THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

- Ae1A NOOAAl
a few words in relation to the Re.
publican County Ticket at this time
will not be amiss. We believe the
voters of the county without regard
to party affiliations will agree that
the gentlemen named for the several
offices on the Republican ticket are
thoroughly qualified in every way to
fill the places to which they aspire, to
the entire satisfaction OF the people
they seek to serve. Our candidate
for Congress,
HON. WILLIAM G.. ARNOLD,
has made record in the National
House that is at once a great credit
to himself and the constituency which
he represents. As new member he
was among the foremost in that nody,
and be was always found on the right
side of all questions pertaining to the
welfare of his people and the nation
at large. His vote and influence
were ever for the policy of protection
to the American laboring man and
American industries. His record on
the matter of liberal pensions for the
soldiers is one which members of
years standing might be proud Of.
His speeches in behalf of the boys
who fought for their country are
among the best ever delivered in
Congress, aud will win him hundreds
of-votes in this campaign. He was
attentive TO business, and careful to
look after the wants of all who had
occasion to correspond with him on
subjects of interest to themselves
never neglecting to answer all com.
mnnlcations that came to him. II
returned TO Congress, and there is ev.
cry reason to believe he will be, Mr..
Arnold will be better equipped than
ever to represent and serve the in.
tersts of his people. In him we have
candidate around whom we can
rally with hearty support, assured
that when elected we will have a rep.
resentative in Congress that will take
rank with the leading men of the ma
ton Put your shoulder to the wheel
for Arnold.
For the Office of Assembly the Re.
publicans of Forest comfy have as
their nominee
j. E. WENK,
editor of this paper. After a term
served in that capacity, and having
been re'nominated without opposition,
1t might perhaps be as we'll to leave
the matter with the people to Judge
OF the record. When a candidate
two years ago we made one promise i
elected, which was: Fidelity to the
trust reposed." 10 our duties in tn,
Legislature, we tried to fulfill tha
promise. With what success the peo
pie must be the judge. We repea
that promise to the people of Fores
county at this time, aud shall if re
turned turn the experience gained il
one session to the best account for tn
welfare Of our people.
JOHN H. ROBERTSON,
of Jenks township, is the Republicar
nominee for prothonotary. OF MI
Robertson's qualifications and entir
ttDess for the Office it is scarcel
worth while to speak. Our peopl
are well aud very favorably acquain
ted with him, and there is no vote
that will not at once agree that b
has every requisite qualification t
. make a model officer in that capacity
He will be an abliging as we'll as
Painstaking and careful official. UI
der his care the prothonotary's ofic
will be conducted in a manner tha
will reflect credit upon himself an
the county. 10 this office, perhaT
more than in any other, the utmoi
accuracy is required and Mr.. Rober
SON large experience in a clerici
capacity admirably fits him for Il
place. He should and will recei,
the united support of the party at Il
polls
FRANK P. WALKER,
of Green township, the nominee
the Republicans of Forest county f,
Sheriff, is another who deserves Il
united and earnest support of Il
people for the Office to which he a
pires. lie is another man who is p
euliarly fitted by education and Ell
