The Peoples party county convention
held at the court house last Monday
afternoon was q grand success in every
sense Of the term.
it was convention that would do
credit to any party in any community.
1T was a business convention, conducted
on business methods, IN the business
interests OF the county Of Cook. Every
precinct in the county was fully repre-
sented and it is but reasonable to pre-
sumo that the doings Of that represent
atlye body Of citizens will meet the
approval Of the voters at the polls. It
was convention Of the people and the
aidates nominated for county Offices
will, when elected, be free to administer
the affairs of the county for the GREATEST
good to the greatest number. Unbiased
by self interest we believe that it can be
truthfully said that the Peoples ticket
is composed Of mon who, without an
exception, are capable Of filling the offices
for which they are named and that there
1 is not single man named thereon who
is lacking in self reliance and devotion to
the public interests 80 necessary for the
proper execution Of public trust.
JAS. a. TUCKER
candidate for county auditor ia too we'll
known to the people Of Cook county to
need any words OF commentator from
us, He has served two terms in the
capacity of register of deeds and has
given such general satisfaction that the
people have decided to promote him to
the Office Of county auditor His record
as q public officer and private citizen
constitutes q more eloquent recommen-
dalton than we can utter, and his hOstil.
lily to fraud and corruption in govern
mental affairs makes him most desirable
man for the important Office to which he
aspires.
That the convent lion madea wise choise
In it's selection OF
WINFIELD s, TuNKs
as candidate for county treasurer no one
will dispute. He has resided on home
stead in the western part of the county
tor the past three years and has taken
an active interest iE the welfare of the
county. He is a gentleman of honor.
integrity and ability and if elected will
conduct that important office IN q man
ner satisfactory to all concerned.
Owing to the close relationship Of
NV. CHRIS. MURPHY, t. i
candidate for register of deeds, to ourself.
our modesty forbids us saying much in
his behalf. However, we betray no con-
fdence in saying that we know he wants
to be elected and in adding that if elected
he proposes that the affairs of the Office
shall be 80 conducted that no friend of
his will ever be ashamed Of having helped
to put him there. VS. IL =.
CLAUS G. MoNKER sss
candidate for judge Of probate, is too
we'll known to need q word of introduce
ton to the citizens of Cook county.
Suffice it to say that he is very deserv-
ing citizen and is eminently qualified
for the position for which he has been
nominated. His unanimous nomination
is assurance enough that he will be called
upon to serve the people for the next
two years in such capacity.
Ihe convention was evidently mindful
OF the Importance Of the office OF superin
tendent Of schools when it placed in
nomination ~
WILLIAM E1nQu1sr -.
as candidate for that important position.
He being gentleman of education and
refinement himself, he takes special
interest in the education Of the young
and will, when elected, be untiring in
efforts to promote education. His elect
ION is assured. !. ..t.s
L. y. G. T1rus, .....
the peoples candidate for county attorney
is not so we'll known as the other can
ofn1 hn Ill
but short time. He has cast his lot
with us however and will in future make
Cook county his home We believe Mr..
Titus to be a very capable attorney and
are pleased to say that his election is
assured, he having no opposition.
The gentleman who represented the
Second commissioner district IN the
Peoples convention deserve the thanks
OF the people of the county for placing
in nomination such man as =
N,5 HENRY J. BRAUN
for the responsible position of county
commissioner of the Second district.
Upon the county commissioner deyolyes
the general management of the county,a
business affairs. In these positions
especially we should be represented
by broad minded men, mon Of sound
Judgment and possessed of thorough
business tact. Such man is Mr.. Braun.
He is broad guaged enough to be able
to see when private interests are encroach-
ing upon public rights and will never
permit such a thing to be done. AS q
public official he will have no friends to
favor nor enemies to punish but will do
justice to all. His election is certainty.
Cast your ballot for the peoples ticket
and you will be serving we'll your own
interests and the interests OF Cook coun-
ty also.
If q dollar be dollar-honest coin,
without deceit-one may melt it, one
may smelt it, but it's value won't retreat
Melt ten dollars -silyer dollars in un,

Melt gold dollars melt an eagle--in af-

Will you tell me, kindly tell me, how

There was never yet equation that de-
manded legislation to establish right to

sfallacy! And I'm thinking, quietly
