THE REPUBLICAN SUPERVISOR
TICKET.

The republican convention that
assembled in Jackson last Saturday,
in the selection of candidates for
supervisors in the various districts,
did its full duty to the taxpayers.
In township two the nominee was
virtually selected at the primaries.
W. NJ ,Amick, the present incum-
bent, received the Endorsement of a
majority of his party, and that set
tied the controversy in his favor.
No man, however conscientiously he
may endeavor to do his full duty as
a public servant, can hope to please
everybody. When an official acts
sincerely and openly, with single
eye to the carrying out of his trust,
he will still find his pathway is not
free from thorns and obstacles
strewn by dissenters. This is in
separable from public service, and
must be classed among the un-
pleasant features of Office holding.
By the verdict of his party con-
stituents Mr. Amick has been as
sured of their confidence and sup
port, and we believe the republicans
of the valley will accord him their
undivided support, and thereby en-
sure his triumphant election.
In township one the party has put
forward a strong man in the person
of S. W. Bright. Mr.. Bright has
been a resident and business man OF
this town since pioneer days. He
is man of strong convictions, OF
scrupulous regard for his word and
obligations, and of sound business
judgment. He possesses in an emf
nent degree all the qualities that are
necessary to the discharge of the
duties of supervisor. 1t was for
this reason that he was sought out
and prevailed upon to accept the
nomination. He has always been a
stalwart republican, but never a
seeker after office. This is the first
time in his career that he is a candi-
date for Office. 1t is a clean cut case
of the Office seeking the man, and
not the man chasing the Office. Now
that he has received the nomination
he wants to win, and will exert him.
self to that end The voters of this
district, without regard to party
politics, will recognize in Mr.. Bright
a man in every way worthy of sup
port; one who cannot be swayed
from following his convictions by
any appeals of personal or partisan
nature. We confidently believe that
the people of the district will elect
him. We have nought tosay against
his opponent, M. Newman, who has
been in Office four years, He is g
pleasant and agreeable gentleman
whom we hold in high regard. His
record as an official is before the
people, and every voter must Judge
for himself according to his indi
vidual views. The Ledger, as a be-
lever in republican principles and
policies, and an advocate of republi
can candidates, asks the republicans
to stand by their nominee, because
he is in every sense worthy of theil
support.
In township four Morris Brinn is
the republican candidate. This is
the best selection that could have
been made. He filled the office the
preceding tern, and his record
especially in the work performed
upon the roads of his district-was
so satisfactory, that without opposi-
tion the nomination was rendered tC
him for the coming term. 1t is uni
versaDy admitted that he made a
better showing for the money ex-
pended upon the roads than any
supervisor the district has had
under the present system of road
supervision. In all other respect
Mr.. Brinn is a safe, reliable, and
conscientious man, and will conduct
the Office on business-like basis.
That he will be elected is admitted
by those best qualified to Judge.
