in hand was at the throat of our gov
crnment, shoulacred his muskct and
dared the fury of the foe to liberty,
and fearlessly faced the traitors uutil
they cried for peace. Such a man VIC
think, is deserving of the suffrages of
all true and loyal men, a man who
would face bullets for liberty and hon
or. would surely he safe man for a
public trust like this.
Then MIR. II. II. CoSset, of Sand Greek
was given the unanimous vote of the
convention, which was a very pleasant
thing to notice that he was so popular.
which gives an impression that we will
have an assessor next year who will
give strict attention to the wise and
equitable distribution of the taxation.
Mr.. John Evans. of Hot Springs was
selected for commissioner of 2nd dis
trict and no wiser or better selection
couId have been made A man of rare
ability and sterling integrity, with a
long experience in official business. A
man once known To ever after be es-
teemed and respected. Il soldier tried
and true, and above all a staunch re-
publican of tested loyalty.
We might go on a,l libitum through,
the whole list and still fail to give all
we believe in the worthiness of our
county ticket. Suffice 1t to say that
every candidate s!:all receive our ear
nest and hearty support as Il republican
and one who loves to see Just and hon
est administration in orr county affairs.
and one who thinks that il the ticket
is elected. and we haye no doubt about
| it. the prediction will lie verified.
The .ldrocats' man has evidently got
down to his old business. He begins tn
see the hopeless chances of gobblins
the county scat. The people of Fail
River County have become tired of the
incessant cry of Cclrichs being the only
part of Fall River Count that is good
for anything. And now he drops de-
cent journalism and sensible subjects
and resorts to abuse. We knew il
would come to this, because every sen
sible view of the matter has been eX
planned by the STAR. why the county
seat should not be moved until the peo.
ple of the county are ready to move
il, and as yet. they have failed TO an
swer one question why it should not 81
remain. But the selfish motive he
comes more apparent. that they do no
care what the people of the county wan
they propose. by all means fair, or foul
to accomplish this result, /. c. the pos
session of the county seat, and this ha
been the case ever since OelrlcEs wa
