The ticket placed before tho people In this county by tho Ro, ubliean party this fall is one which every itizen must ad mit is composed of men in ovory way fitted for the otlices for which they have been nominated, and are deserving of the loyal support of their party in every sec tion. FOR ASSOCIATE JVPOK, the party has R. B. Crawford, and so uni versally popular has this selection proven that the opposito parties havo evidently not considered it worth while to put up a candidate against him, for he has no op position. This is quite complimentary to Bruce, but it is by no means unde served, tor his friends are legion and bis incumbency of tho honorablo position to which ho will bo elected will be a credit to himself as weil as to tho county. Be sides, his election will bo a substantial recognition of an old soldier, whose war record is as cr.iditable to hint as his civil lile anions us has been honorable, FOR TROTUOSOTABY, John II. Robertson was re-nominated without opposition, a compliment to his fitness for the place and his good official record thut carries its own comment. Tho county has never had a more compe tent, pains taking or obliging Prothono tary than Mr. Robertson, which Is saying a jreat deal, for we have had none but good officials in that ofiice for many years past. Tho records under his charge have been adm ntbly Kept, and it has been a pleasure to transact business at that of fice, where all are treated with most uni form courtesy. Mr. Robertson's Repub licanism is of the right stripe and he is atways found in the harness when want ed. A vote for him is a vote to retain a most competent official in one of tho most important offices in the county, and that's w hat the people want, regardless of partisan feelings. FOR SHERIFF, The party has placed in nomination a most worthy and deserving candidate, Join-. W. Jamicson. There is not a man in Forest county who knows him but that will readily concede that he will mako an exceptional! " good official in any capacity, and especially so as Sheriff, in which capacity he has had considerable experience as deputy under other of fie hK A more gentlemanly citizen is not to bo found in the county; always courteous toward friend and foe alikfi and a bigger hearted man we have never known. In all our acquaintance with John Jamieson, and that extends from early childhood, we never knew him to be capable of doing a mean or small trick, but we have known him to make very many sacrifices for others, and his bitter est enemy would not go amiss it in dis tress he were to call on him for any help he might be aide to ronder. In politics he has been a li:e-lonir Republican, never flinching when his party was assailed, and the Republican voter in Forest county who cannot support Air. Jamie, son is made of very strange material. If ever a candidate on the ticket deserved the loyal, united and hearty support of the Republican party of Forest cetinty that candidate is John W. Jamieson. Of his capabilities for the office there isn't a question, and the people will never re gret having elected him to a position for which he is so admirably fitted. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, Tho candidates on the Republican, ticket are Charles M. Whiteman and James M. Morrison, both loyal Repub licans and both level-headed careful business men. Mr. Whiteman has been a member of the present board for three years. Dining that incumbency he has never faltered in doing what he conscientiously believed to be his duty to tho taxpayers of tho county. Often this course has appeared antagonistic to some, no doubt, but lie has never been swayed from what he thought was right and to the best intoreits of the county. No liv ing man can do bis wholo duty in an of ficial capacity and satisfy all the people j there will be those who will find fault, and very often without causo. It would be useless to try to please everybody and it is only the milk-and-water sort of man who will attempt it, and they always mil. air. viiiiemairs record in the com missioner's office is entirely creditable to him and we don t believe his enemies, even, will deny that ho has made a good' official, usiug good judgment in all his transactions. He is the only member of lue present board fiat is a candidate for re-eloeti m, and with the present state of affairs it would coitainly bo sensible policy to retain at least one tnembor of the old board in office. This ought surely to be plain to the tax payers of the coun ty. We believe it is, and that, regardless of personal feeling they will vote to re tain Mr. Whiteman for throe yoars long er. Mr. Morrison, the otter Republican candidate, has for many years conducted a succcshlul lumbering business in Jenks township, and has been one of its fore most and most active public spirited citizens. Although somewhat crippled at present, rendering him unable to make such a thorough canvass of the connty as he would like to, his mental families are most vigorous and active, and ho has directed his business all'uirs in a very successful manner. He is a pains taking, economical and very level-head-biiniiiiss mm, thoroughly acquainted with tho need and affairs of tho county, and will bring to the commissioners' ofllco ripe experience and splendid ex ecutive ability. With such men as Mor rison and Whtieman to look after the taxpayers' interest thero will bo no dang- I affairs will be conscientiously and honest ly administered. Stand by them when you cast your ballots and you may rest assured you will have ma le no mistake. FOR COUNTT AUDITORS The candidates are James R. Clark and George L. King. To those who know them these gentlemen need mo recommendation for the offices for which the partly had unanimously nominated them. Mr. Clark baa very acceptably filled the position for three years past, and we believe hts colleagues on the board will bear us out in saying that he is the right man in the right placo. Mr, King is a shrewd young business man, a good accountant, and may be depended ou to do his duty with fidelity. There w ill be no laxness in the discharge ot their work with theso tw-o competent men on tho board