The repu ublican party has pu'
up a splendid county ticket. L
is so thoroughly acceptable tC
the people that less than dozer
men in the whole county coulc
be mustered into an attempt tc
put up an opposition ticket, and
it is a generally admitted fact
that this skeleton ofa ticket was
put up more for the purpose ol
sustaining democratic organi
zation in the county than with the
hope of electing single individ
ual upon it.
For sheriff A. K, Crawford is
candidate for reelection. "San,
dy" has demonstrated by two
years faithful and efficient ser
vice as sheriff that he is capable
and well qualified for the posi-
ton, and the people of the coun-
ty will make no mistake when
they again elect him for another
two years.
The candidate for clerk of
courts, William f. Rabbit, is al
so candidate for a second term,
having been elected for his first
term two years ago. Billy is a
rustler in whatever he takes
hold of, and there is enough good
Irish blood in his veins to make
him rather enjoy the strenuous
life, and his political opponents
will always find in him a foeman
worthy of their steel. He has
conducted the affairs of his office
in satisfactory manner, Sc
curing the approval of the courts,
the members of the bar and all
who have had official business
with him.
Thad L. Fuller is the nominee
of the publicans for states at
torney. Mr.. Fuller is now serv-
ing ia the Office, having received
his appointment upon the decease
of his partner, the late B. d.
Gam BILE. Mr. Fuller is one of the
rising young lawyers of this part
of the state, has a large and con
stantly increasing practice be-
sides his duties as attorney for
the county. He has no oppon-
ent on the democratic ticket.
George H. Pinckney, of Osceola
township is the republican candi-
date for county auditor. Mr..
Pinckney is a resident and farm
er in Osceola township, and
comes before the people with the
hearty and earnest support of
the people of that part Of the
county, where he is known as a
man of unim peachable character
aud is thoroughly capable and
qualified to take up the duties of
county auditor. He will make an
excellent successor to Mr..
Truran, who has SO efficiently
and satisfactorily carried on the
office for the past four years.
Nils Forsberg the candidate
for county treasurer on the tick
ct, is republican who needs no
introduction to the people of the
county. He has before served
them as auditor and for the past
two years has been treasurer of
the county. The splendid shape
in which the treasurer books
are kept, and the courteous. and
prompt manner in which all pa
irons of the Office are served
when doing business with Mr..
Forsberg, are worthy of commen-
dation, and entitle him to a re-
election.
S. S. Lockhart, the republican
candidate for county Judge, is
also standing for reelection.
Having filled the Office for the
past two years in a most salts
factory manner, his renomina-
tion was the natural result, and
his reelection is certain as he
has no opponent on the ballot.
For the important Office of su-
perintendent of schools, Prof.
Grant Riggle of Big Stone City,
is the republican candidate. Mr..
Riggle has devoted his life to
school work, and is recognized as
an educator of experience and
capability. He has for the past
four years been superintendent
of the graded schools at Big
Stone, and it is in the commun
ity where he is best known as
superintendent and teacher that
his qualifications are most earn
estly urged and his candidacy is
most strongly endorsed. The
people of the county will make
