The Republican County Ticket.


The ticket placed in nomination by
tie Republican county conventio
which convened at Ellsworth Oh
Monday last, is one which the
JOURNAL takes pleasure in commend
ing to the Republicans of Pierce
county, as being entitled to theil
united and most cordial support
Every town and ward was fully
represented in the convention and
but one delegate was admitted by
proxy. This fact would indicate that
the convention was composed of repre-
sentative men of the party, and the
ticket placed in nomination certainly
just fnd the wisdom of the rank and
| file in the selection of delegates
Though the candidates are all tried
men and true" and well known
throughout the county we will here
take occasion pursuant to the usual
custom of the press to briefly review
the ticket.
Freeman III. Lord, nominee for
Member of Assembly is one of the
thriving farmers of the town of River
Falls, which town he has for several
years efficiently served as chairman
and a member of the County Board OF
Supervisors. He is a gentleman
whose private character is without
reprOach, is capable and conservative
and one whose general makeup fits
HIM admirably for an effective dis
charge of the duties which will devolve
upon him as a member of the popular
branch of the coming session of the
Wisconsin Legislature. His integrity
| is beyond question, and his service as
a soldier in the late unpleasantness'
should be a sufficient guarantee of his
fidelity to the principles Of good
government. Those of our rural
| friends who are won't to complain
that farmers should be more largely
represented in law making bodies are
| offered an opportunity, which they
will do well to improve, to elect a
practical farmer to represent them at
the State capitol next winter.
Hon. Thomas l.. Nelson of Els
worth, who received the nomination
for Sheriff, was also soldier and
is one of the best known men in the
| county. He is among the Oldest
| settlers, has served in town offices
been twice elected to the Office OF
| Sheriff and served one term in the
legislature. In these positions he
has demonstrated his fitness for the
/ position for which he has been named
and he is an all around hustler, who
gets there" as Sheriff.
/ Is there voter in the county who
doesn't know Jens b. Jensen o.
| Gilman, the nominee for County
Clerk? He is worthy representative
of the Scandinavian nationality anC
has been an incumbent of this Office
since early in the sos and there il
probably no County Clerk in the Stat,
who is better qualified or more con
scientious in the discharge of hi
Iduties. His is a most valuable Offic,
and the taxpayers desire to avail
themselves of his services for anothe
term.
G.. +. Weisemann, familiarly known
as Fred" who was nominated TO
County Treasurer, is substantial
German farmer, and one of tn,
earliest settlers in the town of Sprin,
Lake. He has held various tow
offices, served as census enumeration
is an old soldier, competent ant
worthy. His nomination is con
tinued recognition of that sturd
herman element which has so Target
contributed toward the development
of the resources of the county AM
incidentally to the ascendancy o
Republican principles.
| The unanimous nomination b.
acclamation of Walter E. Warren o
Maiden Rock for the Office of Registe
of Deeds, attests the popularity b
has gained for himself as an incum
bent of that Office during the past tw
terms. Courteous in manner an
with an eye to the importance of eN
actness in making records, couple
with the experience which he alread
possesses, he is well equipped for til
position in which the people will GLAD
; ly retain aim.
L. L. Richardson of Clifton, tn
present incum bent, was renominate
for Clerk of the Circuit Court. ii
was taken from the ranks of PierC
county's competent teachers to fl
this position in which he fully me
the expectations Of his friends and a
who have had occasion to transaC
business in that Office during his il
lcumbency thereof.
Albert Combacker, of Ellsworth

county attorneys has heretofore serve
in this capacity, has also served in ii
Office of County Judge, is now and h;
been for a number of years Presider
Of the Village Board of Ellsworth.
John f. Shaw the present populi
County Superintendent OF Schoo
was nominated for reelection by a
. clamation without opposition. NJ
Shaw has been an energetic an
deficient officer whose whole soul is
his work 70 which he earnest

peculiarities about this Office is TIL
