OUR TICKET,

1t has been demonstrated again that
the Republicans of Allen County can
be depended upon to do the right
thing at the right time. The men
who composed the convention last
Tuesday were both level headed and
enthusiastic and they selected out of
the excellent material at hand the
winning ticket.
Mr.. G.. Dewitt, of Logan township,
who has SO satisfactorily performed
the duties of surveyor before, was
made the nominee for that office with
out opposition. Mr.. Dewitt was born
in Gallia Co., Ohio, in 1884. At the
outbreak of the war he raj sed a COM
pany and was made Captain oft. He
has lived in Allen county for thirty
years now and everybody in the
county knows him and likes him. He
is good man and good surveyor.
Mr.. G. NJ. Nelson, of Marmaton, the
candidate for treasurer, appears for
the first time as nominee for county
Office. But he Is not without exper-
fence in clerical work. He has been
trustee of Marmaton township and
the books watch he handed into the
county clerks Office were distinguish
ed by neatness and accuracy. Mr..
Nelson is an Ohioan by birth and a
a Kansan by adoption. Though
mere boy when the war broke out he
entered the army in time to see lots of
fighting and to get wounded. He is q
fine looking man, apparently about
forty-five years of age. If elected, he
will bring a good education and good
natural ability to his work, and will
make treasurer of whom we can feel
proud.
Better selections could hardly have
been made for commissioners. Mr..
Crowell and Mr.. Spicer are well
known and highly respected farmers.
Mr.. Spicer is at the present time serv-
ing satisfactorily as commissioner,
and no one who knows Mr.. Crowell's
character can doubt that he will be
a cool-headed and discreet officer, if
elected.
Mr.. Hobart was of course renomina-
ted fol sheriff, Mr.. Nigh for Register
of Deeds, and DIR. Brown for coroner.
Everybody knows these gentlemen
and they have filled their offices so
we'll during the past term, that not a
word can be said against their ability
and fidelity.
The ticket as it stands is certainly a
strong one and republicans are happy.
The thing to do now is to go to work
and elect the men by a rousing ma
jority.

thence of my readers has constrained
them to follow it. And yet it must
leave unsaid more things than have
been said. 1t must leave out the pic
ture galleries, crowded with the mas
terpieces of the old masters; the statu-
airy halls with treasures that a kings
ransom could not buy; the museums
with the relics of by-gone days and
by-gone races and civilizations; the
commercial and political and social
life of the Rome to-day,-all these and
an indefinite catalogue of other things

heard these past three days, must

Rome a day and feel himself fortunate
to have enjoyed so great a a privilege.
One might visit it year and still find
ruins to be explored. monuments to be
studied, churches and galleries to be
sites of historic events to be
sought out, erroneous impressions to
be corrected, curious rerearches to be
made. So bid farewell to the Eter-
nal City, rejoicing that 1 have seen so
much, regretting that have seen so
little.
