II. D. Weyqint.

Tilden Citizen, oct 13; For twelve
years Bill Bates has been county
Judge, elected every biennial by the
help of republicans who thought more
of his fitness than party fealty He
now retires voluntarily. If he had
said the word he would probably have
been continued in office until Henry
Aliens railroad from Madison to Clos
ter was in working order. Judge
Bates is a hard man to supersede but
the republicans have selected II. d.
Weygint of Meadow Grove, to tackle
the job. For the past twenty-five
years Dave" has been one of the
most tireless workers in the republi-
can ranks, but always for the other
fellow. He has bushel of common
sense, upon which all our statutes.
including probate law are founded.
His integrity has never been ques.
toned; he is possessed of good judg-
ment and has an extended knowledge
of humanity. The republicans of
Madison are sufficiently numerous to
elect him, and the Citizen believes
that a good majority for him will
never be cause for regret.

Chance to Win.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Cub supporters
profess to see a good omen in the
