crmiug flection the voter is respectful refer ed to those on tin democratic ticket and if the fitness for nosition honostv audi At the head of the ticket is the name jf Wiiliam A Metzjjar and we place should be a man of ability Mr Metzgar did not run after the nomina tion it came to him by virtue of his friends not his own exertions He does not seek the office for lhe money there is in it theiefore he will not be tempted to indulge in dishonest prac tices for private gain he is a stock raiser m business hence will be in smpathy with the best interests of the count he is a heavy taxpayer so will seek to keep down the expenses ot the count he comes from a section of the county which is too often ig nored the southwest a section which has no other candidate When Gen Elliott leaves the clerks office Cherry county will lose a good olficial see to it that she does not retrograde biit ad vances by voting for Metzgar Lf there is one office in the county which more than auy other needs a good clean honest business man it is the office of treasurer For this place the democrats have a man who an- awers eveiy requirement and that man is W G Ballard of Dewey Lae pre cinct Mr Ballard is not a stranger to Cherry county or her people being one of the countys oldest lesidents and has grown with the county until now he is one of our most prominent and prosperous stockmen Who is there in the county uhr has not at one time or another heard of Bill Ballard The name is a synonym for honesty integrity firmness and good business management and without these quali ties no man is a good tieasurer We ask ycur support and vote for Mr Ballard not on account of sectional prejudice not alone on account of party but because he is a man of the people in sympathy with the best in terests of the county and is the best man for the office He is before the people as the unanimous choice of his party not as a compromise candidate Treasurer Crabb has filled his office in a vary acceptable manner tor the last four years and if elected we promise the people as satisfactory an adminis tration from Treasurer Ballard For sheriff the democrats olfer the name ot James A Childers of Cody Boiling Springs precinct A thorough democrat a gentleman full of pluck uge usen uo suuerae or posroince and eergy an uncompromising foe of bankc is the greatest nd most impor 1 evil doers vet gentle

county of now he is one of our most substantial tion The success of the postofiice wnich be has been a resident for the banks has been of the most complete kind Again we wish to call attention to our society for homeless children Our local board meets once every raonth that it may be ready for any work in its line If any one knowing of children in need of homes or of a good Christian family wiilling to provide a home for one of the society children will kindly write us we will bo pleased to offer our services We quote the following from our Society manual To seek homeless neglected and destitute children and became their friend and protector To find homes for them in intelligent Christian familes piace them there wisely with the least possible delay To supervise each placement with discretion so as to guard against abuse or neglect To replace when necessary in a new home Cojftrrrrni last thirteen years a stock buyer iu business a better man for cur next sheriff could not bt found We have nothing to say against the administra tion of Sheriff Strong He is a repub lican and a candidate for re election but if our people desire a change in the office they can do no better than to vote for Childers To the best of our knowledge Jim hasnt an enemy iu the county Sober honest and in dustrious he makes a friend of every one who meets him When vou go in- a O to the voting 1ooth on election day place an X after the name of James A Childers for sheriff It is with positive pleasure that we this week put the name of Miss Lillian U Stoner on the demoer itic ticket as a candidate for the office of county superintendent Miss Stoner is the present county superintendent of this county and her administration of the oihee for the last four years has been such as to leave little room for Tr 3EM0CRAT VALENTINE CHEERY CO NEBRASKA THURSDAY OCTOBER 1 4 1897 cistn She va first nominated by the pqpulists and her endorsement by the democrats is but a fining tribute to her ability During her two tprms of office she has placed the schools of the county upon a higher basis than they ever before occupied and has made tr n the pride of every friend of edn cition Tnat her

friends in the performance of his duties Upright and conscien tious knowing neither friend nor foe when silting as judge his decisions have always been promptly and im partially given He has been a terror to evil doers Out the innocent need not tear him In recognition of his ability the populisc county central committee has endorsed his candidacy and his name will appear on the ballot as their nominee as well as ours A vote for Towne is a vote for justice Dr J CJwytr is the democratic nominee for coroner and is endorsed ako by the populists This office is usually regarded as one of little irn portance -but it sometimes happens that the position is one of great mo ment and it is well that at such time a good man is installed therein The coroner in certain cases exorcises the power of a sheriff and when a death occurs under suspicious circumstances it is his duty to clear away the mys tery Dr Dwyer stands high in his pfoFpaii arid is needed in the coroners office For surveyor the democrats have en dorsed Joseph Estabrook of Lavaca who was nominated by the populists Mr Estabrook is no neophyte in the use of the compass chain avid level and though a stranger to us has been a resident of the county for some time We have no hesitancy in asking your vole and influence for his election When Max Viertel bids adieu to the board of county commissioners Cheiry count will lose a capable official one who can be replaced by but one man now in the field John A Adamson People have a habit of looking upon the office of commissioner as one of but little importance but it is a seri ous mistake to do so True the posi tion is one little to be desired but to thp people it is of vast importance It is the commissioners who make the contracts for the county and it is they who pass upon all bills against the county Here is where a business man is needed and it is an old axiom that he who has made a success of his own affairs will make a success of the af fairs of the county John Adamson is such a man Twelve year3 ago he located on the Xiobrara in what is now German piecinct with practically nothing By hard work and honest dealing he has built himself up until citizens Well liked by his neighbors honored by his friends and respected by all with whom he has had dealings he is the very man wanted for commis sioner Vote for him work for him elect him and you will never regret it Voters the foregoing are our candi dates Have you better The words spoken of each are not woHs of flat tery nor words intended to deceive they are words of praise honestly and justly deserved If you doubt them inquire of those who are most inti mately acquainted with them theyi will all stand the closest scrutiny On election day mark your ballot with a X under the rooster bird and
