vote cast atthe last general election.
The number of votes cast at the last
general election in Grant county was
somewhere around 5000 Hence all
anyone has TO DO to be put in nomina-
ton in this way, is to secure 10 sign
ers to his papers.
Is it not absurd to say that nomi-
nation thus secured. without public
or private discussion, newspaper no.
tice. or any general knowledge of the
fact that one aspires to office, is en-
titled to more respect than that made
by a convention representing several
thousand voters from all parts of the
county? Any man. we care not
who he be, can secure a paper nomi-
nation to any office. Very few will
refuse to sign paper, no matter how
distasteful the candidate. Moral
courage to tell man to his face that
we dom like him is a rare virtue.
We take it then, that convention
is the better way of focusing public
sentiment, or at least party sentiment,
and in the case CT our late congen-
ton, with several good men to select
from, the choice fell upon an abe

the duties OF the office from the very

dicial quality of mind without which
no lawyer, however eminent as a
practitioner. can be successful or
satisfactory on the bench.
We hope and expect TO see him elect
ed, because he is a far more able man
man than his opponent; because he is
a Republican and the nominee Of his
party; because he is being fought IN

City politics has fairly doomed. the
past week and from all appearances
the judicial election Tuesday with all
its spirit will be no warmer a contest
than the municipal here at Lancaster.
The mayorality race has simmered
down to two candidates, Atty. Herman
Bucbner and DR.. S +. Hassell, the
other aspirants Withdrawing Both
of these gentlemen are representative
citizens Of Lancaster, thoroughly con-
versant with the needs OF the city, and
alive to its interests at all times.
Each is admirably fitted for the place
and a safely conducted administration
is assured in case either is elected
Neither one has filed his nomination
papers at this writing, but it is likely
they will within twenty-four hours
The result will be close, friends of
each feeling confident of success.
The contest for aldermanic honors
will wage warmly also. In the first
ward for term of one year H. Ress-
meyer, present incumbent, and c. H.
Angus are pitted against each other
aud the winner will have no big major
ity. j. r. Place and Chas. Burrows viii
strive for the one year term.
In the second ward H. Muesse has
no opponent in his run for one year
term as alderman, and along with JAS
Woodhouse, who has no opposition as
city treasurer, is one of pair of good
men who may be sure of election.
John Pink and Robt Brooker are in
the race for one year term.
Nomination papers favorable to H.
G. Watton's candidacy for alderman
in the third were circulated Tuesday,
for the two year term. He is present
incumbent on the council from the
third ward. His opponent is Pat May.
For one year Lewis Wetter and A.
Schuester are candidates.
The fourth ward voters will choose
between H Henkel and E. E. Graham
for alderman for two years. Friends
of j. Bennett desiring to see Art.
Knapp have opposition on the ticket
circulated nomination papers Tuesday
for him for a one year term.
The entries in the supervisors race
remain identieally the same as noted
last week, and close, exciting finish
is promised in all quarters. In the
first ward J. S. Wright and ThOs.
lockwood are in the fray; w.
J. Brennan James Mccormick and /
" E. Webb in the second;
VIM. Ziegler and Thos Mcdonald in
the third: r. Meyer. Jr. and Martin
Oswald in the fourth All are good
men and we wish that Lancaster was
entitled To eight representatives On
the county board instead Of four, that
all might be elected.
r. E. Mccoy and John Stone are the +
only candidates for assessor and for
this plum warm contest may he
anticipated.
There are three candidates out for
Justice Of peace, but only two are - he 4
chosen. - one IF the three is bound to
meet with defeat. Voters will bear in
mind tho fact that they are privileged

Life.

The poets exclamation 40 Life feel
thee bounding in my veins. is joyous
one. Persons that can rarely or never
make it, in honesty TO themselves, are
among the most unfortunate. They do
not hOe, but exist; for to HVe implies
more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong-to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to retire
not overcome by them-to feel life bound
ing in the veins. A medicine that has
made thousands of people, men and wo-
men, well and strong, has accomplished
a great work, bestowing the richest bless
ings, and that medicine is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. The weak, rundown, or debili-
tated, from any cause, should not fail to
take it. 1t builds up the whole system,
changes existence INTO life, and makes
life more abounding. We are glad to
say these words in its favor to the readers
of our columns.

Gupners Want To Be Ensigns

Two gunners in the navy have filed
applications with the Navy Department
for appointment as ensigns under an act
OF Congress authorizing the selection
each year of six warrant officers for COM
missions in the regular establishment.
Discretion is allowed the Secretary of the
Navy to make these appointments, but.
owing to the small number of applicants
and the fact that there is strong opposi.
ton by the officers to opening the ranks
OF the navy to the enlisted force of the
service, it is not expected any appoint.
appointments will be made this year.
Commissioned rank in the line of the
navy had been open to the graduates ot
the Naval Academy only until the re.
cent act of Congress gave deserving war.
rant officers chance. The law provide.
that men so selected must take a year S
course at the Naval Academy prior tc
being commissioned.
