/ him as one of their own men,
l And now that he Is before the peo-
pie as candidate for the Republican
nomination to the office of Governor,
Orange county people are taking a
lively interest ID mis-, candidacy, in the
belief that after the lapse of nearly
| forty years this county stands more
THAN ever an even chance of being
lagain honored by the nomination and
election OF one Of her men to this high
effice.
/ Until Gov. Farnham was elected in
1880, Orange county had never fur
nlshed governor of this state, we
] believe. Since that date, she has fail
i ed TO connect with the executive Office
Though during this ferty-year peri
I ID she has managed to furnish a u.
Il 5. senator for about half the time,
Il u. s. marshal and a collector of Gus
toms, in the federal line, and by way
Of state officers has supplied two
II Judges of the supreme court, superb
or judge, 2 acknowledgement, 3
Estate treasurer, q speaker of the
House, an adjutant general or two,
and a fair allotment of commission
ersr OF various kinds and sizes, and
of Peaceful and well-meaning "Col-
6neis,. kept and used as such during
VARIOUS administrations. So the eoun-
y. cannot well complain of having
been ignored in the matter of the dis
Itribution sof offices.
r. For the generous support which the
people OF the state have always given
TO Orange county candidates, she Is
duly grRteful
She now IN cooperation with one of
her thriving daughters
county-deSires to present the name
of Curtis s. Emery to the voters as a
Republican candidate for governor. We
| characterize Orleans as q daughter"
of Orange-because originally Orange
county ran clear TO Canada line, and
L included what Is ROW in the county
1 of Orleans as well as the intervening
territory the east side OF the state.
So we cannot be blamed If we enter
tain. a kindly regard for candidates
from these northern counties that
fare thus historically linked with old
II Orange, @but which set up housekeep-
ling on their own hook more than q
century ago.
After all, it makes but little differ.

And aside from any sentimental

tial grounds for supporting Mr..
Emery's candidacy-we know the

where he spent the greater part of
his life. Chelsea was the scene of his
