Mcdonald for sheriff.

OMAHA, Sept Ito the Editor of The
Bee; John w Mcdonald is a candidate for
the republican nomination of sheTf. He is
of Scottish parentage and has resided in
Omaha since 1870. For many years he was
a boilermaker in the employ of the Union
Pacific Railroad company During the last
fifteen years he has owned and operated
with his brother a brass nr1 iron foundry
and has other mercantile interests here.
In 1895 he was elected sherif of Douglas
county and held the office or four years.
lie refused to be a candidate 'Or sEcrif for
another term and since then has devoted
his energies to his private business.
During his administration as sheriff his
Office ives repeatedly checked 10 by demo-
cratic officials and was finally checked by
an expert for Douglas county and his ac-
counts were all found absolutely correct in
every detail.
During his term Of Office ho paid into she
county treasury about 5000 in cash, aiter
meeting all expenses incidental to the
sheriff's office. Mr.. Mcdonald is tho only
sheriff who ever turned a dollar into the
county treasury as a surplus from the office
CT sheriff
The criminal laws ot the state were
vigorously and conscientiOusly executed
during his incumbency OF the G1lce Of
sheriff.
Mr.. Mcdonald was elected for his second
term OF office by a majority OF over 200
votes, showing his popularity and apprecia-
ton by the voters of Douglas county.
It was only at the earnest solicitation Of
numerous friends throughout Douglas
county that Mr.. Mcdonald finally consented
to be a candidate for the Office os sheriff.
1t Is extremely seldom in political life that
a man OF such recognized integrity, stability
and splendid qualifications can he found
for a public Office. Mr.. Mcdonald made an
ideal sheriff and the people will find in him
an able, energetic and conscientious public
official as sheriff of Douglas county.

sonal friend. That is how a man is gov
erned in seeking an employee for his own
affairs The city, county, state or nation
is the employer and we as individuals COM
posing 1t, should consider ourselves such.
Having therefore stated my belief, l pro-
pose TO support for the efice of county
coroner, w. M Mckay, because, he is
young man of ability and character. He
has the confidence and esteem of all who
come into business or social relations with
him. He has proven himself an honest,
upright, steady republican, loyal to his
party. and we'll deserves the office he is
seeking man digent and conscientious
in business. He should be supported by
all, regardless of party, and especially by
the rank and file of the party with which
he is affiliated.
Allow me also to say a few words re-
garding Charles Leslie. Without doubt
there is no one in Douglas county better
fitted for the Office of county judge
than Charles Leslie. For about six
years he has been the chief clerk to the
county Judge. and such the people should
place him in the chair a well-earned
and much deserved promotion. His tenn
perment education, character and eX-
perience all mark him worthy of the Office
he seeks, and a worthy people will support
q worthy man. c. II. JANSEN.
