The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1890-10-30


Mesas. Eshslman and snlvely in tn,
legislature, Yakima might confidently
hope to gain some Of the iayors that have
been showered upon other localities.
MATT BARTRoLEr.
When the nominations were made BY
the county convention, republicans and
democrats alike approved Of the good
judgment displayed in the selection Of
Mr.. Matt BartllOlet TO succeed himself as
auditor Of Yakima county. For nearly
two years he has held that Office, and ii
l. with great satisfaction that The HER
AID finds this opportunity Of saying that
no one has had cause for complaint, but
rather reason for self congratulation in
having such . courteous, accommodating
andfaithful officer. When Mr.. Bartholet
entered upon his duties as auditor he
found that the books, under republican
regime, were sl25,0O0 out Of balance.
Quietly and systematically he went TO
work tOhave this tangle Strengthened out.
The expert accountants, in their recent
labors in Overhauling the county books
and in making up their report, occupied
more time in looking up the assessment
roll for 1888 than in anything else, and
this period was before Mr.. Bartholet's
administration commenced. Careful and
competent himself, Mr.. BaEtholet has for
deputies Mrs. w. H. Chapman and J. 7.
Foster, both Of whom have had thorough
business educations in the best Of COM
mercial colleges and are well qualified
for the work In which they are engaged.
GEORGE ". CARY.
Probably no one in the county has
more personal friends than George W.
Cary, the democratic nominee for treas
urer. This Is the result Of his kindness
Of heart in being ever ready to assist
those in distress, and his Obliging dispO-
sition upon all occasions. NotWithstand-
ing Mr.. CaFy's extensive circle Of friends,
be has few political enemies Of that
malignant stripe who, by misstatements
and untruths, are endeavoring 10 accom-
plish his defeat. With an incomplete
and garbled report Of the financial state
ment drawn up by the expert account
ants, they are trying To convey the i'm
preston that he has been unfaithful to
his trust. This will be difficult to do
with those who know Mr.. Cary, and Il Is
only . few Of the recent comers who do
not, for be has been q resident and active
business man Of Yakima for sixteen
years. He Is property holder, . man Of

DAVID LoSoNRE.
There Is little that need be said in lAvOr
Of Mr.. Longmlre. He IL an old settler
here, good business man andthoroughly
honest. There has never been . word
said against bis character, and the only
reasons advanced blythe republicans why
he should not be elected, Is that he Is not
frequenter Of saloons and has been 90
prosperous In life that the Office Of sheriff
Is not an absolute necessity TO him.
Thess reasons may beconvineing TO some
republicans, but they will not DO 10 the
majority Of the people. Mr.. LOngmIre Is
not what Il known Is drinking man,
but be IL q man Of liberal views and
broad mind, and believes In personal
freedom when not conflicting with the
laws. As to the other serious charge, Mr..
LonRmire has. nv A life Of energy. work
