The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1894-10-09

more ease and more successfully
than any one who has never
served in that field. The past is
a double assurance for the fut-
ure. He will serve a second
term with even more ability than
in the first, and his former acts
assure the people that he will
have careful regard for their
best interests.
MeIIin .. Hicks,
who is also our nominee for legis-
lative honors is well known to
our people, and having served
one term as sheriff with excel
lent satisfaction to the citizens,
is better prepared to know the
universal desires of Custer
county than but few persons in
it. He will make a safe, sound
and vigilant member from Custer
county in our next legislature.
William e. Hanna,
Nominee for sheriff on the Popu-
list ticket has had no superiors
in the county as a mechanic and
has served one term of county
treasurer, in a most acceptable
manner. He is in the prime of
active life, well qualified in every
way and will serve our people to
greater satisfaction, if possible,
than any sheriff we have ever
had.
John Kirk,
Honest, social "Jack Kirk, who
has been placed in nomination
for Assessor, is one of the early
miners and prospectors of Custer
county. He was nominated for
the simple reason that he had so
many friends who knew his good
judgment that it just had to be,
and when his term of Office ex-
pires neutrality-suspicious.
and Democrats as well as his
political friends of the present
hour-will say the Populists
knew just what was right after
all.
George e. Keyes,
Peoples Party nominee for the
Office of Auditor and Recorder
is at present resident of Clay
ton, but after the election will
move down to Challis. Mr.. Keyes
is a young man of excellent soci-
al qualities and is better qualifi-
ed mentally and physically than
any man who has ever occupied
that position in Custer county;
which is saying a great deal in
commentator of his candidacy.
He is college graduate; well
versed in law; a fine and rapid
penmen; polite, and ever accom-
modating, which are just the
right kind of qualifications for
that Office. The voters of Custer
county will never regret having
cast their ballots for George E.
Keyes, for this Office. He is the
right man for the right place
honest, capable, active and a
book-keeper and lawyer by pro-
fession, and we know our people
will take these facts in consider
alton when they go to the polls
on the 9th day of next November.
Emo~ X. zeigIer,
Nominee for Probate Judge. We
do not know but he will be a
offended for us to say anything
in approval of him as an officer.
1t is certainly enough to say he
has served this people so salts
factorly as Probate Judge and
School Superintendent that his
political opponents did not ven
ture to place any one in opposi-
ton to our nomination-undoubt-
edly they thought an opposing
candidate stood no fighting
chance. We admire their unusu-
al discretion.
Joseph l.. Ebbert.,
Populist nominee for Coroner
with wood), was virtually endor-
sed by the Republicans, by not
putting up candidate. This is
not a very lucrative position, and
is not sought after ''for revenue
only" "Rustling Joe" has held
this Office for nearly two years,
and has not as yet become a
bloated capitalist. Following is
the net proceeds for the past
year and nine months:
Expenses for campaign 1892, cigars, etc. .slS
