The County Ticket.

The good citizens OF Chittenden county,
whose attention is absorbed by the guber-
Material campaign, should not allow their
zeal for their State favorites to make them
forget the duty Of making good selections
for our various county offices. The repub-
lican candidates for the Senate. the Hon.
C. w. Brownell of Burlington, DR.. c. ].
Russell of Hinesburgh and Charles S.
Ashley of Milton, are we'll known as re-
spected citizens and men of good judgment
who would serve our county with credit
in the upper branch of the Legislature
They are pledged to look after the inter
ests Of our farmers as we'll as to carry out
the plank of the State republican plat
form providing for the passage of a high
license and local option law for approval
by the people
The people OF the county know that no
mistake will be made in supporting States
Attorney T.. c. Mower for a second term
In the office which he has filled so accept
votes OF every republican. Thomas Reeves
has made one of the most efficient and
careful sheriffs that ever served in Chitten-
den county, and no thoughtful citizen will
vote to place the important responsibilities
attached to this office in the hands of a
man who has had practically no expert
ence in that direction. Sheriff Reeves has
shown marked ability in the capture of
criminals, and the fact that he is a terror
to lawless persons is strong argument
in favor of his reelection.
The Hon. John f. Allen and Capt John
Lyon are deserving veterans of the Civil
War as well as good citizens, and they
should receive the undivided republican
vote Of the county for the Office
of assistant Judge. Judge Bingham
has discharged the duties of the probate of.
fce with ability and satisfaction to the
people and his reelection by the usual
majority is certainty. County Commits.
sioner Hall will unquestionably receive the
support of his party as he deserves.
Vote the straight republican ticket next
Tuesday.
