fact. the only regret was that he made
his remarks so brief.
The platform adopted by the repub-
licans endorses the leaders of the par
ty and the principles of republicanism,
and dwells at some length upon county
affairs, demanding careful. econom-
ical law-abiding administration of
county affairs and stating in clear
tones that the county has not had such
in the past. The republicans are will
ing to stand by this platform and be-
lieve that the people, who care more
for good government than for PARTY
will agree with them. The REVIEW
would be glad to discuss this phase of
the campaign with reputable oppon-
ent, but as the Bulletin is only equip
ped for editorial of the ''swill barrell
kind, it has but little hope of being
aole to do so.
Taken in all, the convention did its
work admirably, The ticket is strong
one; the! different elements of the par
ty are represented and there is no man
upon the ticket to whom republicans
cannot point with pride.
THE TICKET.
1t is with pleasure that the REVIEW
introduces briefly, the republican can
didates to the people of the county.
In fact none of them need Introduction,
all are we'll known, all have lived here
for years. They are types of good
honest citizens and perhaps the best
eulogy that we can pronounce is found
in She fact that after years of residence
and intimate knowledge their party
associates have selected them q their
standard bearers. From, time to
time during the campaign the Re.
view will publish more extended men
tion of such of the candidates as we
have been unable to interview during
the limited time since She convention.
DR.. E. DARLING.
At the head of the county ticket
appears the name of the old veteran
| Union solder, that old and faithful
physician whose skill and care has
brought comfort and healing to many Il
Crawford county home, DR.. E. Darling
of Vail. DR.. Darling is Yankee,
born near Burlington Vermont in 1888.
He came to Iowa when but lad of ten
and lived in jackson county until the
out break of the Civil war. He enlist
ed in August 1861 and was in the 9th
Iowa Infantry, serving four years in
Logan's corps, which was a part of
Sherman's great army. Ex-State
superintendent Abernethy was the
Colonel of his regiment and he was
with his regiment at Pea Ridge, Vicks-
burg, Lookout Mountain, all the battles
from Chattanooga to Atlanta and
Savannah and on the famous march
northward to Raleigh North Carolina.
After the war DR.. Darling studied
medicine in the Cincinnati Medical
College, graduating in 1867. He re-
turned to Jackson county and settled
in Crawford county in 1870 living in
Deloit for some years. In 1877 he re-
moved to Vail where he has since re-
sided. DR.. Darling has held the
Offices of Mayor, Justice of the Peace
and he is at present President of the
school board. He is an old time mem
Der OF the Masonic order and has a
host of friends in every precinct of the
county. In his nomination the repub-
licans have recognized the old soldier
element of the county and the old set
tiers to whom so much is due for the
growth and developement of old Craw-
ford. Opposed to him is professional
politician who has been before the peo-
pie time and again and who has cer-
tainly received from the people ali
Interrogation to which he is entitled.
1t is our honest opinion that Mr.. Davie
will meet his waterloo at the hands of
the old-soldier citizen DR.. E. Darling.
JOHN ROHWER.
For the important Office of county
treasurer the republicans looked for a
man whose standing as citizen and
as business man should commend him
to the people or the county. regardless
OF politics Such man they have
found in John Rohwer the successful
West Side merchant and business man,
who has but recently moved to Denison
and shown his interest in our city by
the erection of a comfortable and COM
modious home. Mr.. Rohwer is a
German. we'll educated both in that
language and in English, an expert
book-keeper, a man of affairs, good
judgment and business ability. He
would make as good treasurer as
