Republican County Ticket.

That the Republican County conven--
ton was composed Of one of the most
intelligent and best representative
bodies of men ever gathered together
in this county the following nomina-
tions for the various county offices will
fully attest:
For Sherif-Gilbert Rutherford. OF
/ Oakland, Is the nominee for this irr-~
/ pOrtant position. He is an energetic.
young man, we'll educated, fully alive
to the exigencies Of the times, and pos
sesses the confidence and esteem of all
| his nelghbors. If elected to this most
important place, the taxpayers of JEFF
| tersOn county will be assured of faith
| full, economical and intelligent admin
istratlon of the office.
For Treasurer. nomination for
the Office of guardian Of the peoples
strong box is Gustav Eberle, of Water
town. Mr.. Eberle has resided in thies
city great many years, and for char
acter and probity is the peer of any
man amongst us. A business career Of
many years eminently qualities him for
the position. Should he be elected the
people will know that competent and
trustworthy man has been placed az
the head of the financial affairs of our.
county.
Register of Deeds-This position re-
quires man of good business habits
and fine administrative ability In
looking for candidate, the wisdom of
the convention happily selected 7. J.
Fojahn, residing and doing business
IN the village of Rome. In dealing with
his fellow citizens he deserves nothing,
but the best commentator of men of
all parties. That he would keep the,
records of the Office in a thoroughly
satisfactory manner everybody knows.
Clerk of Coun.-E. J. Hooper, of Pal
myra, has been named for this office.
Mr.. Hooper is a gentleman who can
readily adapt himself to the duties of
the position. Much care was devoted
to the selection of candidate, and as
Mr.. Hooper was vouched for by gen.
tlemen who know him WE'LL and also
know OF his qualifications, the conven-
ton was satisfied there would be no
mistake made in his selection.
County Clerk.-The duties of county
clerk are peculiarly trying ones Out
side Of his routine clerical duties he
has to be in constant attendance upon
the board of supervisors. A good clerk
is the chief promoter in expediting the
business of the board. A poor one is
rather an expensive ornament in the
county building. No mistake will be-
made in the election of Mr.. Schuyler.
District AHorney.-F. B. Tuttle, of this
city, is the nominee for district attor-
ney. 1t Is unnecessary to speak of his
qualifications, as all know he has the
education, training, and nerve to ad-
mirably fill the duties of the office.
Surveyor. People who have had oc-
casion to require the services of sur
veyor know something about the fine
technical duties of the position A good
surveyor is luxury; a poor one worse
than none at all. We feel that we can
assert, without fear of contradiction
that Milo c. Jones, of Fort Atkinson,
is pre-eminently the most thorough
man in Jefferson county for the place
That he ought to be elected there is no
room for doubt.
Coroner.-While the duties of this Of
flee are not onerous, or the emolumentS
are acquainted with George Hanover
will be happy to testify their apprecia-
ton of him by casting a vote in his.
favor next November.
County Superintendent of Schools.-Al-
though the city of Watertown has no
voice in the selection of school super
intendent, she desires to see the balance
of the county well taken care of in this
respect. The Office ought to be removed
from out the sphere of politics, as poll
tical opinions should cut no figure in
our educational system While H. D.
Splitter, of Milford, is good Republic
an, he is in no sense politician, and
it was only at the urgent solicitation of
many of his friends that he permitted
the use of his name by the convention
Mr.. Splitter has had eighteen years ex-
perience IN teaching school, good eyi-'
ferson county will not suffer by COM
parison with the best of previous adj
ministrations.
