in the winter of 1869-70, which by his
own labor he has modelled into a coy
and comfortable home and farm, on
which he still resides. Since arriving
at age he took an interest in the well
fare Of the community at large, and
his sympathieS from the beginning
have been with the republican prin-
cipleS, having himself been lifelong
and answering republican. Almost
from the first year of his becoming a
permanent settler in northwestern
Wood county, he has had the respect
and confidence of his fellOWcitiZenS,
which is proven by the fact that he
has been chosen to many offices of
public trust, almost continually since
that time, having been town clerk,
school clerk, president of the town
| board of education and chairman of
| his town, which office he still holds,
and has also been city treasurer of
| Grand Rapids, member Of the board
| of education of the city Of PittSyille,
register of deeds of Wood county from
1885 to 1889, and is at present serving
as one of the jury commissioners OF
this county. He has always been
| faithful, able and honest in diScharg-
! ing the duties imposed upon him as a
public officer, and he can be relied
upon to fearlessly, impartially and
honestly discharge such other duties
as he might be entrusted with in any
public office which he accepts. The
people Of Wood county can rest assured
that Mr.. Christensen, if chosen tC
represent them in the assembly, will
do that which is right in all matters
pertaining to their best interests. II
is with a sense of pride that The
Times presents to its readers so honor
able a man as Mr. Christensen.

President Mckinley is a bad man
because he sought to avoid the war

without our sustaining single defeat.

The democracy is much encouraged
by a light registration of voters in

Illustration of the value of democratic
arguments that the greatest number
of Stay-at-hOme voters results in the

gains. An uninhabitable island would
be eternally democratic.-Sen
Let the remaining few days of this
campaign be made active in state, legis-
lative and county matters; the stay at
home vote is the one which republicans
need most fear. There should be no
apathy or disinterestedness for a good
honest-dollar ballot now will go long
ways towards squelching for evermore
the free silver craze, that if once MOI
trodden down, will go safely and surely
on its way to the democratic boneyard
