OUR CANDIDATES.
All of Whom Arc Good Men and
Sure Winners.


Jas. w. Windon, the Democrat
ic nominee for Sheriff, needs no
introduction to the people by the
Register. He is well-to-do far
mer, residing in Robinson District.
He is good business man, having
the respect and confidence of all
his neighbors, and no better or
more popular man could have been
named by the Democrats. He
will make safe and popular sheriff.
Hon. John b. Beller, the nomi-
nee for Prosecuting Attorney, is a
practicing lawyer at this bar, hay
ing the esteem and confidence of
all his clients. No one stands
higher in this community than Mr..
Beller. He is popular, and when
candidate four years ago for this
office, he ran about two hundred
votes ahead of his ticket. He will
make an able and watchful Prose
cutting Attorney. That he will be
elected we have not the least doubt
Col. Smith, nominated for
County Clerk, is the present in
cumbent, and is so we'll known to
every voter in the county, that it
is useless for us to mention his
name before people among whom
he is SO universally popular. His
administration of the Office has
been satisfactory to all the people;
and his triumphant reelection is
conceded even by the most un-
compromising and hot-headed Re
publican.
Mr.. Geo. Eckard, the nominee
for Circuit Clerk, is a popular
young man, residing on a farm in
Cooper district. His profession as
successful school teacher pecul-
iarly qualities him to fulfill the
duties of this most important Office.
He is man of sterling character,
and will bring to his support many
voters outside of his own party. No
one questions his ability, or doubts
his election.
Mr.. Chas. f. Jamison, of Pleas
ant Diats, the nominee for Surveroy
is K young man, and farmer. He
is we'll posted in Surveying; and n
ybung man of excellent character
ahd good address, and if elected,
which he will be, he will do his
work we'll for all who may ask for
his services. He should receive
the vote of every young man in the
county, regardless of politics.
Messrs. D. w. Skinner and II. r..
Greenlee, are both farmers and
gentlemen of sterling wealth, and
both have heretofore acted with the
Republican party, but seeing the
tendency of their party was to make
the poor, poorer, and the rich
richer, they both left the party
some years ago, and since then
have been active Populists. They
are both excellent men for the
House of Delegates, and will see
that the interests of their constitu-
ents are carefully guarded. If
elected no job legislation will pass
the Legislature without their pro-
test. Mr.. Greenlee lives in Union
District, and Mr.. Skinner in Glen
denim District
Mr.. John A. Fisher, candidate
for Assessor in the First District,
and Mr.. John Kinney, candidate
in the Second district, are both
we'll qualified to perform the duties
of their respective offices. Mr..
Fisher lives in the upper part of
the courtyard Mr.. Kinney on the
lower side of the Kanawha. Both
men are farmers, and both of them
are men of standing in their com
munities.
Mr.. Jas. A. Dunn, the nominee,
for County Commissioners, is the
present incumbent and President
of the County Court. He has
served the people faithfully and
we'll, and has always been watch
full of their interests, and on more
than one occasion has forestalled
Jobs as Commissioner that would
have been burdensome to the tax
payers of this county. He is a.
safe man, and just such n man as
the tax payers want to re-elect as a
member of the County Court.
This is the most important office
to the tax payers in the county,
and they will re-elect him. We
predict. as does everybody admit,
