OUR NOMINEES.

A better ticket was never placed before the
people of Anderson county than that winch
was nominated by the Populists. We have not
seen the candidates, to talk with them, since
the conventions therefore, we can give little OF
their personal history i'll this issue. One thing
that can be truly said of DIR nominees is that
none of them are ofice-seekers, and some OF
Them were nominated without their knowledge
or consent.
John Post, our nominee for treasurer, IS
straightforward, honest farmer, and was IN the
field cutting corn, on the day of the conven-
ton. He is a highly-educated man, and is in
every way competent to fill the Office OF county
treasurer. He served his country well during
the late war, and deserves the suffrage of every
old soldier in the county. He is reformer
from "way back" and his sympathies are all
with the struggling masses.
Thos. Severn, nominee for sheriff, is so we'll
known throughout the county that words OF
commentator from us are scarcely necessary.
He is farmer and stock-raiser; is rather retl-
cent, never pushing himself forward, and was
never candidate for Office He is pleasant
and afable, and has host of friends. He was
brave true soldier in the late rebellion, and
is as true to his country now as then He is
Just the man for sheriff.
J.. o. Osborn, nominee for county clerk, is an
"old-timer," having been resident of Ander-
son county for thirty years. He was reared on
a farm, and knows what hard work means. A
number of years he was engaged in teaching
school-taught for eight years in his home dis
trict He carried a knap-sack and gun for
Uncle Sam during the war, never Sinking his
duty as soldier. For number OF years he
has been engaged in the mercantile business in
this city, and, by fair and honest treatment of
his customers, has made host of friends. No
man in Anderson county is better qualified to
fill the office of county clerk He is an ardent
advocate of the principles of Populism.
Capt Geo. A. Smith inominee for register of
deeds, is one of the ceanest and best men in
the county. He is farmer, and his synpa
thies are with the producing classes. AS one
of the boys who wore the blue, he has record
of which any man might well be proud. He
was noted for his bravery and devotion to his
country. He is genial, whoe-souled man,
and his friends are numerous. He is man of
good education and rare intelligence, and is
eminently qualified for the office for which he
is candidate.
G. P. Fulton, candidate for surveyor, is a
well-educated man and practical surveyor
He too, served his country in the war for the
Union. He is true reformer and friend of
the laboring masses.
DR.. Geo. Schoonover, nominee for coroner,
needs no introduction. He has been a resident
of this city for about twenty years, during
which time he has enjoyed practice second to
no physician in this part of the state. His
rare skill has brought him patients from every
portion of the county, and from adjoining
counties as we'll. He is THE man for the place
C.. H. Lowry, candidate for commissioner for
the third district, is an old reform "war-horse."
In years past, he has filled the position of COM
missioner, and made brilliant record as de-
fender of the peoples. cause. He was some
times called "the peoples Watchdog" In
the railroad bond fights, i'll the years gone by,
he and M. J. Turrell labored necessarily for
the interests of the people. Elect c. H. Low
~, and there will be no deals which will tend
to further burden our people. Mr.. Lowry is
also an old soldier.
Altogether, ours is a ticket that any consci-
entious citizen can heartily support.
