THE CANDIDATES.

The candidates nominated are all
honest capable men, deserving de-
mocrats.
VIM. f. Bowen, "Billy" as his
friends familisrly call him, is one
Of the most promising young demo-
Gratis of the county. He is exper-
fenced in public service, having
been the very efficient deputy aud
ltor. under his father, and in the
first years of Mr.. Armstrong; ad-
minlstratlon. He has several times
been before the people as q candi-
date. receiving very fattering
vote; each canvass making more
acquaintances and more and better
friends. He accepted his defeats
with composure and graceful yeild-
ing to the popular decree, and main
tanning his earnestness and enthus-
iasm for his party. His time came
for Reorganization, reward, and his
election on last Saturday over one
of the ablest and strongest demo-
Gratis Hooking county is proud of,
Is high honor and triumph TO be
doubly priced from the fact that the
opponent is hero who In life of
battle with the strongest had never
before met defeat. "Bllly's op-
ponent's in the the last canvasswere
gallant bold fighters, and in the
campaign now on against the COM
mon enemy Will vie with his chos-
en- followers in the front ranks in
the battle for the party and its can,
dldates. 1t is not likely the Re-
publicans will present any candidate
in opposition to him.
Charles E. Brandt our candidate
for sheriff is a young farmer who
made his first veture before the peo:
pile. He is man of high personal
character, of sound political sense,
pleasant and genial IN disposition,
and best liked when best known.
His home neighborhood and town
ship was practically solid for him,
an Endorsement which carries assur-
ance to those who do not know him
that he is the man, the democrat,
the candidate for the occasion.
For clerk Dan Lappen needs no
introduction to the democracy Of
Hooking. 1t is SAID by those in
position to know what they are talk
ing about, the Judge and the Bar,
that he is one of the very best clerks
in the state. His denomination is
an endorsement of his course in
public Office and an assurance that
the credit of our party will be main
iained and the public service T
promptly attended to.
For commissioner George Weld
ner, is new man before the public
as a candidate, but an old timer in
the democratic battles in Marion. /
For the last quarter of a century
George Weldner has been a pillar
among the democracy in our north
ern border, and to him as much as
10 any man In his township is due
the fact that old Marion is ever the
reliable and banner township of the
county. Mr.. Weidner Is man of
good sense ard will make good
commissioner.
For surveyor, James Davis is
known to everybody. and words ex-
toling his merits as surveyor would
be wasted. His friends eay che
has Col. Davis field notes" That is
enough, his father knew this county
by heart and jim keeps up the ac-
quaintance. I
Jake Riason, Andy Wright, and
Dan Heft are the nominees without :
for reelection. They
need no words in the paper to com =;
mend them to the support of the
people. Without opposition, with !
put protest, without a single voice /
to vote against them, they stand
out in the front, challenging now t
the assaults if any dare be made !
rom any and everybody, the Re I
publican party may bring against I
hem. e
The ticket is exceptionally strong G
n this, that each candidate has a 7
personal following outside Of his C
,artv and ipstead of beng carried" b
n the campaign, each carries not Ii
,nIy himself, but carries along in a
he procession willing captives from P
he ranks Of the onrosition.
