A week from next Tuesday county
commissioner for the second district
in which the city of Cooperstown is
situated is to be elected.
1t is district that needs to
be represented by a man of good buei-
ness qualifications, and in view of this
fact the republicans have nominated
E. w. Blackwell for that Office. We
believe that the best interests
of the district will be sub
served by his election. This is the
only Office to be voted for this fall.
and voters should not let the matter
slip from their mind, Tuesday, Nov.
7th, election day.
It is rumored that one of Coopers-
town delegates in the Mckinley demon
stration felt so elated at getting out
| where he could s'get something that
he offered Mckinley drink; but Mac
had had a chew in his mouth and
didn't care for any just then.-Senti-
mel.
President Mckinley was the guest OF
the state of North Dakota. honored by
all parties irrespective Of politics,
and as the president. of this great
country is entitled to the respect OF
even populist editors. We think
there is a scarcity of gray matter in
the skull of the party who penned the
above item and it shows lack OF
courtesy due to the man who has been
elected to the highest position in the
country by the people. Now ii the
Sentinel editor would only tell US who
the delegate was it would probably
reveal the fact that the delegate was
Of the same political faith as that OF
the Sentinel.
