Denham and Way mire could only have been legally elected at .the last election to fill out the unexpired term of their respective districts, where they were serving by appointment, and that said terms have expired or will expire before another election takes place. The republicans have held that Denham and Waymire were elected to fill out the unexpired term of their district and a full term besides. It was also decided that the supreme court decision above referred to practically settled the question of electing a clerk this fall, and that Warner was elected at the right time and that no vacancy existed in this office. \ The men above selected Sh well as all those whoqgrace onr oounty ticket, are of irreproachable character, reliable and well qualified to fill the offices to which they have been nominated.
