OUR COUNTY TICKET.

better class of men upon their county
ticket than at the present time.
The personnel of the ticket IS very
fine. 1t is composed of men of long
standing, and men whose lives have
been characterized by honor and
integrity.
From representative down it is a
ticket of which the democracy of
Lafayette are justly proud, and to the
support of which the party will rally
in November almost to a man.
Our ticket appeals to the qualified
voters of this county, and at once
attracts their attention and respect.
Jonas L. Ferguson, the next repre-
sentative, IS a plain, honest, unassum-
ing gentleman, and is endowed with
good judgment. He has been to the
legislature, and his career was credit
able to his constituents and to his state.
William G.. McCausland, who will
be the next presiding judge of the
county court, is one Of the best men
that ever walked on Lafayette county
soil. He is a credit to the democracy.
Honest IS the day is long, his long
business record stands unblemished by
a single suspicion. On the bench he
will act with discretion and impartial
ity, and his decisions will always be
found on the side of right and justice.
George A. C~hamblin, the nominee
for county judge from the eastern dis
trict, and Thomas E. Chinn, from the
western district, are both excellent
men, and will be of great value on the
county bench. Both of them will be
elected, and their election will be a
record of faith IN two good citizens.
William Young, for probate judge,
is an old war-horse with Q record that
challenges the respect of all. He is a
model officer.
In the person of Samuel j. Andrew
this county has Q clerk whose superior
was never known. He will get a Jorge
vote, and he deserves it.
Charles L. Ewing, circuit clerk, has
been fighting battles for democracy for
q long time. He Is honest, faithful
and courteous. He has filed his Office
a~cceptably, and will be again endorsed
by the voters.
William Aull Is q s'prosecuter' of
the first and best class. As long IS he
is continued in Office the guilty will be
punished and the innocent will 60 free.
Mr.. Aull is IN able lawyer.
Thomas A. Catron is the man the
Taxpayers will greet at the collectors
Office for two years longer. As long
as we have to have such q d~isagreeable
Office as collector, and such disagree
able business as paying taxes We had
as we'll have q courteous, competent
and honest man to collect them. Such
is Mr.. Catron.
Zach. w. Wright, the text sheriff,
needs no encomium. His record is an
open book, and nowhere In that book
can be read Partially, partisanship or
incompetency. A better man, q truer,
more faithful, more generous officer
was never voted for by the people.
He is a ~ssrunner," too, and when the
votes are counted the people of this
county are going to show Zach.
Wright that honor always meets its
reward.
Milton Drummond, for assessor, was
a good selection. He will perform his
! duties like q man, and will stay with
, his ticket until the votes are counted,
and when installed will make one Of
, the best officers in the county.
!, Charles C. Wallace will continue
to record those abominable mortgages,
but then they have TO be recorded, and
, Charley Wallace Is the man to do it
right. Everybody likes him, republi-
cans, populists and all. He is an
8 excellent gentleman and q faithful
D officer.
Lee H. billiard will continue to be
responsible for the county's money.
He is a young man and as good q one
. as ever gave q bond. Honest, ener-
getic and capable he comes well up to
the J~effersonian standard.
81 DR.. Emmett Fulkerson, who will
a hold the inquests, is one Of the bright.
est young men in Missouri. His quail.
iications are superior, and he will
make q good officer.
% In the nominations OF billiard and
Fulkerson the democrats have accorded
q great compliment TO the young mer
of this county Of which they should
feel proud.
It The above remarks concerning the
personnel of the ticket are not white
washed compliments. They are tht
sentiments Of this paper, honestly and
! %candidly expressed.
As to the personnel of the republican
ticket, we have naught to say, othel
d than that it contains some Of the names
l. Of our friends, in whom We have
warm personal interest, and for whom
ID we would do much to accommodat,
and assist. They, however, are un
fortunately in the wrong party On,
advocate the wrong principles. w,
, regret to sec them fighting losin,
"a issues and placing themselves as sacri
fees on the November altar.
The democratic county ticket is q
% good as any man could wish. Go Il
< the polls In November and vote 1t from
Is representative to constable and yol
