OIB TICKET.
No one, we think, can fail to be
pleased with the nominations made by
the Linn County Convention. The
names on that ticket are those of our
most substantial, solid, competent men,
who arc in sympathy with the people,
in all these respects having the ad van
tage of their opponents on the Demo
cratic ticket. It is an unexceptionably
good ticket, and will meet the hearty
approval of Republicans, while we can
confidently appeal to the honest and
sober element of the Democratic party
to support the ticket because of its supe
rior excellence, in every respect, over
the ticket pat up for them by the old
and corrupt ring that has so long had
control of county affairs. It will not
be an easy matter to fiud out what be
comes of the immense amount of taxes
annually collected in Linn county, until
that ring is broken up. ltu compe
tent, sober, honest men, such as those
beading our ticket, we caauot but be
successful, if each citizen, who desires
that rigid economy and unwavering
honesty shall hereafter rule in county
affairs, will do his duty from now until
the evening of election. Hurrah for
the Linn County. Republicautickct, and
let each man use every honest endeavor
to secure a change for the better in
couuty affairs, by the election ot every
man whose name appears on the ticket

We earnestly urge our friends through
out the county to wake up to the real
importance of the pending effort, and
by energetic work to render certain a
Republican victory. Such a victory is
not to be won by supineness, and fold
ing the hands in careless neglect of the
great issues at stake. Victory, if won,
must be sought and not waited for.
Active, energetic, unflagging effort is
essential to assured success.
Every citizen shonlii vote. To &ii
in this sacred duty is to put . in peril
wise laws and good government. There
is bo much ignorance to contend against
in this country that neglect of the fran
