OUR CANDIDATES.

We hoist, this week, the names of
the peoples party candidates for the
coming contest. Without any ques.
tionit is tae best ticket ever presented
to the people of this county. Every
man on it is a tower of strength. This
is admitted by our enemies. A promi-
nent business man of this city, who by
the way is a republican, in speaking
of the ticket said; "There is not q
man ON the ticket but what any bust
ness man in this city would feel hon
ored by having him for q customer.
andn n man who be would not trust
Tor any amout Of goods he desired. =

minger would get the nomination
after be was endorsed at the
primary in his township and especially
was yhis emphasized when Frank
Mcguire refused to let his name be
brought before the convention. The
reasons were plain. Mr.. Esiminger
has been in this movement since its in
ception and has always been a harl
worker for the cause, and has never
before allowed his name to be used as
a candidate for any office. While
we have nothing but kindly feel +
ings for Mr.. Saith and
MIR. Miller ana Mr.. Parks, and
while any of them would have made a
good race and a good officer, yet we
feel thu, the peoples party convention
did the right thing in nominating for
sheriff the Hon. Blatch Eaminger, of

candidate for the place and that was
the successful candidate, Joan Turkle,

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

correspondents of the Farmers Review

drought has had very harmful effect.
Some of the correspondents report the
seed rotted in the ground. In other eases
it has made small growth. Late rains
have done some good. Early Sown whe9c
is doing well in localities. In Michigan
it is in bad condition. in some localities
the worst for mar years. Kentucky re-
