Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1894-09-21

Of the Democrats to give the best Of
flee in the county to a man a resi-
dent OF the community scarcely two
years will fail, as it should. Z
For register of deeds the party
presents the name Of David K. Hart
ing. popular young business man
of the city. There will be no ques-
ton of his ability, and he will aid in
cleaning out the crowd that now
think they own Morrison county.
About his first duties in 1895 will be,
as register of deeds, to record ali in
strument transferring Morrison
county from the court house gang
to the people, and we trust tina t
never again will it's affairs be placed
in such incompetent, extravaganza
and selfish hands.
Hon. n. Richardson will simply be
Judge of probate. The people want
him, and they will have him. The
court house boys know that Trettle
is goner, and will not waste much
time over him. He is handy in con-
ventions to swing things, but he
gets SO tangled up III his pledges
that he loses the confidence of even
those he serves. He will this year
scarcely get majority of even the
Democratic vote.
For county attorney the Republi-
cans present the name of j. H.
Rhodes, who made very strong
run in that fateful year OF 1892, and
who will this year carry the county.
1t would be of positive benefit to the
county to have Mr.. Rhodes as
county attorney, and during his SER
vice in that capacity IL few years
ago he showed a determination to
as far as possible limit all public ex-
penditures to the absolute need of
the public good, and considering
the financial condition that the
gang have placed Morrison
county in he is just at pres
ent badly needed in the position
he seeks. Everyopponento of the court
house crowd, and every friend Of the
cOunty's interests should vote for
j. H. Rhodes for county attorney.
Nels Peterson is the Republican
nominee for county surveyor, and
was also given the Populist endorse
ment. He is we'll qualified for the
duties Of surveyor, has a. thorough
acquaintance with the county, and
his election will follow active work.
DR.. O. G. Trace is a candidate for
coroner, with excellent chances of
success. His opponent is DR.. F ortier,
and, as head of the Democratic com
mittee that is trying to re-elect the
court house gang, he has assumed
public position which many of his
friends regret. Dr.. FOrtier's in
fluence and efforts are this year to
elect the Democratic ticket, and on
that line he is entitled to and will re-
ceive the opposition of people who
know that the county should be
redeemed from it's present rulers.
Lyman Signor is nominated for
clerk of court, and the people Of this
county will not take chances on
electing his opponent, John Nc
Donald, and thus place iorfour years
the court records of the county in
care Of a man of his characteristics.
1t would be a public calamity to
take any chances in that matter,
and the people of Morrison county
are not disposed this year to do
anything sounwise. Lyman Signor's
reliability and qualifications need
no comment. He will be an ideal
officer, and be elected.
For county commissioners in the
Second and Fourth districts the dele
gates from those localities put up
good men. Mic Hennen from Pierz
and J. J. Jacobson from Elm Dale
should both I've elected. No other
results than those are more import
ant to the welfare of the county.
