A long pull and a pull togather
by the republicans of this county
will give the pops one of the biggest
surprises they have met with for
many years. It will elect the en
tire republican ticket.
County Clerk, G. H. Gibson
Bhould be re-elected because be has
made a good officer. He is always
found on duty and ready to attend
to any business connected with hiB
office. A vote for Gibson is a vote
for a good officer.
It begins to look very much like
County Judge Starr after election.
Mr. Starr is becoming very popular
with the people and many of the
populist anti-third termers are al
ready talking Starr. His vote will
be surprisingly large.
Vote for Henning Clausen for
county assessor. Mr. Clausen is
very popular with the people of bis
own township, has been assessor of
Washington twp. for four years
and has given the best of satisfact
ion. He will make a good officer.
L. A. Williams is meeting with
success in his canvass for sheriff.
His election is almost assured.
Most evei y one we meet speaks of
him as a first class fellow. Mr.
Williams will poll a very heavy vote.
Below we give a short sketch of bis
life:
L. A. Williams was born in ill.,
and while very young, moved with
bis parents to Wis. where he lived
until he entered the army in 1861.
He enlisted in the 7th. Wisconsin
Regiment and was a member of the
famous “Iron Brigade.” Having
been honorably discharged, he re-en
listed in the 43rd. Wis., as a private,
from which he was discharged in
1865 as a Lieutenant. He was in
active service in the battles of An
tietam, Gainesville, 2nd. Bull Run,
South Mt., and others. After hav
ing been discharged, he was married
in 1869, and resided in Wis. until
1885, at which time he moved with
bis family to Loup City, Neb. Hav
ing resided in that place for one
year, he was appointed marshal, and
held the office four years from 1886
to '90, during which time the B.&M
R. R. was constructed. After a
residence of nearly 14 years in Loup
City, he located on a farm near Ash
ton, where he now resides. He has
always been a stanch republican, bis
father having been ostracized in N.
Carolina, because of bis abolition
ist principles.
1 be question of the comparative
fitness of Mr. Hand and Mr. Hostet
ler has been seriously considered by
The Democrat, and we unequivocally
assert that our conclusions are that
Mr. Hostetler should be elected
judge of the Twelfth judicial district
and we do not doubt be will be—
Keainey Democrat.
It is quite evident from this that
Mr. Hand does not stand well with
his people at home. Mr. Hand is a
demo populist candidate and the
fact that bis own party paper in his
own town where he is tost
known refuses td endorse him is
good reason why the voters all over
the district should not support him
Mr. Hostetler is also a resident of
Kearney and is not only highly
spoken of by the republican press of
his own town but has the able sup
port of many who, like the Demo
crat, believe him to be by far the
best man for the position.
O. W. Holmes, the republican can
didate for county treasurer is a man
worthy the support of every man
who wishes to see our offices filled
with the best material it is possible
for a party to nominate. In Mr.
Holmes we have that kind of ma
terial. He is an old settler and a
prosperous farmer of Bristol town
ship and all who know him speak
in terms of praise of his special fit
ness for the position for which he
has been nominated. By reason of
bis good edncation and ability Mr.
Holmes has several time been spok
en of in former years as a candidate
for county superintendent. Vote
for Mr. Holmes for county treasurer.

The socialism of Sherman count]
held their conventi >n at Ashton and
I notniuated the following county tick
|et: For County Judge, John F.
Smith of Ashton; forSberitf. \V. K.
Ladegard of Litchfield; for Treaa.,
Fred Kien of Ashton; for Co. Assess
or, J. YV. Heapy of Litchfield; for
Co. Clerk, Andrew Gartka of Ash
ton. The offices of county school
supt., county surveyor and coroner
were left vacant to be filled by
au thorized committee of convention
to be filled latter on.
The following opinion from tne
supreme court tells how the county
board should let bridge contracts.
We re produce it because of its
interest to the public and of the
information it furnished to county
boards. In this county it has
always been the rule to advestise
for plans and specifications along
with the bids, but from the fol
lowing you will notice that the
higher authorities hold that the
board must adopt plans and specifi
cation before advertising for bids.
Following is taken from the State
Journal: ‘-Bridge contractor Charles
G. Seeley is torecieve full pay for the
bridge work involved in the injunct
ion suit brought several months ago
by William M. Clark and the county
commissoniers come in for setting
right in the matter of letting bridge
contracts. The supreme court gave
a decision yesterday allowing Slice
ley pay in full for the labor and
material furnished through the con
tract under which he worked is ueld
void. The court takes time to tell
the countv commissioners just what
they can do and what they cannot do
in the matter of contracts. The con
tentions of County Attorney Cald
well regarding bridge contracts are
almost wboley sustained but the
court states that Sheelev performed
the labor and he should be paid for
it.
The plantiu complained that the
contract whb let arbitrarily arid not to
the lowest and best bider. The
court holds that the board has no
power to contract for bridge build
ing to cost tbe sum not greater than
the amount of money on hand in
the county bridge fund. The board
in this case bad ordered $1,000
transferred from one fund to the
other to pay the claims of Sheeley.
the court also holds that the boaid
must adopt plans and specifications
for bridges before advertising for
bridges. It has been customary tc
permit bidders to make their own
plans, each contractor bidding on
bis own plans. The court goes fur
ther and says the board cannot let
annual contracts for repairing of
bridges or for the doiDg of such
work under an annual contract where
the amount exceeds $100. This de
cision will be received by county
boards with considerable interest as
it defines their powers in bridge
matters.”
