. bucked against his superior
and B. o. Bevans, of Lecta, came up
on the other side. and "between tho
two' they just boosted Gilbert into
the nomination again. The informal
ballot stood: Bevans 6, Ryan ii, An
derson "a. The next stood: Bevalls 6,
Ryan Is, Anderson rs.
A majority of the nominees are un-
known TO the people of the county aud
may need considerable introducing
through the ADVANCE before the cam.
paign is over. The ADVANCE being the
only paper of general circulation in the
county, it is the only medium by which
all the people can be reached, and can
didates will therefore have to DO very
thankful to us for making them known
in all their blushing Obscurity and i'll
nocent desire for office.
For the present, we can only say that
we hear Mr.. kendlen is Il one-armed
man clerking in Lindgren's hardware
store at Adrian, and that he is compe-
tent for the place. II. g. Shepard is 4
bald-headed man, doing business in
Worthington in the lumber line. He
has served four years heretofore on the
ADVANCE ticket rs County Treasurer
and left the Office in mighty good shape
and with good record. Mr.. Kennedy,
We hear, is a one-legged man, from
| Westside, Il farmer and comparatively
new conner. Mr.. Anderson is the
present sheriff and just what his all
ment is we cannot say, but we have
| heard that it was an impairment in his
| speech, that is, lie talks broken Eng
lish, being Scandinavian. and some of
the smart ones have ridiculed this and
said lie ought not to be sheriff again on
this account. This, however, is in his
favor. He is neither ore armed, bald.
headed nor one-legged, but he has a
fractured speech. Mr.. Anderson has
made faithful and efficient officer.
just what Mr.. Motifs ailment is we
have not learned but he must have a
tin ear or glass eye, or some such
recommendation AS u starter. He is
one of the best educated men and best
speakers in the county and has. we be-
lieve, served two terms in the MINES
ota legislature. Mr.. Jeffries is young
lawyer recently settled in Adrian and
we know nothing of his qualifications
His ailment cannot be a f1slocated jaw
for lie is a lawyer, and it is probable
that he has nothing more to start witt
than a cork nose. The committee wht
are to furnish the rest of the ticket
have quite work before them to fine
just the right men to taper off with. but
if they want few men with a crick il
the brain and a hump in the intellect
| wa cnn helm them
