until a male encumbent of that Of
fee will be an exception, for exper-

of Delhi. Her nomination called
forth from the Hopkinton Leader, u
we'll known republican paper, the
following we'll merited edorsement:
Miss Elizabeth Burton, who as
pires to be superintendent of schools
OF Delaware county, is the daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. James Burton of
Delhi. She was born in this county
and taught her first terms Of school
here. She afterwards completed the
four years course required at the
State Normal School, graduating
with high honors. She served one
year in the high school at Holstein,
Iowa, then one year in the high
school at Sioux City, and for the
past two years has been teacher in
the high school at Duluth, Mimi !,
one Of the most noted public schools
Of Minnesota. She was compliment
ted at the close of the last year by
unanimous reelection for a third
year. In ability and accomplish
ments Miss Burton is amply quail
fed for the office of superintendent
and many admiring friends at her
Delhi home insist that she will poll
big vote. The Leader is pleased
to print the portrait of this young
lady, who has been accorded the I'M
usual honor in this county Of being
nominated for an important office,
and we join with the rest of the male
persuasion in CALAMITY dofling our

Candidate for recorder is too well
known to need an introduction. He
was born in South Fork township,
January z, 1871, and was the third
white child born in Delaware county.
In 1856 he went to Oberlin, Ohio,
and remained there three years, a
student in the college at that place.

and faithfully during the war of the

The County Ticket.

The democracy Of this county, as
has been its custom for many years,
has again placed before the electors
for their suffrages, candidates, every
one Of whom, if elected, is thorou h.
ly well qualified to perform. faith
fully and impartially every duty re-
quired by the Office for which he is
named. 1t is a good sign of the
times, that all over this country,
North, South. East and West, politi-
cal partnership is rapidly en- the
decline, and electors instead of blind
Iy following the commands of their
party leaders, vote as their interests
and judgment dictate. And the late
legislature of this state, doubtless
recognizing this sign of the times"
and giving heed to it, passed the
law doing away with the circle at
the head of the party tickets, and
requiring the elector to designate
each and every candidate on the
ballot for whom he desires to vote.
The Democrat has repeatedly said
and now reiterates that, county Of
ticers are employees of the people Of
the county, and their duties are to
conduct and perform the business Of
the county, assigned to their respec-
tive Offices, and no man is justified
in claiming that the Office he seeks
or,to which he has been nominated
belongs to him. "The office should
seek the man and not the man the
office" In this county republican
nomination, owing to the large ma
jority Of that party, has heretofore
been deemed equivelant to an cleo
ton, and therefore bitter contest
almost invariably ensues between
the office seekers at the republican
primaries; and the shrewd, wire
puller, who is, perhaps, wholly I'M
qualified for the Office, is, as a rule,
more likely to secure the nomination
than other seekers better qualified
for it, The reverse is true Of the
minority party. A nomination by it
is not sought, and men eminently
competent and because Of their fit
ness for office, are induced to accept
nominations.
Every taxpayer in the county is,
or should be, interested in having
the affairs OF the county honestly,
economically, and capably admins
tered, and should use the same care,
so far as he has the power to do SO,
in selecting public officials, that he
would in his private business. And
we assert that each and every one Of
the democratic nominees for the
county offices, are men whom 10
employer would hesitate to employ,
md are justly deserving of the con-
lidence and support of the voters re-

We regret that we have not been
able to secure pictures of all the
county candidates. Those we have,
and herewith publish, were furnish

bers and acquaintance, needs no

other instance in which
there are two offices of
the same name to be
filled the elector should
vote for two candidates
for such office.

After his return from school he

then engaged in farming. He ser

ever since then been his occupation.
He is the owner Of one of the finest

and impartial and fulfill every duty
imposed upon him to the best of his
ability. The tax payer: are vitality

the board, whe her the taxes shall

of men like Mr.. Harris, no extrava-
giant bills would be allowed or I'M

The nominee for coroner is prac-
ticing physician at Ryan, and has
been a resident of this county since
his early childhood. The Office Of
coroner is an important one, and in
many cases much needless expense
can be saved if the coroner is a man
OF practical business principles, and
honesty. DIR. Donnelly is a good
business man, thoroughly reliable,
ranks well in his profession and is
eminently qualified to do every duty
that as coroner he would be called
upon to perform.