of County Auditors. They should be elected by good ma jorities. FOR J TRY COMMISSIONER. Levi G. Reynolds is the Republican nominee. Mr. Reynolds has been a 11 o long resident of the county, a staunch Republican and will make good of ficial. He is sure of the election, tberu being two to elect, and each voter being privileged to vote for only one, and the people willjbe well satisfied with his of ficial acts. Is is the duty of every Repgblican first, to vote the ticket straight, second to put his shoulder to the wheel and, iu every honorablo way, asist in rolling up an old fashioned majority for every individual on the ticket. The Republican party de serves the credit ot bringing about the splendid prosperity which the country Is now enjoying, and in order to per petuate and continue that prosperity it ia necessary to stand by the party's nomi nees, not only in State and National af fairs, but in county matters as well. No party can long exist if the individual members persist in knifing the local ticket There's where the wider field of politics springs from, and there if the place to show your Republicanism. Try to sink personal dislike if you have any, and stand by the caudidates of the party as you would want them to stand by you under like circumstances. Be loyal to your party at all times, and especially so when its candidates are being assailed by the common enemy, who, when you help them to an office will turn on you or you friends at tho first opportunity and crush you if they can. Stand by the ticket. More Than Keeping Even. Despite the predictions of the Demo crats a few years ogo tho Government revenue thus far during the present fiscal year has exceeded Uie Government ex pense. No wonder the opponents of the Republican party and of the policy of protection turn from the question of tar iff and begin howling about the trusts. They deceived the people in 1896 with their lies, and now in an effort to diveit the publio mind from those lies they howl about something else. At the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year a surplus of $2,000,000 is shown. Tho Gov ernment revenue for the three months has beon f 17,000,000 more than what it was during the same period of last year, and the expenditures havo fallen to f!5, 000,000. The customs are yielding from $600,000 to $1,000,000 a day, and internal revenue nets $1,000,000 each day, both showing an aggregate gain over the same period of last year of $5,000,000. The War Department is spending an average, of $12,50,000 each month, while the month ly expense of our navy is g5,000,000. We are carrying on a war on tho other side ol the world where we ere taking care of a great army of American soldiers as no nation has ever caied for its soldiers b -fore; we are adding battle ships, cruisers and torpedo boats to the navy in a man ner that is attracting the attention of all nations, and yet we show a cash balance and surplus ibr the past three mouths, the first quartor of the new Ileal year. More and more each day is the proof furnished that the protective tariff that bears the name of the late Mr. Dingley, one of the greatest and brains statesmen America ever produced, is fully capable of providing for all the expenses of our Government in times of peace, and more and more each day is it being demonstra ted that the finances of this country were never in better hands. Dos Moines State JiegUter. McKinley won't get the vote of a sin gle tramp next year. They are tired of finding themsolves ud against a waiiinir job every fime they turn around. IIorsk cars linger in the streets of New York for the benefit of the lovers of an tiquities. The num er of horses em ployed on these lines is still over 5,000. if Aguinoiuo nas not yet sclocted a coat of arms the Democratic rooster would fit the case. Ho pioclaims that all the hopo he has left is pinnod upon that bird. Dewey's $10,000 watch, a gift from Boston, is to be inscribed, "Gridley, you may firo when ready." With such a timepiece the Admiral should never be late to breakfast. If, as quoted in Chicago, $0.00 per hun dred is the highest price paid for live stock since 1884, it would seem the pro ducer and not the beef trust is getting the benefit of the prevailing high prices. A good farmer in Wilson township has tiiedtoloan his surplus money to his neighbors at 6 per cent, straight, but has been unable to do so owing to the present restoration of confidence and the large amount of money among the people. Is this not a strange condition to the men who said that Republican success would mako money high and scarce? Clinton Public. Aouinaloo will scan the election news from the United States four weeks bonco witli a good deal of interest. A victory for bis friends tho Democrats iu the states which vote this year would nerve the rebol chief to make some fierce fights against the Americans. It might, In fact, make him believe that be would yet have a chance to burn Manila and massacre all its white inhabitants. Otis' army, backed by the Republican party of the United States, has baffled Aguinal do In his schemes of rapine and blood thus far, but a victory for John McLeon and for Bryan's ticket in Nebraska would lead him to think that his friends were coming into power and that his day of triumph was near. The Destruction ot Protection, Not of the Trusts, the Avowed Pur pose of Fife-Traders. When the nation is more prosperous than ever before in Us history, making supremely r-.Hilculous the predictions f the free trado and free silver combina tions as to what would follow Republi can success In 1S06 and the passage of a pr3tective tariff bill, it might be supposed that the free trade and free silver advo cates would remain quiet until at least some kind of a reaction appeared. But ibeyarenot ordinary people, and the facts are of no account to them. 11 nice tho country has Bryan leading his party to destruction on the silver question, and a set of equally foolish Democrats secret ly trying to bring the tariff question to the front. Circulars have been sent broadcast to men supposed to be in sympathy with tho free trado advocates asking them for contributions