Rensselaer Republican, Volume 13, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1880 — Our County Ticket. [ARTICLE]

Our County Ticket.

The time is close at when we must decide as to our choice of candidates for the different offices to be filled. In the case of State and National tickets we believe every republican is determined to vote anunscratched ticket, we believe that republicans and intelligent voters every 1 where realise deeply the necessity of standing firm against the willy

pretentious encroachments of the democracy, and will wisely choose on the day of election, Garfield and I the repubhen ticket National and Sate, but we know from past observation, the magnanimous spirit that actuates republicans at the time of voting as in other things We know that from the promptings of friendship or considerations of locality they sometimes scratch tMir ticket when .voting for local o«ccrs and instead of* choosing their own candidate vote for the

opposition. Now this migtii do well enough la extreme case#, tat we ire eertsin that sash extreme ease* are rerjr few. We are irate opinion that republicans seldom fall to nominate men to loeal oflnee who are as well known for honesty, and capability as the beet men democracy produces for the highest ofßees. Snch men we are proud to say compose the republican ticket ot Jasper comity in Ute present campaign. and we believe them entitled to the support of every man who desires the upright management of county affairs. There ie not a candidate on the ticket whom evert voter cannot support and feel that be has done what he onght.
