JUDGE OF PROBATE.

For this important judicial Office, IL de.
mands man of sound judgment, legal
ability and of the strictest integrity. The
republicans i'm nominating Hon. Matthew
Bush have candidate for your suffrage
that happily possesses all of these qualities
in large degree.
Judge Bush has held the Office for one
term, and his record is before you and will
bear the utmost scrutiny. The probate
court is one of great Importance to every
citizen in the county, as all estates must go
before him and be passed upon and settled.
None but an upright and intelligent person
should be chosen to preside over it. Is
Judge Bush such a man? If so, he should
be reelected.
Let us take brief view of his service
During the nearly four years of his admin
istratiOn land the business is double that of
few years ago. there has not been single
case reversed, and that means lot of money
saved to estates. While the estate is being
probated the law does not require security
for costs to be given, but when appealed to
circuit court security for costs has to be
given, and thus far during his term the APP
pellalits have had to pay the costs, by which
means estates have not been impoverished
by the extravaganza of litigation. The
court is obliged to prepare great many
papers, and is always careful i'm such mat
tiers, and not one has ever been quashed by
reason of defect or otherwise, thus saving
considerable costs that would otherwise be
saddled on the litigants. Possessed of fine
legal knowledge, he is always willing to
give such legal advice in connection with
matters in probate court as the varied cases
require, thus aiding administrators and
guardians to keep things straight, and
thus save the parties expense as well as per-
pleXity incident to mistakes and litiga-
ton, and large sums of money that would
otherwise have to be expended for attorney
fees. Under his able management cases
have not been allowed to drag, bat are clos
ed up as soon as may be, and the admins
traitors discharged as case allowed to drag
soon eats hole into an estate. 1t is in this
court that the rights of the widow and orphan
must be secured to them, and his viglant
eye is ever watching out for their interest.
We call to mind case where an account
of over twenty-fOur hundred dollars had
been allowed by the commissioners on
claims i'm which minor was one of the on
ly two heirs. The judge looked it over crit
ica.ly and became convinced that it was not
all right, and, although not strictly his duty,
he had an able attorney go and examine in
to the claims, and found they were illegal.
An appeal was taken from the allowance of
the claims and they were dsallowed, and
the estate saved that large sum, simply by
his care and watchfulness.
Citizens! We desire to impress you
with the importance of selecting a good
man for the most important Office in the
county, and request you, if you do not know,
to investigate the record of the present in
cumbent, which we are confident you will
find to be A No. 1, and then it will be an
easy matter for you to decide what TO do in
the premises. and that is to work and vote
for Judge Bush. This Office, like the cir
cult court should be entirely disconnected
from politics; none but sober, honest and
intelligent man should receive your vote.
