A REMARKABLE CANDIDATE.

THE new writer Of Republican
Glasses in the Sunday Star has
succeeded In hiding his Identity pretty
well. but the following has certain ear
marks which makes us suspect that it
was written In the court house by some
official in his leisure moments, and who
believes that the rights OF the people
are best conserved by second terms,
third terms and even by life terms. It
reads:
The Republicans OF this county are
getting ready 10 carry the county in
the face of two tickets. and Win. Quig-
ley is worth more votes to the Republi-
can ticket than any other three men
that will appear upon IL. He can be
reelected whether there are three or
more tickets in the field. His record
Is such that very taxpayer IN the coun-
~ feels that Il is money IN his pocket
to have Quigley clerk OF the Levy
Court. There is not a thief or a graft
er i'm the county that is not opposed tc
Quigley. but that is the main reason
for his coming success.
Now we have been disposed to allow
each Of the candidates to make his OWL
fight and stick to the policy OF a fail
field and no favors. but IL we have q
candidate with the qualities above de.
scribed, we may have to revise ouI
