The republicans have nominated
for County Judge. Mr.. Sloan, who
recently removed here from Nebraska.
Mr.. Sloan as a lawyer and a prac-
titioner is in no higher class than his
opponent by any manner of means.
Furthermore he has far less claim
upon the sufferages of the people
than Henry r. Rhone. The latter
has ever been found working for the
upbuilding of Grand Junction and at
times against tremendous odds. No
scheme that had any practicability
about it to commend it to the public
has ever found Mr.. Rhone luke warm
in its behalf. He has mado it point
all his life to attend public gatherings,
where the welfare of the people was
the matter at issue. For twenty
years he has worked for Mesa county s
upbuilding. Counties are ungrate-
full, let us work new charm and
elect Mr.. Rhone and show that
Mesa county and Grand Junction ap-
preciate the efforts of it's public
men. looking toward its advancement
upon every line.

The Sentinel is very anxious that
every democrat in the county take
the resolution to vote before nine
O'Clock on the day of election. In
some of the country precincts where
there is large registration. it will
require all the day for the vote to be

Republicans Ready to Make Hender-

DUBUQUE, Iowa. Jan. Sit is UNI
derstOOd that an effort will be made
by the republican leaders of the third
district to have Colonel Henderson,
who is spending the holidays in this
city, run for congress two years hence.
The colonel says it is his purpose to
come to Dubuque to reside perma-
nently in the near future, and his in
innate friends here interpret this to
mean that he can be induced to repre-
sent the district in congress again.
He denies the gossip relative to his
United States senatorial aspirations,
to succeed William E. Allison when the
latter steps out, although the fact that
he intends to take up his residence
in Dubuque again lends color to these
rumOrs.
There is not the least doubt Of the
nomination and election of Colonel
Henderson should he again aspire TO
congressional honOrs. as the feeling
that was engendered against him has
