THE COIN TY TICKET.

l
We had deemed it almost un
necessary to make any particula
personal illusions to the excelenc,
OF our county ticket, but, in order
to show our appreciation of the
merits of the several candidates
we think wo do them no more thar
justice to briefly refer to some o.
the principal candidates.
FOR AUDITOR.
George NJ. Giltnan's record as a
painstaking and conscien: Gus of
ticer is known to all who have
had business-and what tax pay
ers ought not TO have?-in the
auditors office. His election two
years ago over the strongest re-
publican in Stevens county, suf-
hcently attests the confidence the
people have in his integrity and
eapability. 1t is needless to re-
fer at length to the improved
methods he has introduced into
the conduct of that important of
fee. 1t is no disparagement Il
the popular gentleman who seeks
to dlsplace him to say that he will
be elected by substantial major
ity.
FOR TREASURER.
Gus. Stenger is standing on his
own bottom and has no other in
auence aud backing than the es-
TEEN Of those who. admire his
straightforward business career.
Connected for many years with
one of our most successful and en-
ergetic merchants, he has gained
The confidence of the many with
whom he has been brought into
laily contact. Beneath his quiet |
md unassuming demeanor there
5 a world of good, sound, business
common sen; e, which willprove of
7alue to the taxpayers in the of
ice which he will be called to fill |
It the expiration Of the term of
he present deputy treasurer. His
lection will be deserved compli-
nent, aud will not depend upon
he efforts of anyone in power or
position in his behalf.
FOR SHERIFF.
James Delahunt is too modest
0 believe that he can "he sheriff
ust as long as he wants to-" but
ny one who knows him is salts
led that the energy and good man
cement with which he conducts
is own affairs will be of value to
he tax payers in the discharge of
he duties imposed upon the sher-
I. He represents the strong and
ctive young workingmen of
tevens county. He is no political
chemer or would-be boss, and
eceived his nomination without
ny solicitation on his part. 1t is
afe to say that his election will be
ue to the recognition by the vot-
rs of the county of honest merit,
nd no other cause.
FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.
John G.. Hancock is a farmer,
nd his services as county COM
Missioner have made him doubly
ualifed to fill the Office in which
e will do himself credit. It is
ife to say that he will be his own
sgister of deeds, in the service of
le people, and no one at the ex-
iration of the term upon which
9 will enter on the first Tuesday
4 January next will have anything
} show at variance with what can
