A Warm Fight,

AS the coming OF spring, which is
the advance of summer, gladdens the
hearts of all, SO does the Republican
office seeker spread his wings and soar
among his constituents with q heart
full of promises and a welcome hand
shake for all with whom he comes in
contact. 1T reminds one of the old
days. when this county was more near
ly divided, and the nominees Of both
parties did great hustling, but now,
with the large increase OF voters, prin-
ciaplly foreigners, who, through the
influence of Republicanism, have been
brought to this country. to usurp the
place of the true American, the stu
alton is different. The Republican
party has grown in control OF this
county, and the above faction is cor
rallied like a shepherd would corral his
sheep. 1t is hoped their eyes may be
opened. The principal fight IN this city
and township is for delegates for the
county cierkship, the aspiarnts from
here being: l., l.. Scneehle and John
S. Cochran, and the fight has become
| very warm. Mr.. Scheehle is making a
manly and honorable fight, and has
kept away from personalities. and is
using only honest tactics, which cannot
be censured by his opponents. AS to-
morrow Is primary day, it is but JUS
tice to our well known citizen to say
that the Repuhiica nparty can make no
better choice than Mr.. Scheehle as
their candidate for this ONCE, as he is a
man backed by no faction, and is indie
pendent and only relies on his friends
who believe that the nomination should
go to a nan not bound by q faction,
