Our Ticket.

VuI 1ICACts
We this week pre- sent to our readers the
republican ticket chosen by the conven-
ton last Saturday. The candidates are
all too well known in Ford county to re-
ouire extended mention from us. Each
one has especial individual elements OF
strength, and locality has been judiciot'sly
considered, SO that the ticket has every
prospect of being successful at the cleo
ton in November.
c. NJ. Beeson, who is regarded as lead
er. as candidate for sheriff, has served one
term in that important nffice. During
his administration some daring crimes
have been committed in this region, and
his courage, skill and vigilance in pur-
suit and capture of desparadoes entitle
him to high rank 10 that line OF service.
Almost every one we meet on the streets
regards MIR. Beeson's election as fore
gone conclusion.
ia. Arment, candidate for register of
deeds, has also served the people one
term in the Office to which he aspires.
He has personally attended to the work in
his Office, and by carefully. attending to
business and courteous treatment Of the
public, has merited the good will of all.
MIR. Arment is q good campaigner and
will add strength to the ticket.

" known, is one of the most popular
Young men in the county. His home is
in Speareville, but most of his Dodge
City acquaintance know him as a fire.
man on the Santa Fe railway. While
running on the road. young Leidigh's
efficiency as all accountant caused him to
be frequently called in to assist the master
mechanic on his books. Ill health caused
him to lay of some time ago, though he
has since sufficiently recovered to be in
good running order, will make a strong
race, and one of the best county clerks
Ford county has ever had.
Andy Russell is as well known in Dodge
City as any man who does not reside here.
He has hosts of warm friends among US who
will not see him slaughtered on election
day. His Straightforward honesty has
become 50 we'll known and ability rs an
accountant of such high order, that it was
quite natural and proper for the republican
party to place him on the ticket for the
responsible position of custodian of county
funds. Mr.. Russell expects to invest in
Dodge City property, and bring his fam
ily here to live. They will make very
desirable addition to this community.
General John G. Fonda is one Of the
pioneers of Ford county. He is scholorly
gentleman, thoroughly practical civil
engineer, and will make q careful and
afficient county surveyor. Though ::hav-
ing passed through the Mexican war and
served with distinction as an officer in the
union army during rhe rebellion, he il

field or Office work in the county survey

commissioners
Dr.S. j. Crlmbine will succeed him
self as coroner. Though not desirable
Office, the doctor has attended to the dutie
faithful and conscientiously, and will
be undoubtedly reelected.
| County commissioner is an Office which
must be filed by electors of the first dis
trict, and the delegates from the cas-
end showed wisdom in choosing w. H
Mckinney for their candidate. He is

two gentlemen related.
On the whole, republicans of Fort
county have ticket in which they ca
