OCR TICKET. Above will' be found our ticket for the county officers to bo chosen at the coming election. This ticket was nominated on last Saturday, br one ef the 2w vm sajH sembled in Sumner county, aad we think it will do for a peoples ticket as well as a Republican ticket, it having been selected ia accordance with the old motto "The bet men for the offices." Gko. Mv Mii.i.eb, whose name heads the ticket, is the present Probate Judge and is oae ef the oldest residents in the county. The judge is a man of fine education a good speaker, a man of sterling integrity aod- un.

questioned buncsty. He is oae of the most active and energetic men-in the county, and is fully alive to the interns of the southwest, and of8raner county. We predict for the judge a rousing vote and shall use oar feeble i-florts to secure it for him. T. J.

Milholland, the nominee for Clerk of the District Cmrt, as good a man for that place as could have been selected. An energcti active mun, a good and rapid penman, pos-scssing enough legnl knowledge and experience to enable him to the duties of the office, he is piccminently 'mul'tied for the position. From what we know of the Col. is strictly hon-st and wc fee! certain he will net run behind his ticket. The candidate for Probate Judgcf P.

Glynn, is a lawyer of no mean ability. Bat owingJo his extreme poor With for the past few montlis has been unable to practfoe his profession, lie is man well informed, a good jodgt Uw and (footed'- will no doubt snake a good officer. Mr Glynn hi deserving something at the hands of the people and wc hope he will be elected, fully believhig that he will ably and faithfully discharge his duties. The candidate for County Attorney, C. Wilsie, is uiid to be a young man of line ability.

True be has not had as large and long a practice at the barr as some others, but this is no reason why he is not a good lwyer. fartour the members of the barr 1ms led us to believe tfA I I iwii mw rrn 1')MI IHWVCM In amoiimhe young men her. mlht mt, thitu s.ii.m;' Hiiwf who boast a long pr4t.V are sonally toiMfnff wiih Mr. Wide, but by tho rreseniatims inado ft us by thm wlw are, ws are of the onln. Superintendent of Publie Instruction, and is the present iiicumbent of that office.

No word of oar are blcbs ry (o recommend Mr. Mason to tho people of Sumner county. Too ability and fidelity with which he has die-charged the datiea of tho office, is bia best recommendation. Taking hold of the schools of the county, when entirely unorganized, he ha built them into system, and brought order ont of char. And the schools of $umncr county, which now compare favorably with thorc of any other county in the state, are sufficient rccorasndation of the industry and ability, of Mr.

Mason. Aud after having donc-the work for a time without pay, or almost to, the people will not turn him off just us the office begins to pay a better salary. Taking the ticket as a whole, we do not thiuk a better one could have been adopted, and so far as we have heard the peoplo of the county are generally rith H. i esunten Liberal-Democratic ticket wili be put into the field and the fight will be a fair political one. Every good republican should rally to the support of tho cause, and Sum ner will roll up a heavy majority for the ticBbt, In fact we see no reason why every good citizen of the county should not support it No better one could be gotten up, nor one that would suit more people.

True there are men on the ticket who would not have been our personal choice, but they are good men, and will perhaps make as good officers as would the others, and we for one shall support the whole county ticket. If we thought any of them were dishonest men, or unfit for tho of fices they seek, we should not consider our party obligations so strong as to bind us to support them. But when no better men jtre presented by the other party, we. shall, always support good Republicans. District Jnelgc.

We place in our clumns this week the name of J. M. Attwood, for judgo of the 13th Judicial District Pome may ask why we do this, being our self a republican. In answer we would say tout the Judicial bench should be filled by a man chosen, not for his political opinions, but for his honesty, integrity and legal ability. We will not allow our party ties to force as to support for office a man whom we believe to be wufit for the place, stapty wetatusm htwowfanted by bought delegates.

Nor will we be- cgjye such a thing has been done, leave the qind old party, but stand in its folds and fight dishonest offlceheckers, We ctinnet support Campbell because we donot believe him a fit person to hold any office of trust, or prifit, and we have a number of reasons, which we shall give from time to time. Suffice istosny, now, that we believe Mr. Campbell in the fall of 1870, when county attorney of Butler county, con uived at, if he did not assist in the commission of a crime which would tend to secure his reelection to that of fice, or rather his election to that which he was then holding by appointment And again, if Mr. Campbell was act listed by a desire to simply and hon estly discharge the duties of his office, why does he show so much anxiety in the mutter as to pay for his nomina tion, giving to one man, as high as two hundred and five dollars? We tdiall hereafter have occasion to xny more, and shall also publish the documents to prove what we say TIlECOftVE.VTIO.V. The Republican county convention held in this place on last Saturday was as quiet and harmonious a gather ing as we have ever seen, and so far as we have beard gives general satisfaction all over the county.

And we sec no why it should not. Our opinion of the men uominated is fully ify 31 in another column. There was' no rlng" or "clique" to manipulate the convention, and judging from the proceedings there was no preconcerted mode of action agreed upon by auy of the delegates, and the candi dates nominated were chosen for their merits, and not by any "cut and dry" process. The too, were not all from ono locality, but were very equally distributed over tho county.

In conclusion, for the satisfaction of the aslny who are personally unacquainted wHh us or oar cast record. we will add that, upon the questions oi corporate interests, special legislation, the election of a United States senator to succeed Samuel C.

TO THE REPrBLICAIVS OF THE Tr ESfTY-FIFTII E5- ATqRIAL DISTRICT. Our party having, through iu dele gates in convention assembled, named its choice for the arduous and respon sible position of state senator, a formal acknowledgment at our hands of the trust reposed and of ite acceptance, seems due the party and each individ ual republican voter of the district.

The Twenty -fifth senatorial district, comprising the counties of Howard, Cowley, Sumner, Reno, Harvey, But ler and oodgwiek and all west is not only the largest in area, by far, but contains double as many electors as any other district in the state. The estimated population falls not sl-aVtrf wraftsM idts one-seventh of the entire population of Kansas. Within its borders are to be found tho largest valleys, the longest an(t purest streams of water, the most dense settlements, the richest lands and the most flourishing towns to be found within the borders of our young and rapidly developing commonwealth. Comparatively but recently settled? the interests to be cared for and fostered at the hands of the state government are numerous and complicated. Believing that in all this large area and among all these naturally diversified intcrcsto, there exists no antagonistical relatioi.s, we accept the honor conferred, hoping that, if elected, by honest zeal aud unremitting attention to be able to partially, at least, acquit out-self to the satisfaction of each individual locality.

For the last sixteen or since the earlier territorial days, We have lieen a resident ofKausa, and "with each succeeding year our faith in her future has never wavered, but strengthened with time. Of what we have accomplished in that time we leave for others to speak, but we can, we think, without egotism, say that our positions and connections have brn of that character that have mnde us acquainted with tho state, her wants and demands, the spirit of her laws and her publie institutions, as also nearly all of her public men. Whatever of legislative or publit experience we nay have gained will be no disadvantage when we come to work for this great district, with which we are now identified, i As yet "the powers tlmt bo" have not realixcd fully the present or future promise of this portion of tho state. The time lias come when a proper recognition of all that pertains to our development and strength as a district rous? bo acknowledged by tho lawmaking aud executive departments of oujjjjnto government. As a first step iu Mat direction the counties composing the Twenty-fiAh district must get out their full vote which goes from the rtiuto board of canvassers to tho desk of each legislator.
