There is many reasons why the repab

should by all means bare a republican
legislature at the coming se3sion, as there
is a United States senator to elect.

The republican county ticket nornina
ed by a reunited party in a most bar'
ruoaiuus convention, is oue of the strong
est tickets ever put in tho Held for the
Barrage of the people of this county,
and especially are the republicans to be
coDgratulited upon healing their ticket
with tbe name of a man of such well
known at.ilitr, Hterlinic int-gritv and
untiring energy, as is posee-awt by Hon
A. C. Marstri". I lis accurate eHiimate
of men, his cler thought an I fnr-eeeing
mind, coupled with rip experience
makes hi.ii a v,iluabU counselor on
all public matters, r.ml being
naturally po.-tretseJ of genial and courte
ous manners he tiaci surrounded himself
with scores offiithful friends and ad
mirers, and from this fat, and this alone,
the less popular and f-iucea-l il leaders of
the opposing forces delight to hurl tucb
choice epithets as "bora," "dictator,"
etc., at him.
We Iia7e always found Mr. Marstera
evrr redy and willing to Usitn to, and
respect the opii.ionB and thiiories of otli
ersaod heis entirely (reafroiu any nar
row prejndice, or dictatorial cliuraeti'i

and upright, and miy be relied up
on to do bis whole duty as a law
maker and conservator of the iiitrestx of

no reason why th entire, ticket eh mid

thing to point out iui tvil bred by a
