There is hardly household in Henry
county in which this gentleman is moi
known and spoken of with high es.
TEEN. Having been prominent
school superintendent, a representa-
tive two terms, and now a lawyer OF
wide reputation, he is we'll equipped
as regards both record and ability to
be worthy successor of Judge Don
nelly as guardian of the widow and
orphan. By nature Mr.. Cuff is kind
and affable, and to know him is to en-
list in his already large army of
friends, composed of every class. He
is now president of the Napoleon
Union School Board, being on his
second term as member of that body.
Judge Cuff sounds pleasing to our
ears and we wish the Judge just what
will take place-a prosperous and
just administration of probate affairs
by him.

Christian Dittmer,

One of the most prosperous and In
telligent farmers of Ridgeville town.
ship is Christian Dittmer, who was
nominated over other good men for
infirmary director at Saturdays con-
vention. Although 1t was claimed by
many that he was located on the
wrong side Of the river, his popularity
seemed to surmount this obstacle and
his nomination took place on the
third ballot. Personally, Mr.. Dittmer
is pleasant gentleman and those
who have been associated with him in
business, speak highly of his worth.
He will make a first class official to
take care Of the poor, and as such we
recommend him to voters when bal
lots are cast next Fall.

Ferdinand Roessing.
Very few times in the history OF
Henry County politics has q candi-
date been nominated without oppo-
sition, having no second term claim on
the Office. It is rarity for the rank

consent settle on one man to ill an
Office so important as that of treasur-
er. Yet such implicit confidence is
placed in Ferdinand Roessing's fitness
and competency for that Office that he
was nominated without a single dis
seating voice. There Is none other in
Napoleon who has done more to ad-
vance her interests than he. He has
accumulated property and contrary to
generally accepted rule has been gen.

1t with free and easy hand. No
wonder then that, during the long

AS years roll on and with them dem.

apparent that the abandonment Of the

Daniel Q. Brown.

When D. G. Brown was nominated
clerk of the courts in 1890 after long,
drawn-out battle, his friends were
sanguine in their predictions that he
would make one of the best keepers
of the court records we have ever had.
But even his friends were not prepar-
ed to see proficiency SO completely
personiffed as has been in his case.
There are none who can say augbt
against Mr.. Brown; and, come to
think about it, we have never heard
Mr.. Brown speak i'll of any one else.
In truth, he is strictly clerk for the
people, the whole people, regardless
of politics, and it is for this reason
that he will be reelected next Fall by
majority paralyzing in its size. 1t
is extremely gratifying to see one of
Mr.. Browns worth elevated to honor
and responsible position. He looks
upon public office as a public trust,
and with this maxim in view, he will
never fail in getting the unqualified
endorsement of the people.
Matthias Reiser.
A resident among US for forty years

but echo that portion of his accep-
tance speech when he said tnat he had
dealt with many people during the
decades of his residence here, and the
conventions vote show that they
were satisfied with his manner of do
ing business. Coming to the county
