Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1884 — A Candidate for State Auditor. [ARTICLE]

A Candidate for State Auditor.

The Republican has good authority for saying that Mr. Critr A# Cox, of New Albany, at present a conductor on the L. N.-jA & C. road, and well and favorably known to many residents of J asper [county, is a candidate for the republican nomination for state auditor. EvClybody who is at all acquainted with Mr. Cox, knows him to be a very genial and pleasant gentleman, and all who know him well are willing to voitdr that lie is an honorable, high minded man, of un blemished personal character During the war he served for a time as a private soldier in the 35th Ohio infantry and the rest of iho time as a seaman on the U._ S. war steamer Peosta. He'is now, and always has been, an unwavering republican. He has followed the, business of rail-reading, in state, for nearly sixteen years, in various capacities, and is very popular with his brethren, the railroad employes of the state. “Railroad boys”, by which we mean the employes of the rail••■ds, ns distinguished from the officers, have a very strong fraternal feeling among themselves and .should Mr. Cox be nominated, would, we are convinced, give him an enthusiastic support, irrespective of theinjioliticid opinions. The idea of Mr. Cox’s candidacy strikes us very favorably. find should he obtain the nomination we shall make a drew application of the of the slang phrase “Bully for Cox,” with a good deal of pleasure._ -=.
