Republican County Ticket.

ANSPoOAASoA ~O0AIy AASASl.
The last candidate for Assembly
man that the town of Brighton fur
nished for the Republican ticket was
Mr.. Lathrop Burgess, the father Of
the Republican candidate this year,
who went to the legislature in 1852
Mr. Burgess did good work for the
state in its early history, and his sor
has grown up with the county and
state and is we'll qualified for the of.
flee for which he is nominated. AS
to intellectual ability, Dwight. Bur
CESS is naturally well endowed and
he has been a student of public af.
fairs for many years. It would per
haps be difficult to find better read
or more generally informed man in
the county. He is also a man oil
courage and conscience and when
called to meet the great moral issues
in legislative discussion can be de
pended on to do his duty. The Re
publicans Of this county will honor
themselves by sending him to the
state legislature.
Mr.. J. P. Browne is doing good
work for the party in the county and
will probably surprise good many,
even among his friends. He has al
ways been staunch Republican and
a man of honor His opponent on
the Democratic ticket is serving his
third term in the office of Register
of Deeds, mot four, as we errone-
ously stated last week., and has nc
claim on the suffrages of Republi-
cans. Mr.. Browne is rapidly becom-
ing better known in the city and is
making friends wherever he goes.
The Republicans in the country
should rally to his support unani-
mously.
Mr.. Samuel B. Cropley is another
candidate we wish to speak of this
week. Where is the man who can
say aught against Mr.. Cropley? He
was soldier, and therefore deserves
well of all patriots. Loyal men and
patriots are the only ones Union sol
diers can look to for an endorsement
of their work. None of them should
forget this. AS a citizen, his life has
been without a stain, and prominent
Democrats of his own town have
spoken to us, blaming the Republi-
can party for nominating him for
County Treasurer because he is such
an efficient officer for Pleasant Prai-
RE. We are very sorry to deprive
Pleasant Prairie Of a good officer, but
it is the policy Of the Republican
party, when it sees a good man do.
ing good work to promote him. That
is what the people propose to do with
Mr.. Cropley.
The Republican party numbers
among its members many old sol
diers and some of them are suffering
day by day from the injuries re.
ceived and disease contracted in the
service of their country. The Re.
publican party called them from
their homes and babe them stop the
leaden storm that was threatening
the life of the nation. They did i

fail to appreciate their work, they ex

another and we have a chance to re

man who has led a life Of industry
and honor, and for IS years no hool
can be found upon which to hang ;
suspicion of his integrity. He is
man whom every Republican in tn.
county can and should support, am
the probabilities are thai he will ri
