A LIST OF CANDIDATES.
VYhMe Name "Will probably Appear
Before the BepaMleaa Cea
veatlea for the Tart-
OHees.
Tue Chief reporters have managed
to pick up the following names of
prominent centlemen of Webster
county, who have been mentioned for
the various offices in the gift of the
people. First among the list we will
mention the name of
HEXRV SCOTT
who is well known in Webster county
and who has filled the office of sheriff
with credit to himself and honor to
the county. In fact Henry Scott is
one of the best sheriffs the county
has ever had. a perfect gentleman and
a man whose position does sot make
him feel above the common people.
No one can say naught of him, ex
cept it be that he is always true to a
friend, has a heart in him as big as a
barrel, and yet, a man who no one
can use for mercenary purposes. He
will no doubt receive the nomination
for another term.
D. G. GR1CE
of Batiu township is also a candidate
for the office of sheriff. Mr. Grice
is an old citizen of Webster county,
and if he should receive the nomina
tion would no doubt make a good
ofitcer. 31r. G. will have strong back
ing frem his township in the county
convention.
Several other candidates have been
mentioned for sheriff but we do not
know as to the truth of the assertion.
FOR COUSTT TREASURER,
. We have heard the names of several
prominent men of Webster county,
any one of whom would make good
officers, we presume.
C. B. CROKI,
who has held the position of deputy
treasurer for the last four years is a
mnn of good ability, and a gentleman
who would manage the responsible
tffice of treasurer with an eye to the
best interests of the county. He is
a good accountant and is in every way
qualified to hold the office of treasurer.
Mr. C. his strong backing and will
go into the convention well represent
ed.
GEO. W. I1CMMEL
of Line township has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the office
of county treasurer. Sir. Hummel is
ar.n of the nioneers of Webster
county having settled here when there
was still doubt in the minds of the
people in regard tothe soil being able
to produce anything. 3Ir. H. is well
qualified to fill the office although he
has lived on a farm all his life, or
nearlv so. He is a good man and
would be a creditable officer to the
couuty.
E. H. JOKES
of Inavale is also talked of as a can
didate for the offiee of treasurer. He
would make a good officer. We hare
also heard the name of
A. L. FCNK
mentioned as a probable candidate
for the office of treasurer. 3Ir. Funk
is well known in Bed Cloud and if
he is a candidate he will go into the
convention with good backing.
It is also rumored that Col. Hoov
er, Thad. Arnold and I. B. Hampton
are candidates for the treasury.
FOR COUSTT StTPIRINTTCSDEXT.
Miss Eva J. King will be her own
successor, as it is generally conceed
ed that she has been the best county
superintendent that Webster county
has ever had. She is a lady of good
education and has brought the schools
up to a higher standard than they
have ever been known to have before.
She will be nominated and electc u
without any opposition.
FOR COtSTV CLBRK.
There are four candidates as far as
heard from. We shall first mention
the name of
4. 11. UAILET
who has manipulated the county
clerk's office for the last four years
with ability, has made one of the
best clerks the county has ever had.
Mr. B. is a thorough scholar and
fally understands the arduous titties
of the office over which he has presi
ded fonr years. Mr. Bailey is also as
old settler having lived in ths sectioa
ever since the comnty was organized.
His owa township (Gside Beck) will
be s.lid for him and besides he will
go into the convention with very
strong backing. Mr. Bailej deserves
another term saw ha entered the nee
with the deeamation of "getting
there"
H. S. POND
' who ha beew Ae faithfal depatj in
the county clerk's office for four years
is also a candidate fo clerk. Harry
was an old soldier and served tnrough
the late war with honor, and is now
a candidate fer the support of the
people for the county clerk's office.
He is an honorable man, and has the
ability to fill the office in good shape.
He will also be strongly backed by
his friends.
H. D. BASSE Y
of Blue Hill is also a candidate for
clerk. 3Ir. B. is wsll known in the
north part of the county as a man of
good ability and well qualified to fill
ine omce oi cierK. Avr. itanney re
ceived the nomination for register of
deeds four years ago and was elected,
but the supreme court decided that
the law was void as far as the county
was concerned and so he was cheated
out of it. He expects to conie into
the contention with strong basking.
JOSEPH C.AUAER
who is well known in this county is
also a candidate for county clerk.
Joe has a good many friends in the
county and we presume he will come
lLto the conventiou with ?
strons
delegation ready to battle for him
FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
There are'four candidates as far as
heard from, any one of whom could
fill that office creditably to himself
and the people generally.
D. F. TRUNKEY
who has been in this county for sev
eral years is a candidate for county
judge. Mr. Trunkey is well qualified
to fill the office in every way and will
come into the convention strongly
endorsed by his friends
DR. C. SCHENCK
who has served te county several
years as coroner is alsi a candidate
The doctor is a good scholar and u
man whom thepeople could feel proud
of as county judge. He was an old
soldier and fought nobly for his
cDuntry. The doctor will le backed
by many friends.
SAMUEL WEST
who has lived in Bed Cloud for many
years and has always been a good
citizen is also a candidate for judge,
Mr. West is well qualified
for the office of county judge should
he receive the nomination and elect
ion would make an able officer.
GEO. W. BARKER
one of our rising attorneys is also
mentioned as a candidate for county
judge.
George would
make a good
officer if elected and we have no doubt
will enter the convention with a good
substantial backing.
FOR CORONER.
We have heard the name of I. B.
Stanser of Garfield township mention
ed. 3Ir. Stanser would make a good
officer and The Chief would like to
see him nominated and elected to

for public favor we shall mention
