Chief Deputy Clerk. Since that time he has
had sole charge of the Office and it is highly
creditable to him that no Clerks office

the work attended to promptly and correctly.

competent for the position. Personally he

elected in 1889. At the session of 1889 he
was honored by being appointed chairman
of the committees on Judiciary and Claims,
two of the most important committees of the
House. Mr.. Preston is a graceful speaker,
good lawyer and altogether well equipped
for the place. He should receive every
Democratic vote.
Ind Of ha hon yuo

DIR. JOHN W. BARTON,
HUGH T. BAY,
JAMES M. CAIN.
They constitute the present bench and have
performed their duties in most acceptable
manner. All three of them are honorable
men, thoroughly familiar by experience with
their duties and they deserve to be reelected.
For Sheriff the Democrats have chosen
JAMES s. CALDER.
Mr.. Calder was formerly tax collector for
Marshall's district and performed his duties
in the most exact and faithful manner. He
has twice before been candidate for nomina-
ton, being defeated first by W. Oliver Hughes

THOMAS MoULsDALE,
GEORGE A. COURTNEY,

county that eulogum is unnecessary, and they
will receive the full Democratic vote.
Mr.. Moulsdale, of the first district, is we'll
known farmer He is a very intelligent, in
dustrious, careful man, possessing good judg-
ment in business affairs. He has never be.
lore been a candidate for Office. He will
doubtless make good, useful Commissioner.

ed and we have no doubt he will prove
to be an efficient guardian of the interests Of
taxpayers.
Mr.. Bateman is farmer and merchant
He filled the Office of Sheriff one term, being
the only candidate elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket 1859. He was elected County
| Commissioner in 1887, and has therefore had
ample experience in the office. He Is
pleasant man to do business with, Is alive to
the needs of the county in the way of road
| improvement and economical administration.
He is brother of the late Judge Alfred W.
Bateman, and ought to be elected by hand
some majority.
The office of County Commissioner is one
of the most important that taxpayers have to
fill. They levy our taxes, have charge OF our
roads-in short have the disbursement of
all the county funds. To them alone tax
payers must look for wise and economical
administration of our home affairs. 1t is
therefore gratifying to say that taxpayers
need not hesitate to vote for the candidates
| for this Office which the Democrats present.
We feel confident that if they are elected our
county affairs will be in safe hands.
| For County Surveyor
WILLIAM T. CLARK,
of Chestnut Hill, had no opposition on the
ticket as printed. The Office is SO unremu-
nerative that few persons care to make con-
test for it. Mr.. Clark is a good and true
Democrat, and a competent man. His cleo
ton is a forgeone conclusion.
We can sum up the matter by saying that
the ticket presented by the Democrats is one
which should command the united and hear.
! ty support of the party.
