OUR NEW CANDIDATES.

The Republican candidate for prosecuting attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, nominated at Goodland, last Tuesday, i 3 Capt, Ralph W. Marshall, the present incumbent. As to his availibility as a -eanclidaje, The JReppblican needs to say UP more than to refer its readers to the many “hearty commendations of his official course, lately given him by the Republican and Independent press of tbe circuit, many of which were republished in this paper; and to ada that we believe that in this respect the newspapers only gave voice to the overwbelmning sentiment nf the people of the circuit. Politically, Mr. Marshall is a true and most zealous Republican and we believe will always be found ready to do share for the success of the party. Mr. John TV Johnson, the Republican candidate for Representative, is one of Newton county’s best known and most honored citizens. ? He is a farmer, by vocation, but has seen much of public life, and knows the wants of the people, of all classes. He is considerably past tbe middle point of life, but is still hale and vigorous. He is well read and possessed of far mor 04k an an ordinary share of brains and intelligence. Personally he is one of the most pleasant and genial of men. His name on the ticket will be a source of strength, in the campaign and when elected, as he of course will be, he will be an able and zealous legislator.
