OUR CANDIDATES.

caused us to defer this supposed duty
until now, although we seriously doubt
the propriety of any extended notice at
this or any future time. Our candidates
are all well known and better ticket
was never nominated by county con-
yention in Trego county. Not word
can be truthfully uttered derogatory to
any of them.
! j. w. ALTMAN,
of Riverside, is the nominee for sheriff.
| He is an old resident of the county and
! thoroughly identified with its interests.
1 At home, where he is best known, he is
very popular and no man is held in
higher esteem. He has never taken a
conspicuous part in politics in this coun-
| ty and has never been candidate for
any office, but has attended strictly to
! misunderstanding and stock raising
and has been quite successful. He is an
active, energetic, whole-souled, intelli-
gent man and possesses all the necessary
qualifications to fill the office of sheriff
acceptably.
| T. R. MOORE
| is our nominee for treasurer and no one
doubts his entire competency for that
position. There are few men in our
/ county so well adapted for the office as
he is. He is good penman, a thorough
! book-keeper and practical business
man generally. The republicans of Ire
60 county have always been fortunate
in their selection of candidate for this
responsible position and, as a conse-
/ quence, there has never been any short
ages, scandals or crookedness of any
kind connected with this office. Mr..
| Moore is the peer of any of his predeces-
sors and all can feel safe and secure if he
| is elected. This is the first time that he
has been a candidate and there is no
good reason why he should not receive
every republican vote in the county.
C. A. HOAR
was renominated for county clerk and
his nomination at this time was the re-
suit of his peculiar fitness for the posi-
ton. The office is perhaps the most
laborious and the most difficult to fill of
any of our county offices, and it takes
time for even a competent man to
familiariZe himself with it's duties which
are numerous and varied. Taking into
consideration natural qualifications and
valuable experience combined, and we
will be safe in saying that there is not a
man in the county who can perform the
work SO we'll as he can and so acceptablv
to all concerned. 1t makes no difference
what mans politics may be, or who he
may be, he is always sure of courteous
treatment from Mr.. HOar and there are
scores who can from personal experience
| cOrroborate this statement. The only
thing that can be urged against him is
that he has had the office long enough
If we were to consider his interests only
we might think there is something in
the objection, but it is the interests of
the community and of the county that
we should first consider. Trego county
cannot afford ITO make this change. The
best interests of the county suggest that
Mr.. Hoar be reelected. 1t is to the in
terest of every voter who ever expects to
transact business with that Office or who
is interested in the prosperity of our
county, regardless OF politics, to vote for
@. A. Hoar.
For register of deeds
GEORGE W. CROSS,
the present incumbent, has received the
nomination and will be elected by q
handsome majority if efficiency, already
demonstrated, counts for aught. Mr..
Cross has made no enemies during his
term, but has made friends of all with
whom he has had business relations.
Careful and accurate the records of his
office are models and his work is above
criticism. Mr.. Cross is so well known
in Trego county that it is unnecessary
| for us to make an extended mention.
He will receive every republican vote
and a number of the opposition, who are
not absolutely hide bound, will vote for
him on account of his especial fitness for
the place.
For district clerk we have an old SOL
der,
G. w. BLACKWELL,
of Collyer. Mr.. BLACKWELL has never be.
fore asked for the suffrage of his fellow
citizens in the republican party, and we
know of no good reason why he should
not have the unanimous support of the
party. He has been an active. consist
ent member of the party all his life and
believes in its principles. Is member
of the G. A. r. at Collyer and his soldier
record is without blot. Our acquaint-
ance with him warrants us in saving
that he has the ability to conduct the
business of his office successfully and all
who know him will guarantee his entire
honesty and fidelity. He is popular at
home which is the best evidence of his
character. He is truly our farmer candi-
date-not one who farms principally
with his mouth-but real farmer and
we have no doubt that our farmer friends
will all remember their neighbor at the
polls.
C. j. FERRIS
has again been nominated for county
surveyor. This office does not paw very
much, but it is one of the most import
ant in the county. Everybody is inter-
ested in Knowing that his lines have
been correctly surveyed as it may save
an almost endless amount of trouble and
litigation in the future. It is generally
recognized and understood that Mr..
Ferris is one of the most expert survey
ors in the state With him it has been
almost life work and he is especially
equipped for the work. The people of
the county will not care to experiment
along this line.
The republicans of the 1st commits
sioner district, which includes Ogallah,
Glencoe and Riverside, nominated
