Bauch is uot only an otliciout man from a clerical standpoint but ho is a man posscssod of a largo amount of common sousa an essential lequisitot r u county clerk Ho is an old resident of the county and mauy of those who xvero hero with him in au early day sharing with him tho trials aud tnbula 1 tious of life on tho frontier will givo him their votes ou election day w ithout stopping to ask tho complexion of his politics And whoa elected he will mako ono of tho best county cleiks Mad ison county ever had aud that oillce has for many years been iu tho best of bauds It is reported that thero aro candidates iu tho county who aro attempting to tvado tho provisions of tho uew law pro hibiting the use of niouey for election eering purposes by loauiug small sums to workers with theiuteution of forget tiug the names of tho borrowers This class of candidates is being closely xvatobed aud if they succeed to aa elec tiou through tho use of money in any form or under any pretext whatever their offices will bo contested before they cau take charge of the game The new law Is just as fair for 0110 side as for tho othnr and if any cnmlhlnto attempts to take advantage of tho Hltuatioa ho will probably succeed ia losing KlHoMeoovon though he Is able to buy too most votes O hris Sohuvliind has liaulo ono of tho lxst lecoids ever made by u clerk of tho district court la this state His books are absolutely correct he isalwayfl on duty mid ho Is pleasant and obliging to tho m who have business with his allien By re electing hlni to the posi tion ia whioh ho has served ho well dur ing the past four years tho county known that it will have a good olllcer for tho coining term while if a new man is elected chances aro being taken with no prospect of having a better olllcer at best The

correctly Thi Sioux Olty louraal has iniprovod wonderfully within tho last few mouths The amount of matter has been in creased the paper used is of a better quality the mechanical and piess wink have been iniprovod and itsnows service which has always been of tho best Is coasideiably bettor If that is possible Not only Is this aoticeablo ia tho lour aal but It gives indisputable ovidonco that it is appieoiated as its columns are well lllled with good live neat at tractive buslaoss llko advoitiBonionts of tho nietchants of that city who can evi dently distinguish a live udvoi Using medium from a fence board A paper may bo willing and ready to furnish tho best and most readable matter possible but it takes such substantial oacourug niont as tho louraal is receiving to prompt the publisher to persist ia his ell arts It sounds strange to read democratic piaiso of Devvoy in one column and in tho next an elloit made to cast disci edit on the glorious viotoiy ho attained How is it possible How in the name of the lihetty tho justice mid tho fioe dom they claim to ospouso can they honor a mini as a hero who not only Failed in and plaved havoc with the capital city of tho Philippines but took possession and oponed tho way lor tho army to complete his victory It would seem that tho horo theso people would delight to honor should bo a man who would wade in and give a pooplo an ovoilnsting drubbing mid then retire and allow his onoinioH or other foreign pooples to reap the fruits of his victory Tins would bo justice This is tho way Hryau mid his cohorts desire thoir sol diers to tight Thoy would go on mid drive a man off his property and thon surrender it to tho lirst follow who wanted it This is human nature in a pig s oyo The fusion press would like to cast Chaplain Mailloy into disrespect because he has the coinage of his convictions and believes in speaking out in meeting despite thoir gibes and taunts It is exceedingly btuingo that ono member of a roginiont can bo a hero nndunothor not simply because ho stands by las guns at home as well as abroad Tho question is do those papois really be lieve that tho Fighting First would would have made tho record thoy did mid covored thoinsolves with glory while lighting for a ciuso thoy doomed uujust Impossible To mako a tighter a soldior must believe in tho justico of his cause aud country aud ishmout of his ouennes Othenvit o tho authority of olllcors and rigid discipline would not prevent mutiny or at least libtlcsuioBS on their part The fact that thoro was none of this goos to provo that at least tho vigorous

for county troasuror is a farmer of Kmerick product fully capable of taking core of tho dutios of tho ollico for which ho is eandiduto He is well educated es especially nlong commorcinl lino and the success he has made at farming shows that ho is a careful llgurer In busi ness transactions Ho is a nativo Now Yorker ha ing beou born iu Wyoming county whoro ho grow to manhood Ho passed through tho

ho has accumulated cousiderablo proporty It is seldom that a caudidato ha the heuity support of so many of his neighbors as Mr Miles is having during this campaign which certainly means that those who know him best mid uro best qualified to judge of his fitness for the position beliovo that tho republican party made no mis take iu nominating him as its candidate for tho olllce of county treasurer The only publio position that ho has ever hold was that of supervisor from Km erick preciuct when Madisou county was under township organization iu which capacity he served his constituents faithfully

ngoooing that no nuiu should have a life lease of any position within tho gift of tho pooplo Tho better plan witn places oi puniic trust is to pass them around It is very seldom that a republican asks for n nomination more than twice and whon ho does ho gener ally tails of election but when a man comes boforo tho people asking for their votes on tho fifth nomination it would scom that tho limit had been reached especially when n new man equally as well qualifiod to fill the place is his op ponent No ono doubts that Samuel L Gardner is fully conipotont to preform tho duties devolving upon the
