A WORD TO BUSINESS MEN.

Merchants and others who are inter
ested in having the town built up and
advertised abroad, should bear in mind
that no county paper can live and thrive
on the income from subscription and
advertising alone. No paper in the
county to-day is paying its expenses
from these two departments alone 1t
is the Job Department that helps the
country publisher to furnish their read
ers with good paper and to do good
for the town by sending valuable infor
nation away Remember this when
you have little printing to be done.
Take il to a newspaper that has spent
years in talking up the town and in
pulling your individual business. Do
it for two reasons. 1t will help the
editor to publish better paper and it
will help yon. Newspaper men are not
slow to notice favors and they are
quick to reciprocate. There is no rea-
son why bit of job work should be
sent out of Canon-it should all be done
by the newspapers of tine city The
RECORD appreciates all such fayors
and there are other papers in the city
that are deserving of this support.

JOHN b. MEsERvE has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans for the i'm
portant position of District Attorney
of the county OF Fremont, Colurado.s !
The place pays fine salary and as Mr..
Meserve has two opponents, "a Demo
crat and Populist, his chances are
bright for election. The present incum-
bent is Populist, but was elected on a
small majority by fusion. Mr.. Meserve
did some excellent work here as a law
student in the Office of Judge Moore
and his record as an attorney sin ce
going to the Centennial state has been
to his credit. He is hard worker, a
thorough student, gentleman of good
habits of thought and of action and
will honor the Office His hosts OF
friends in this county will sincerely
hope to see him win.-Abilene (Kas.,
Daily Reflector.

County politics of Fremont is fast
being shaped The Great Mixer has
been at work and one dose for the
people OH the 2nd of November has
been prepared 1t is made up of two
good things that mix well together and
the combination is very palatable
Both Republicans and Silver Republi-
cans are well pleased with their medi-
cine and will take it to man. AT the
time of taking there may be two brands,
one with the old reliable trade mark,
the Eagle, and another with the later
emblem, the Dove. However, that will
make no difference to either of the
takers as the ingredients of both prepa-
rations are exactly the same. If the
people want general cure-all, one
that will effect every part of the
county's political system from the
clerks office down to surveyor; one
that will put good and true men into
Office and give the people back their
favorites of old; ii the people want a
combination of good with nothing dis
tasteful or of evil effect they will take
that which was made up by the Repub-
Iican and Silver Republican parties on

Hon. HOSEA TOWNSEND, of Silver
Cliff, was last week appointed Judge of
the Uuited States District Court of the
Indian Territory to till vacancy caused
by the death of Judge Kilgore. Mr.
Townsend is well known in this dist
rict, having been our representative in
congress for two terms. He has many
friends in Canon who congratulate him
upon his well deserved good fortune

election with good,sized even major

election with good-sized even major
ity.
But the ticket is stronger than the
combined party strength. There never
was a more popular man all over the
county than Geo. II. Cassedy, who for
four years previous to Mr.. Milsom's
election, served the people as County
Clerk, and Fremont county has never
had more efficient officer and stronger
candidate than j w. Nilsson, who has
held the Office of County Clerk since
January. '94 Either one of these wor-
thy candidates could be elected if alone
on the ticket, but when working to-
gether their majorities will be consid-
erably increased.
The candidate for sheriff, VIM. l..
Hawkins of Coal Creek, is not so well
known in Canon as he is in Florence
and the coal camps. In those places
he will not only get the full vote of the
two parties that have nominated him
but will draw largely upon his friends
in other parties. Mr.. Hawkins is strong
because he is clean, straightforward
honest man-the kind Canon people
like to vote for.
Mr. Henry Lloyd is candidate for
Assessor. The fact that he has held
this Office for four successive terms and
last time elected received the larges.
majority of any Republican on the
ticket, speaks volumes for his popu-
larity in the county.
No officer comes in contact with more
of the people and no office is more i'm
portant than the Superintendent of the
schools. For this position V. A. Hut
ton has been nominated and will be
elected Those interested in schools
should congratulate themselves on this
fact, as few teachers in the county are
better qualified for the Important place.
The Commissioner to be elected this
year must be from the Canon City dis
| trict and for that position L. F. Jewett,
| the well-known nursery man of Lincoln
Park has been selected. He is good
business man-ihe qualification most
required for this responsible position
The next Surveyor will be Mr.. G. L
| Nicholl, a prosperous mining man OF
Bare Hills, and the next Coroner, DIR
j. A. Baker of Florence, who has served
in that capacity the last two years.
All things considered, no party il
Fremont county ever nominated Z
ticket stronger III its entire personne
than the one just mentioned, and the
RECORD desires to predict right now
that the Republican average majority
was never half SO great as it will be OF
November 2nd-this year.
