prOprfate that something should be
said on the subject Of the several can
didates for the various Offices
You are more directly interested in
the selection Of county officers, and
doubtless desire TO inform yourselves

one; and that they are men well
qualified for Office and citizens whose
character is above reprOach-

signatiOn Of ''ParsOn" Stewart, and to
some extent placed to a disadvantage

great advantage in this campaign
comes from the fact that he is the
only candidate for representative in
this county that has come out square
tOed for the people, and not for the
railroads He is the farmers Candi-
date and not the property Of any rail-
road or political ring seeking for spe-
cial fayOrs- Jones is the freemen'S
free candidate and not the corpora
tons slave. Mr.. Jones resides near
KanOrado and is both a man Of good
ability and an excellent citizen. He
deserves your earnest and enthusiast
ic support, and later on a personal
sketch will be published concerning
