A few days ago Dr. Holladay took us in his buggy behind his fast team and gave us a most pleasant ride into the country.

Mr. Stull, the nominee forjudge, is a lawyer of this city, of acknowledged legal ability not only at home but throughout the State. He possesses stability and decision of character, in tegrity and firmness, honor and abil ity, which eminently qualify him for the position for which he has been nominated. He is a gentleman who attends promptly, studiously, and in dustriously to his business. Although not a member of any temperance or ganization is, at least by his example, a temperance man. Judge Stull two consective years was elected Police Judge of the city, and is at this time Mayor of this city, honored as such by the vote3 of the people. A more fitting selection for the orBceof Coun ty Judge could not have been made, I nnd those wiio appreciate the necessity of having an able man to fill that re sponsible office, will, irrespective of i party, give him their votes. Mr. Majors, the candidate for Clerk, is the present incumbent. The peo ple know him well and appreciate his business qualifications, his prompt ness, industry and efficiency in dis charging the arduous and responsible duties of the office. And we may mention as not least among bis qual ifications for clerk, his always pleas ant demeanor and accommodating ' disposition. He is never too tired nor i j harrassed by perplexing business to I greet all with a pleasant word, and to accommodate them with any infor mation he is able to give. The peo ple respect such a man, they admire such an officer and will without doubt triumphantly re-elect him. -vr- n;i,..,- n,r,;n r.T.. I ' uct 13 " "c H'cui, luvuiuireui ui that otnee. lie, too, is so well Known that it may teem superflous forua to say a word in his favor. A pleasant, i quiet, unobtrusive gentleman, al ways at his post, naturally fitteM so cially to serve in such a capacity to do business with and for the people- the very soul of honor, he has the universal esteem and confidence of everybody We have had much ex perience in county offices and can say to the people from personal knowl- edge that a more careful, accurate and emcienc county ireasurer we never saw. The people are careful to select m honest men to take charge of their j money. - They were not mistaken ' when they chose Mr. Gilmore, and before they disoharge him from the Treasury office, they should know well into whose hands the responsi ble trust is to fall. Appreciating these truths, and that the present Treasurer is all that could be desired as a good ! i and true officer, he will ogsin be ir- dorsed by the voters of Nemahs bv I an overwhelming majority. I R. V. Black, the nominee for Sh?r- iff. is a well-to-do farmer 3nd blaek- for the week'mi:no1 J-aiayette precinct. He en tered the Union army in Illinois at the beginning of the rebellion, as private soldier, and before the expir ation of his three years term of ser vice was promoted to the captaincy of I his company as a token of tbe respect of his comrades for gallant and sol dierly conduct. He has been a resi dent oFthis county for twelve or fif teen yean?, isiighly esteemed by his neighbors and will receive the vote of his precinct nearly unanimously. onnn;r. tii.i- :..rr:,i-,l 7.u;75 ' ." "" "- During his long residence in thecoun- tr- ha Han t ..-. fo. n t. rl ,- ty he has never asked for and would I never accept an office. This year the J people who were acquainted with his sterling character and peculiar fitnes for the office of Sheriff, have brought him out, nominated him, and mean to make him the next Sheriff of Ne maha county. John H. Shook, of Aspinwall pre oinct was nominated for re-election to the Ottice or County commissioner. I We believe he had no opposition in j the convention. His nomination was i demanded by the tax-payers of the county : for he has made them a most ffaitbfuIbJe and boQe3t ffi ia, . , . . .. A man of unswerving integrity is Mr. Shook, with excellent judgment and business qualifications, understand ing the interests of the county, it wouId fae exceedingly unw,se to not re-elect him. Mr. Shook has on var- ious occasions given evidence of his firmness in doing right, aud fairly representing the wishes or his con stituents, and whilst he has some bit- ter enemies, they are very unreason ing ones, and he will no doubt receive tnecoraiai lnuorsementof a largema-isome j jority of the voters of the county. Philip Crother, the nominee forjwayt he has some of tbe beat furni Superintendent of schools, is a reai- ture, of every variety. Hannaford dent of Nemaha City. He is at this says he is getting ready for the 4,good time, as he has been for a number of time coming;" and the interesting years, teacher of the schools of that j p2rt of it is, he sells rizht down at Place Mr. Crother is a scholar, a student, an industrious steady young man of small family, and should re ceive tbe cordial support of the peo ple. He is highly esteemed by his neighbors and acquaintances, and tbe people of the precinct, and will re- eeive nearly the solid vote of the pre cinct. Mr. Parker, for Coroner, we are personally acquainted with, but learn that he is a steady, industrious, popular young man of Lafayette, ag-tinst whom no objections can be urged, and of course he will receive tbe united support of the party. James M. Hacker was again nomi nated for Surveyor. The people seem determined to keep him in that posi tion, and they could not do better and perhaps not nearly so well by electing any one else Jim is a "born survey- WAGONS!

Why does not the Sheridan fellow low tell just what we said? Whynot copy our article like one desirous of telling the whole truth, and then an swer as he thinks fit? The reason is I plain why he does not do this he t and falsify, and make us appear to have said precisely bat we did not aay. "Call the farmers stupid idi ots?" Now that is a barefaced lie, willfully and maliciously promulga ted, to injure us with those who read the Herald but do not read our paper. Ourcomments alluded to "the author" of the Sheridan article, particularly and especially, and no honest or log 's ical conclusion could make anythin else out of it. And no one, who has any honor or fairness about him, or who cares a snap for trutb'and man ly principle, would stoop to do so. Now we will tell this sheridan i scribbler that we meant Aim, and a ilk in SIteridan, and no one w Qf j else.

And we ap- I pointed the centra! committeemeeting i to be there ourself, and voted in the committees to hold the conventions there ; and this jear, we advised and j favored the calling of the convention at Sheridan.
