1t is unnecs ssary that we say word
in diSparagement of the candidates
for office on the republican ticket.
They are known to our people who al e
capable of a correct estimate OF the
men and of their fitness and ability
for the work before them.
So likewise they know the d mo-
cratic candidates and know also that
they are fully as competent to serve
the public and promote it's interests
as are their rivals for the Offices nam
ed. They are honest and capable, at.d
worthy Of the positions for which
they have been nominated.
&c woELLSTEIN,
candidate for Supervisor is bushes,
man in Cresco and is noted for honest
business methods, just appreciation n
of the rights of Others, has reco.d
unblemished by faithlesSness to any
public interest, is qualified by age and
experience to discharge every duty
that pertains to this, the.most impor-
tant public Office in the county. He
is a resident OF Cresco. and as there
has not been a supervisor from this
township since Col. Smedley was Its
representative on the board more than
twenty-five years ago. The population
of Cresco and the ia xeS annually levied
and collected from it justify its people
In asking representation on the
board of supervisors.
AUGUST sCHIMMlNG
of Saratoga is the worthy nominee for
the Office of County Recorder. He
would bring to the Office mpetence,
fidelity to business. affability and a
trustworthiness that gains him the
respect and confidence Of all his
friends and neighbors. He is fit
representative Of the sturdy farmer
element of the county, and is entitled
to their earnest support.
F. 81. OWENS,
candidate for Clerk of the Court is a
resident and a hotel proprietor in the
village Of Chester. He is in the prime
of life, a man of the attachments that
lit him pre-eminently for the duties of
the Office. He is native of FaYette
county, came to Howard county with
his parents when six years of age and
has been resident of our county for
more than a quarter of a century, is
we'll and favorably known by it's peo-
pie and is deservedly popular.
Our candidates are not habitual
office.seekers but were placed in the
position they occupy by those who
knew their integrity, qualifications,
and fitness for competent discharge OF
the duties the respective offices de-
mand from its incumbents.
