TO m2tntaln party supremacy ~
the duty Of Republicans In sn. OF
year e. much e. ct other times.
There is no excuse for putting q
weak ticket in the Geld at any elee-
tlon. AZ no time should ticket be
nominated that II weak In any par
tIeuIar. Every name should re-
eeIve the endorsement Of the party
90 10 the availability and the strength
% will add 10 the ticket.
We Judge the future by the past.
The lamp Of experience IL the only
safe guide In politics - well as In
business matters. The Republicans
Of Saline county are TO decide, on
Monday next, by popular voice, a.
to the candidates they wish TO
place upon their ticket for the No
vember election. They desire be-
yond . doubt 10 make . ticket that
will win from top 10 bottom with
out break. II IL very important
that no mistake should be made.
A careful survey Of the field and 9
T,sOper consideration Of all the fac
tors that 60 TO make up the personal
issue ut the primary on Monday
next, lead the JOURNAL to the ire
sistible conclusion that the best In
terests Of bhe party and the greatest
strength to the ticket will be sub
served by the selection Of Mr.. Quin-
cy as the candidate for sheriff.
Il Is beyond . doubt Mr.. Quincy
Is q strong candidate for the nomin-
alton. In our opinion, gathered
from observation and dillgent In
quiry, he will be the choice 81 plu-
rality. He has made q vigorous and
industrious canvass Of the county,
gaining friends by his gentlemanly
course and his thoroughly open and
manly methods Of procedure.
He Is In the prime. Of life, popu-
lar with all classes square-toed,
fiat-fOoted Republican without q
blemIsh, . hustler from way back,
always hustlIng for the best inter
ests Of Saline county as well as
for his party, level-headed
business man, and plainly compe-
tent for the duties Of the position 10
which he honorably aspires, and
which he will be grateful for.
II 10 the first Office for which he has
ever asked, and, Of course, his name
will 20 on the ticket without the
notOriety Of ever having been be-
featsd.
But more than this, and above al,
he has been In complete accord with
the policy and principles Of the Re-
publican party from the time he
cast his first vote to the present.
There has never been any wavering
In his party allegiance. His record
is clean cut and lIreproachAbIe.
This record reaches through all
slectIons-nstional, state, county,
city and ward, and should 60 q
great way with Republicans. He IL
the sort Of timber that will always
add strength to = ticket.
In recommending the nomination
Of Mr.. Quincy the JOURNAL has I'm
view the safety Of the ticket. IL 10
not 10 the credit Of Saline county,
with Its rousing Republican major
ity, that 10 should have q Democratic
sheriff. IL IL for fear Of . repetition
Of the election Of two years ago that
this position Of the JOURNAL 10
taken. Whomsoever may be noml-
mated by the Republicans the
JOURNAL will support with hearty
good will, to the best Of Its ability.
But Il feels that II other selection be
made for sheriff than Mr.. Quincy
that the result will be doubtful. All
uncertainties should be eliminated
from this primary election.
All other considerations should
give way 10 the question-"who is the
strongest man for the tlcket-who
will leave no doubt in the mind Of
any voter as to the result n he be
nominated ?" This is the test In the
primary for the voters thought.
Nominate Mr.. Quincy and there
will be ne doubt Of the result. Give
him whole-hearted support
throughout the county and nomI-
nate him, and neither Mr.. Gentry
or any other Democrat can succeed
the present incumbent Of the sher-
lff+s Office.
Be careful Of your ballot on Mon
day next.
