Silver Republicans have fonnd him.
His name is George w. Wilson He
has lived in this county for years and
bears the distinction of having been the
first county surveyor of this county af
ter its creation. The Office Of county
surveyor requires . nan of experience
and qualification b. pl )perly fill it, else
the field notes an OF .ial records will
be in Il hopeless en- ,nglenent. He
must look after tie IDS, see that new
roads are properl, constructed, estab
lish grades, and q thOreand other
things. Mr.. Wilson Is a thoroughly
competent civil engineer. who has the
ability and energy To fill the Office, and
his election is assured.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR.
John S. Axtell O.. ph;liosburg is the
candidate for public administrator, an
office which requires thorough bust
ness man with legal knowledge, and.
above all a desire to do good for human
ity without the hope Of fee or reward.
The public administrator of the present
day does not expect much, except the
honor attached to holding county Office
and the work of attempting to pay the
debts of an estate without money and
no commission. A b tier man for the
Office than John S. Axteil could not pos
sibly be found, and that he will receive
the largest majority Of any candidate on
the ticket no one will pretend to dispute.
CORONER.
A man who needs no comment is
Judge Louis Bumbaugh of Garnet, who
seeks election to the Office Of county
coroner Judge Bumbaugh will make
an excellent coroner. He is man of
large experience and respected by all
He is Judge of the lower court in the
township where he resides, and hi4 de-
cisions and rulings have always been
just and satisfactory and the law has i'll
all cases been justly adlni:i itered by

icate with the commissioner residing in
his locality, who will ever be ready TO
present his case at the next meeting of
the board. Another advantage gained
by the selection of commissioners from
different localities is that better re
suits can be attained in the way of
building and improving county roads.
The board being personally familiar
with the existing conditions Of roads
and BRIDES can order such improve
ments OF repairs as may be required
without the additional expense of send
ing one or more of their number to GER
tain localities for the purpose of deter
mining the necessity and extent of re-
pairs and Improvements to which their
attention may have been called by resi-
dents of such place. "A resident com
missioner being personally familiar
with existing conditions is also better
qualified to judge than would be
a gentleman who is a practical
stranger in that particular locality.
Last but not least, is a matter which
forms part Of the duties of the county
fathers. Providence has not blessed all
mortals alike. There are the infirm,
the poor, the helpless widows and or
phans. While most unfortunate to be
poor and dependant, there are residents
in every community who are obliged to
appeal to the county for aid. In all
such cases the county fathers supply
the needed relief. Being acquainted il

Mr.. Pardee has served the good people

The Office of assessor is one in which
every taxpayer in the county is directly

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Many of the JOURNAL subscribers
have requested that their subscription
account be presented each year, as 1T is
much more convenient to pay one dol
lar than to wait until the amount
reaches IA higher figure. We have
decided to notify each subscriber regu-
larly every year and continue doing so
until accounts are paid. We believe
everyone who really wants the JOUR-
NAL is willing to pay for it and that
those who don't pay don't want the
pa. or. The accounts have been placed
in the hands OF John Lally, who
has bee connected with the JOURNAL
for several years and is authorized to
make settlement OF all accounts. No
person need walt to consult the editor
as Mr.. Lally's receipt is sufficient, and
his statement of accounts is correct.

The practice of pairing between
members of opposite parties in con-
gress has been in use so long that its
beginning is obscure. 1t originates, eX-
plains the st. Louis Globe Democrat, in
the desire of members to save their
votes to. the party when necessarily
compelled through illness or other
cause to be absent. a republican pairs
with a democrat on all questions of
party politics and goes home. When
party question is put to the vote the
gentleman with w lom he is paired rises
and states that on this and other party
questions he is paired with the absent
member, and, therefore, cannot vote,
but if he were not he would vote yea and
nay as the case might be. Members
may pair with each other on particular
measures pending, or on all questions
of whatever nature that may come be-
fore the house. 1t is seldom, however,
that the pair extends to matters not of
party interest. Pairs may be honorably
broken only by sending sufficient
notice to the absent memberwith whom
the representative or senator present is
paired. No instance is recalled of a
pair being treacherously broken.
