COUNTY TREASURER FOR TAX-ASSESS0R.

Elsewhere in this weeks Echo will
be found the formal announcement OF
Hon. Alcfde Moran as a candidate for
the Office of assessor for Hancock
county, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary.
Mr.. Moran is at present the county
treasurer, and must, since he cannot
succeed himself, necessarily aspire to
some other office, should he desire to re-
main in the service of the county; hence
his ambition to serve the people OF
Hancock in the capacity as announced
hereinabove.
Mr.. Moran has served the people
faithfully and we'll in the Office of treas
urer. He is man of exemplary and
correct methods, well and popularity
known over the county, and, should he
be reelected, it will be not only as an
ordinary reward for faithful services,
but as an Individual compensation as
we'll; for it is well known the people
of Hancock county are not slow to rec
ognize faithful and efficient service. He
appeals to the people through no fac
tional feelings or prejudices, but upon
his public and personal record as well.
His friends had been urging his candi-
dacy for the assessors Office quite a
while back, but, unwilling to precipitate
a long campaign and wishing to feel the
public pulse fully and well, he decided
to wait awhile and abide by the wishes
of those he came in contact with. Ac-
cordingly, he recently left for tour of
a part of the county. Returning this
week, he felt satisfied that it would be
we'll to enter the race and try conclu-
sions with the other gentlemen who
have announced for the same office,
and he feels confident of his success.
He intends to prosecute a vigorous and
thorough campaign, and the voters he
will not see now he will interview later,
asking, in the meantime, his friends to
promise their vote to no one until he
will have seen them in person and pre-
sented his claims. He is solicitous of
the vote of every man that can reason
ably be expected to vote for him.
The Echo has known Mr.. Moran for
quite long while and as one of the best
citizens and a man who has ever been
found true to his friends and honest to
himself. He is not a professional poll
tician, neither is he a chronic office
seeker, but man of the people whom
it is we'll to encourage in his quest;
and, while he has. held Office one term,
it is no argument against him, but, on
the contrary, one term deserves another,
at least after the first one. In private
life, in commercial pursuit and public
off,, We have known him to be the
same always, s'true blue" and sterling
in qualities. He is of the yeomanry
that one loves to think about; sturdy
and reliable; just the man one would
hit upon when searching for the ideal
material to put forth for the public's
acceptance and appreciation at the polls.
Should he be elected, as the public
would see fit, we feel there will be no
cause for regret; but, on the contrary,
Mr.. Moran will give an administration
of that particular Office in manner
that would leave nothing to be desired.
He is conscientious, painstaking and
= three qualities that cannot
be lost sight of, but that stand out
prominently and in bold relief and at
tract the attention of the suffragans.
In conclusion, we commend his candi-
dacy to the earnest and sincere consid-
Grafton of the voters.
