County Politics.

The call for the republican county
convention to be held on Tuesday, Aug.
18th, appears In this issue. Candidates
are to be nominated for the county Of,
fees and delegates selected to the various
conventions. The call brings the ques-
ton of candidates into prominence, but
IL Is assured that there will be no contest
In the party for these nominations. Re
publicans IRE unanimously In favor of
extending the compliment implied by u
second nomination upon those who
have served the people 80 faithfully dur
ing the past two years.
Mr.. g, III. Vail, rs clerk of the district
court, has discharged the duties of that
office with eminent ability. Simulta-
neous with his induction into tho Office,
the duties pertaining thereto were
largely Increased, but the incumbent
mastered the situation by close applica.
ton, study and painstaking conduct, SO
that the affairs of the Office have always
been correctly and neatly transacted.
Audubon county has never elected u
clerk from either party who has given
more universal satisfaction. In the of
flee OF records, Mr.. A. l.. Viewer has al
50 gained q reputation for promptneSs,
accuracy and neatness. Personal at,
tontion has boon given to every instrll-
ment coming to his hand In the two
years of his incumbenGy tho very inn.
portant business OF that Office has been
transacted In u business like manner,
and patrons OF the Office have been
pleased to commend his conduct with
out qualification. County ATTORNEY
Hanna has despatched the business OF
that Office In manner that entities him
To the peoples favor business Of ths
Office has been taken up promptly, and
brought before tho first ensuing term of
court and tried upon Its merits. There
has been no persecution In his prescott
ton, but the guilty have been brought
to Justice, The amount of fines inn
posed by his vigilance and persistence
has la great measure compensated for
the increased court expenses since liti,
CATION has been increased by the effort
10 stamp out the liquor traffic. lie has
been an able fearless prosecutor, win
ming his best endorsement In q universal
commentator from the members of
the bar. Mr.. Armstrong, as u member
OF the board, has been u valuable man
to the county. First appointed to fill 10
vacancy, later elected To I'LL out the I'M
expired term, he has served the county
u year and half, introducing business
methods In the management of county
affairs which have proven wise economy
without the semblance of parsimony.
IL would be u poor policy for electors
to consider change ut this time, when
the board acting In harmony, is making
great changes in county matters, and is
but fairly commenced in establishing
the county poor farm enterprise. The
board Is well composed, and no change
should be made. Mr.. Armstrong has
not announced his wishes In the prem
Uses, but we presume will be governed
by the wishes of the people, which will
doubtless be for his denomination.
These have all been exemplary officers,
are genial gentlemen, good republicans,
and would all be elected by large major
tiles. Able officers and deserving gen.
tleman, the party will honor its wisdom
in fulfilling the wish of the people that
they be unanimously renominated.
