The Peoples Party County Ticket.

Of the county ticket nominated
by the peoples party, about half the
names are we'll known in Ketchum
and the upper part of the county,
and the balance are more or less
known in the county at large. TAX
ing the names in their order upon
the ticket:
N. N. RUICK,
for State Senator, is known through
out the county as an active and
able lawyer, who has been promi-
nently identified with the public
affairs of Wood River from early
days, was especially chosen for the
legislature, not alone on the ground
of having been heartily committed
to the peoples party movement in
Idaho from the beginning, and in
the organization of which he has
done most efficient service, but be-
cause of his legal training and his
professional connection and famil-
iarity with the Alturas-Logan coun-
ty division" question. He will be
the best equipped man to help Sc
cure the passage of law-to which
he is thoroughly committed-to
justly reapportion the old county
joint debt, thus saving Alturas
county from threatened bankrupt
cy. This is matter of the greatest
importance to the citizens of the
county, regardless of national party
questions; and on this matter,
should Mr.. Ruick be elected, he
will use his ability and detailed
knowledge of the case to secure
justice to all concerned.
J. w. BALLANTINE,
of Muldoon, for Representative. is
generally known as man thorough
ly identified with the business and
public interest of the county and
state in both his private capacity
as a miner and stockman, and also
in public affairs, he having served
as one of the trainers of the State
Constitution of Idaho. He also
served in the legislature of his
native state, Pennsylvania, which
facts show that he is man of ca
pacity and ability. In accepting
the nomination, he did so without
seeking, and because it was urged
upon him, for he is in the new
party upon principle.
GEORGE J. LEWIS,
for Representative, is too well
known in Ketchum and throughout
the county to need extended notice.
His connection with the peoples
party was spontaneous and by con-
viction. His practical abilities and
interest in the public good of the
state and of his own district, COM
mend his nomination to voters, and
he will undoubtedly receive hear
ty endorsement at he polls.
A. J. JACKSON,
for Sheriff, has been a resident of
Haley for ten years, where he has
followed the business of black
and raised and educated
a large family. He has always been
a hardworking man, of good abili-
ties and respected by all. While
Ketchum had good men to put for
ward for the position-which prac-
tically was the only one competed
for on the ticket-she acquiesced
in the nomination made, knowing
that it was in every way good one,
that would carry the strength of
the ticket.
w. H. ATKINSON,
for Assessor, miner of East Fork,
identified himself at the start with
the new party; was made chairman
of the Ketchum meeting for organ
izing the party in the county, and
won the respect of all by the evil
dent earnestness of his character,
and from the time his name was
put forward by friends for assessor
there was no one else seriously
talked of for the position. His
having been presiding officer of
miners unions is evidence that he
is a man of standing and ability.
GEORGE w. RICHARDS,
for Probate Judge. moved
his household goods to HALEY early
in May, 1884," and has been ever
since closely connected with the in
terests of Alturas county as publish
Or and editor of the News Miner.
He is a man of large experience
in public affairs, having been a
member of the legislature from
Boise county, auditor and recorder
Of the same county several terms,
clerk of the district court, ETC., all
Of which has we'll fitted him for
he position to which he is now a
nominee. He is honorable and
honest, and of a quiet, business-like
temperament. Lastly, he has COM
mitted himself and the News-M Miner
lnequivocally to the free coinage
IF silver, and deserves the support
If all third party men.
+. *. GILLETTE,
he nominee for Treasurer, is well