to subsidize newspapers and writers to advocate free trado. Th se circulars emanate from The New Eng land Free-Trado League. The first clr cular states that "the league has about completed arrangements under wnich a series of articles will be published in one leading paper of each of the principal cities," the articles apparently to attack "trusts." But the free-traders are not real enemies of the "trusts," as this circu lar, dated September 21, explains: "It is not the province of tho league to make war upon the trusts, but to make war on the protctivo tariff," and it desires "to direct the popular fooling against trusts," so as to hurt the tariff, and contributions of money are called for to carry on that work. Of course to attack trusts directly when free trade England has hundreds of them, and many now on. a are being formed there every weok, would be im polite. Therefore the loaguo says that its province is not "to make war upon the trusts." Another circulai of the same date gives the plan of work. The league has, if we are to believe the circular, secured the services "of a number of our loremost publio men, who have promised to write letters." Tho names of these foromost men areas follows: Donelson Caffrey, J. Sterling Morton, J. De Witt Warner, Worthington C. Ford. William Lloyd Garrison, Thomas G. Shearman, Clifton R. Breckenridge, Franklin Pierce, Louis F. Post, Henry L. Nelson and A. B. Far qubar. That is a list calculated to. raise a smile on the face of the most funereal person. Thoieisnota man mentioned on the list who has not been howli g fur free trade for many years, and yet the nation is more strongly protectionist to day than ever before. Mr. Caffrey, the only man who holds a publio office, Is the Senator from Louisi ana who filled 350 columns of the Con gressional Record in one session to show ch:efly why there should be a i.igber tar iff on sugar, as his material interests are embraced in a sugar plantation. And yet the circular starts out wiiii the state ment that it is the intention to illustrate the recent declaration of Mr. Havemeyer, head of the sugar trust, that tho tariff is responsible for the trusts. Havemeyer and Caffrey denouncing the tariff on su gar is certainly a combination that would mako the tort.ine of any freak manager. The tearful Shearman of Brooklyn, who has boon writing Free-Trade letters for such a long limo to Britis i newspapers ; L-iuis F. Post, a Socialist leader of New York, and W. L. Garrison, as "foiemost public men," is certainly w.iat might be cal lo I "a curtain raiser." It is interesting to note tho newspa pers with which, according to tho circu lar, "arrangements" have been made to publish these wonderful articl s. We are told that thoy ai e such papers as tho Boston "Transcript," New York 'World," Philadelphia "Record," Bal timore "Sun," Springfield "Republi can," Manchester "Union," Milwaukee "Journal," Kansas City "Times" and Pittsburg "Post," which have alioady acceptod the league's proposal. The list of subjects is also interesting. At the head is the "tin plate." The objeot is to haye the duty on tin plate removed on the giound that there is a "trust" in that industry. And yet the London newspapers have been full of articles lately telling of the successful organiza tion of the British Tin Plate Trust. Evidently ail the League needs to do to got the money it wants to pay for the writing and publication of its articles is to apply to tho British Tin Plate Trust. Another subject, is "wall pa per," an article more co-npletely in the grasp of a trust in Great Britain than any other. "Wire nails" is another snbject. They have never been manu factured to any extent in Englan !, fcut are a German product, and were con trolled by a German "tr. st" when the duty was first put ou them in this coun try in 1883. Then they sold for 10 cents a pound. That trust is still in existence In Germany. After the Protective duty was imposed and the industry estab lished in the United States wire nails sold hero for years for less than 2 cents a pound, although the duty was 4 cents a pound I Thero are trusts which control abroad nearly every article to be attacked by tho loague. The friends of Protection in the United States will awxit this on slaught with great calmness. They have heard ol the New England Free Trade League before aud haye noted with great pleasure that since its for mation in Boston the Republican ma jority in New England has steadily in creased, going far beyond anything eyor before known in tho history of the party.

The President put a good deal of his tory into small compass when he said lit a recent speech : "Tho United Statos has never repudiated a national obllgtion cither to its creditors or to humanity." His pledgo that "it will not now begin to do either" will be sustained by the poo pie. Mn. Cleveland remarks that he is opposed to the use of force in the exten sion of American institutions, This Is rather "vague. On one occasion Mr. Cleveland used some strong language In regard to the Monroe doctrine and his hint at force caused quite a sensation. New lioods.

Adams from the Republican State ticket as tho can didate for Superior Judge lost Thuisday, on account of new spaper charges serious ly affecting his character and fitness, and the substitution of John I. Mitchell of Thua county to fill the vacancy thus caused, has been the Bensation of the week in politcs. Whether true or not, the charges of being associated iu busi ness witu men who havo since turned out to be of rather odious character, in duced Mr. Adams to withdraw Irom tho ticket in order, as he said, to reliove the party from any embarrassment in his con tinuation as a cand.dato might bring. The Stale committee was oiled together ai Philadelphia on Saturday and un aniur only chose Judge Mitchell to fill the Vacancy, His candidacy will strength eu the ticket becauso of his will known fitness, ability and clean otllciul rocord. The incident is closed, diplomatically speaking, and Judge Mitchell and the whole Republican ticket will bo elected by little less than 200,000 majority. Hopkins' shoe stock is the largest in town.
