The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1890-09-11

recognized as q most competent Of
fetal. Mr.. Kroeger is an excellent
draughtsman, and the work done for
the county in the past six years by
him is invaluable to the county. He
is honest, capable and worthy. The
nomination for this important office
was given to him on account of his
merits, his ability and f%aithfulness,
and the good of the county will be
promoted 2y his election.
For the Office of assessor, Mr.. j.
II. Hunter was nominated. Mr..
Hunter resides in Moreau township
and is regarded as a very strong can.
didate. He is competent, and will
do equal and exact justice to all men
in the assessment of property. lie
will, if elected, devote his personal
attention to the Office, and we be-
lieve he will make a popular and sue.
cessful official.
The nominee for probate judge,
Mr.. j. j. Sommer, is well known in
every part of the county. AS school
commissioner, school teacher and
justice of the peace, Mr.. Sommcr
has always acquitted himself with
credit. All who know him personally
know that he is in every way qualified
for the position of probate judge. lie
speaks the German and English
languages with equal fuency and is
familiar with court records by reason
of the positions heretofore held by
him. Mr.. Somner is one Of the
strongest nominees, and there is no
doubt of his election.
Mr.. Arthur Z. Grimshaw was pre-
vailed upon 10 accept the nomination
for county treasurer. Ills record as
county clerk for the past six years is
all that need be referred to in behalf
of Mr.. Grimshaw. He is perhaps
one of the most popular officials that
have ever held Office in Cole county.
If there are in the county any repub-
licans that would scratch Arthur's
name from a ticket we do not know
them, while there are dozens OF dem
ocrats who would scratch their ticket
and vote for him. His nomination
was q deserved compliment 10 HIM in
view of his retirement from the office
of county clerk in the pursuit of pri-
vate business. While we do not care
to foster the idea of over confidence,
we have no doubt of Arthur's cleo
ton by q large majority.
DR.. Forth, who declined to make
the acc for the legislature, was nom.
mated for coroner, and while it is an
Office of no pecuniary benefit to him,
he will make the race and accept the
Office il elected. DR.. Forth is a re
publican of excellent promise and we
want to see him elected by a r%ousing
majority. We want every republi.
can in this county to vote for him.
and two years hence we a promote
him.
For presiding Judge of the county
court, Mr.. Bernard Dulle was nomi-
mated. Mr.. Dulle has heretofore de.
clined to accept all office Of any kind,
but the party would not accept his re.
fusal this year. He will make a good
judge and help to swell the majority
for the ticket.
For assistant justice, Henry Holl-
rath and Henry Kautch were nomi.
mated. Both Of these gentlemen are
strong candidates and good men.
Mr.. IIollrath resides on the old
: Krekel place and is a man of intel
ligence and good common sense. lie
will make q good judge. Mr.. Kautcll
resides near Stringtown, he is G
, blacksmith by trade and has resided
, in and nea Stringtown for many
years. lie is q good man and viii
make a good judge.

, good character and n sound rcpubli
l can. Every republican, can vote TO
g him, feeling that they are voting 70,
n deserving and competent youns
t Ia
: Mr.. Payne and r. r Saltcr hay,
. both been justices Of the peace 70
| the past few years, and have don,
work that speaks for itself.
In closing II remarks we ar
. frank TO say that on a whole the re
g puoiicans in Cole county have nevc
had a better tirkct in the field, and i
q the ticket is not elected it will not b
n due 10 the ticket.
