The County Ticket.


most everyone speaks of the Republ.
can ticket nominated last Saturday.
The private character of every one of
our candidates is the very best and 1t
would be hard to pick seven men in
the community about whom less of
derogatory nature could be said. The
confidence of the public is this and
they will not abuse It.
Hon. Geo. L. Garrett, nominee for
Representative Is almost too we'll
known in Highland county to need an
introduction to anyone. He was born
and raised a Republican down in Paint
township and has always been work.
er in the party. For two terms he
was Prosecuting Attorney and has
since been engaged in the practice of
his profession, the law, in Hillsboro.
He is an able, pleasing and fluent
speaker and is always in demand at
public meetings, as he knows what to
say and what to leave unsaid. If
elected he will vote to return Senator
J. B. Foraker for another term, and
his strict scruples against even the
sembles of dishonesty would make him
Invaluable as protector against the
passage of vicious legislation.
While not so we'll known John @.
Roads, candidate for auditor has a
large circle of friends, and stuanch
ones at that, throughout the entire
county. For many years he was a
farmer, only few years ago coming
to Hillsboro where he engaged in the
grocery business with Col. Lucas. At
present he is in the insurance busi-
ness. Except as member of school
board he has never held or sought
public Office and is not politician in
the strict meaning of the word. A
man of the highest integrity and we'll
qualified both in education and ex-
perience in business he is emineutly
fitted for the position to which he as
pires, and If elected will fill the Office
with honor and credit both to himself
and the public.
Albert Feike, the candidate for
Sheriff, up to the present time was al
most unknown in Highland county po-
litics, but none stand higher in the
western part of the county where he
is known and respected by all. He is
young man and is engaged in the
grain and mill business at Lynchburg
and is in every way qualified to fill
the Office of Sheriff. His Republican
ism is of the sturdy working kind and
he will poll a large vote in Dodson
township and elsewhere that he is best
known.
w. L. Stautner the Republican nom-
inee for Treasurer is also Dodson
township citizen, being cashier of the
Lynch burg Bank. He has filled this
position very acceptably for a num-
ber of years and few enjoy larger
share of public confidence than he.
His present business vouches for his
ability to fill the Office of Treasurer.
For Commissioner, S. d. West, Of
Paint township, is presented by the
Republicans. He is one of the best
farmers in a township noted for good
agriculturists, is a man of unswerv
ing integrity and honor and it would
be difficult to find man who woult
give this important Office more atten
tion from strict conscientious stand
point. If elected we can guarantee
the people an excellent public ser
want.
r. M. Lyle, whom the Republican,
expect to elect Infirmary Director II
also farmer and one of the solid sub
stantial citizens of this county. Hi
word is as good as government bond
He was a soldier of the war of tht
Rebellion and has an excellent re
cord. If merit add fitness are consid
cred he will be elected by handsome
majority.
Last but not least comes DR.. r. w
Pratt candidate for Coroner. TIL,
Doctor is a citizen of Pricetown WHERE
he has large practice, is a stronl
Republican and it would be useless t,
say could fill the Office to perfection
