your attention to the men and issues
which we are supporting during this
campaign with the view solely Of
getting them fairly before both you
and your friends and neighbors Of the
opposing parties. We certainly have
every cause to be proud Of the princi-
pies which we as a party are adyo.
eating. 1t is true no national issues
are directly involved and no leading
questions are on trial, yet it is Of i'm
portance that we should win q signal
victory for the reason that it will
lend encouragement for the coming
great national battle next year; 1t
will tend to preserve our organization
and will dampen the ardor Of those
who oppose the great principles
which have become the foundation
stones Of the Republican party and
have made sure the safety and pros
perity Of the State and nation when
that party has been in power.
The success Of our opponents this
year means increased energy and as
surance on their part in 1896 and we
cannot afford therefore to make any
concessions this year or permit local
dissatisfaction or personal prejudice,
should such exist, to swcrve us from
the path Of party duty.
A united Republican party in this
county will make it impossible for
our opponents to defeat us and IT Is
the hope Of the committee Of which |
have the honor to be chairman that
every Republican in the county will
get in line for a sweeping victory and
the election Of our entire ticket.
Our candidates are in every respect
eminently fitted for the positions to
which they aspire and the ticket is as
whole one to which every Republic
can owes his loyal allegiance
W. H. Logan, Of Wheatland town
ship, the gentleman who this year
leads our ticket as the nominee for
treasurer, is one of the county's oldest
residents and is man Of marked
ability and unquestionable character;
he is a farmer and has heretofore
taken little part in politics save to
vote consistently and regularly the
Republican ticket; as a man Of prob
ity and honor he is entitled to the
undivided support Of the county,
c. N. Hull, the efficient and honor
able candidate for county clerk is one
of Herington's foremost citizens; four
years service as postmaster Of his
town proved his ability to success
fully and satisfactorily fill a posi-
ton Of public trustand responsibility;
in his private business affairs he has
proved himself worthy the confidence
and respect Of his neighbors and as a
Republican his consistent record COM
mends him to the good will Of his
fellow party men.
Miss Mace King, the nominee for
register Of deeds, is a Dickinson
county girl who enjoys the respect
and esteem Of ALL Two years in the
registers office has demonstrated her
entire ability to discharge the duties
carefully and efficiently and her po-
likeness and courtesy have won her
the friendship Of all. In supporting
her the Republicans will not be for
the first time supporting a woman
for the place, Miss Junken having
been twice elected in the past. Miss
King needs no encomiums at the
hands OF this committees her work
and her character are such as to en-
title her to the earnest support Of the
party.
George G. Huffman needs no intro
duction to the Republicans Of this
county among whom he has been
active for years. He is man Of
energy and intelligence and will fill
the sherff's Office ably and WE'LL in
business he has shown himself to be
a man Of his word; as Republican he
has never wayered but has stood
every test and gone smilingly forth
to do earnest battle for the whole
ticket; he has lived among US for
years and no man is more deserving
Of the hearty good will Of his party.
A. c. Romig has been SO long the
efficient surveyor Of the county that
at each time he has run his ma ority
has grown; irrespective Of politics the
people recognize bis worth and abil-
ity. lie is an old resident with years
OF honorable life behind him; he has
been active in advancing theinterests
Of the county and her people and as a
Republican has been honest and re-
liable.
The same may be said Of our candi-
date for coroner, U. II. Amsbaugh,
who should and will be reelected.
Neither Of these Offices are rich in
emolumcnts but both require efficient
men and both Of the above fill the
