ELECTION. NOTES.

-
Gratis to speak also, which he very i
wisely declined to do, as ne could
not open his mouth without putting !
his foot in it. Mr.. Rogers IN MS
speech stated that he had brought
some legal cap paper with him and
if Mr.. Broesche, the republican can
didate for county Judge, could Sit
down and write charge to jury
in a case Of assault and battery by
the next morning, that J. c. CAM
the colored Republican candidate
for the Legislature, couldn't pick to
pieces, he would withdraw Judge
Kirk from the race and let Broesche
be elected. The challenge was not
accepted. Judge Kirk will be cleo
ted by an overwhelming majority
AN. Krug the democratic nom-
nee for District clerk has been a
den,tv in the county clerks office
for some time, and his nomination
for District clerk was well merited
compliment. He is the son OF MIR.
Rudolph Krug who has resided IN
This county a number of years and is
a native of Washington county. Ii
elected Mr.. Krug will bring TO me
discharge of his duties the expert
ence of several years in a similar po-
eition, and will be polite and atten-
tive to all, who have business IN the
district court. The nominee OF the
republican party is Mr.. Winn, col
ored school teacher, who lives at
Chappell Hill.
The position of county clerk IS a
very important one, and the people
of Washington county are fortunate
in having the opportunity to vote
for Oscar A. Seward, who was noml-
mated BY the democratic convention
for that Office. Mr.. Seward is very
Quiet in his manners, well educated
and in every respect well qualified.
In his general bearing he reminds
one of Hugh NJ. Lewis, whowa SO
long county clerk. He is opposed
by 6. W. Homeyer, the nominee OF
the Republican party, who was once
defeated for the same position by
Hugh Lewis. Mr.. Stewards popu-
larity is SO great that he will com
mand many Republican votes.
Dilmus E. league, nominee OF the
democrats for sheriff, if elected will
make an excellent officer. For some
time he has been acting as Mr. De
ver's principal deputy and will bling
to the discharge of his duties a ripe
experience as we'll as Fearless and
honest purpose. Whether a consta
BILE of the Burton precinct or as
deputy sheriff under Nath Dever he
has never been found wanting in the
discharge of duty. He is opposed
by f. j. Await, who has announced
as an independendent candidate, but
S. has the endorsement OF the Pau
Fricke republicans, and will appea
on the regular republican ticket
Await was defeated by Mr.. Deve
two years ago.
Ben. s. Rogers, for county atto1
new. C. Minkwitz for Treaurer, ant
H.R. Won Bieberstein for Surveyor
have no odposition. They hav
been magnamiomusly endorsed b
the republicans, but it is suspecte
that it was lack of material rathe
than magnanimity that caused sue
action, as that party has neve
shown much appreciation for oficii
honesty. These gentlemen howeve
have commanded the approval
the voters of the county and coul
have been reelected although the
had been furnished with oppositlo
Sam Schlenker, the best Ii
Collector in the State, was vel
properly re-nominated by the dem
Gratis for that position. His oppo
emit julius Hope when he wakes
on Wednesday morning Nov.
will hardly realize that he was
the race. He is very clever your
man, no doubt, but with fifty yea
experience he would never maj
such collector as Sam Schlenker.
Opposed to the democratic non
nee for Assessor of Texas, Earne
G. Langhammer, there is Joe Mare
Red joe as he is called. He
about the only man on the repub
can ticket that isn't ashamed of
for he announces that he is endors
by the republican convention, a
seems to have no disposition to {
tain goods by false pretences. a
Langhammer is just finishing
first term as assessor and has ma
a good officer. If reelected, as
M douht will be. he will bring
