An olllcer or this kind should bo above partisanship or any kind. As a paity wo should be fair In tho distribution of positions and If theie is a stenographer in Rich county who is competent to do tho work, tho couit should bo pleased to appoint such a poison 11 the republican party is successful. 1 do not believe in the policy adopted by tho democrats for a continuance in olllce. Two terms are suillcient and if elected 1 will see that this rule applies to myself. 1IOLTON TALKS. F. .1.
