THE RESULTS IN THIS COUNTY.

The lion and the lamb lie down
together again, and as usual.
In quote the immortal words of
some one, with a slight change, we
have met the enemy in this county
and, we are theirs.
The results of the late election
appear ON another page. The eff
fort to overcome the Democratic
majority was a noble one and tn e
Republicans nominees, ,Messrs. Arm
strong and Shannon are to be con-
graduated. We do not claim that
the result was accomplished with
out Democratic aid, and we extend
to all those who manfully resisted
the successful attempt to elect dis
tasteful candidates our cordial con-
gratulations.
1t is an evidence of the growing
sentiment in this county, that the
people intend to have their say, and
that they will no longer permit a
little coterie of selfish and place
seeking politicians to dictate the
nominations and then, compel by
threats of party ostracism all
those known as Democrats to bow
the knee to the Baels they set up.
When the people take these mat
ters in their own hands, and see that
only good capable men are nomin-
ated, or if incapable ones are NOM
mated, that they are elected to stay
at home, then may we hope for a
more faithful administration of our
county affairs, and a more economi-
cal management of the county fin
ances. Make the test, not to what
party does n man pretend to be-
long, but what are his qualifications
for the Office he seeks, what is his
character, what his capability why
should he be placed in a responsible
position, is he fit for the office?
Your prosperity depends to large
extent on the manner you are taxed
and the amount of taxes you pay.
You want men in official positions
who pay taxes themselves, and not
those who are interested only that
a large percentage may lodge in
their pockets,
We make these reflections at this
time that the sober, thinking voters
of the county may have ample time
to orehect. The township elections will
soon be here and these same princi-
Piles should be carried out in MAX
ing nominations and elections.
Take the first step in this direc-
ton at the very next opportunity, if
you have not already done so. And
your children and your children S
children will rise up and call you
blessed.

THE FAIR WILL CASE,
