Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1888-09-26

| in November last Mir. Akers was born
 in Iowa about thirty years ago and came
 to this territory in 1880 10 join his
 brother, who had preceded him twelve years For the first ten months after
 reaching here he was employed at Cur
 tis' saw nill, afterwards engaging Tn min
 ing, his first experience being at the
 Lynx Creek hydraulic works. afterwards
 being engaged in quartz mining on Lynx
 creek for ten months and over three
 years at Tip Top. He was also engaged
 as clerk at w. s. Heads Camp Verde
 store for two and a half years, and at
 the time of his nomination was employed
 as bookkeeper for Joseph Dougherty in
 his West Prescott store. Possessing
 largely the genial, quiet disposition which
 was characteristic of the brother above
 named, combined with an honesty of
 purpose in all his transactions, his nom
 ination as county recorder is conceded
 to be an excellent one. He is still en-
 gagged in mining enterprises, the princi-
 pal one at present being the development
 of claim on Lynx creek. Mir. Akers
 is possessed of special abilities and qual
 ifcations for the position of recorder,
 and if elected, it is safe prediction
 that instruments filed for record will not
 be allowed to remain in the office for months before being ready for redelivery to their owners. Cbas. H. Akers will make frst-class county recorder in every respect, and be sure not to over look his name on election day. but see that it is on your ticket JUDGE W. H. McGREw,
 The nominee for probate judge on the republican ticket. is native of Ken lucky and has been alife long admIrer of
 Henry Clay. He went to California in its
 pioneer days and was for years promi- nent figure in the whig politics of that state. On the disruption of the whig and the organization of the republican party. his strong anti-slavery sentiments induced him to join the latter of which he has been a consistent member ever since. He located in Prescott with his family nearly eight years ago and has ever since been engaged in the practice of law here. He has been repeatedly elected as justice of the peace of this precinct and school trustee of the dis trict. As an attorney he stands at the head of his profession and his thorough knowledge of law renders him pecul- iarly qualified to satisfactorily fill the l office of probate judge.
 FOR SUPERVISORS,
 The republicans have presented the ! names of D. B. Harrar, of Tomto basin and L. s. Knowles, of Beaver creek. Of the personal history of these gentlemen we have learned but little. They are both engaged in ranching and stock raising and one of the best evidences of their integrity and honesty is the esteem in which they are held among their neighbors. Mir. Harrar was the unani- nous choice of citizens of both parties from his section for the position for which he has been nominated. Mir. Knowles is man of good education and we'll informed on all subjects, be- ing capable of filling any office in the gift of the people and universally re- spected by all who know him. If the tax payers really desire economy in the county expenditures and conserva- administration of county affairs, regard less of all political considerations they cannot do better or have their interests better served than by electing L. s. Knowles and D. B. Harrar.
 OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET
 It is of special importance that a sound legislative ticket is elected at the coming election. The glaring wrongs perpetrated on the people of this terri- tory in the last legislative session will need correction. The democracy in their territorial convention, by refusing to adopt a resolution endorsing the territorial administration said in effect that their majority in the legislature had made failure as the legislative branch IS part of the administration. So far z as nominations have occurred in the | various counties this year the re- publlcans have put up splendid tickets. for the legislatu IS particularly he case in this county the republican z nominees being from different parts of | he county and representing the various interests.
