Prominent West* Side Quartet. .... j When four good men—candi dates, >1 course—cull m one day,. t<> have the county paper put them jam up against the public, it is; difficult to put them there just alike, for some desire one thing, and some another; but they want it just, t he same. * J ] A little singular, too, that these goon men should all hail from j the glorious west side of the good old county, and vet, it is the case j —four of them, almost in a covey, and just ready to he flushed at the sight, of a voter, or even the slightest mention of u primary, early or late. Now, these men are not posing as targets for a Roquet of well chosen words: they want votes!' and want ’em bad. and must have ’em, sooner or later. First member of this quartet is Judge W. Henry Clark, our worthy Tax Receiver —the man with u good record, serying his first, term. Ho is anxious to serve his native county again in this capacity, l when lie purposes to retire (in favor of his friends.) The second good looking mem-i ber is Brother A. J. Grimes, who! enters the race with.many friends | to say amen. He is out, for the office of Tax Collector, having ’ withheld himself at the last cam paign, with the understanding that he would enter in full force i this time. Third, there is Mr. H. 3. P<*avy, • another good man, who guaran tees to fill the office of Tax Re ceiver in a manner acceptable to the people. He, too, Inis a strong following. He is anxious tor the place, and makes an earnest ap peal for it. He will appreciate i your support. The fourth gentleman, rejoicing as a stroug man to run a race, is 1 Mr. P. F. Williams, whose aspira- tions incline toward the office of Tax Collector of his native coun ty, and ho will make a strong pull . for the persimmon, and is using u j long pole with a hard knocker at- j tached. ] ( Gentlemen, words fail me: p.o your roots; and may countless voters, with long ballots be with . you, new and until after the pn-j inary. And when the battle is over, the old county pufjer can still be counted as your friend— in deed and (in need) —of all the 1 support that it can receive.

The formal annuncement of Sheriff James Hester may b« found m The Monitor, and it is a straight-forward appeal for the support of the voters of the coun ty in the approaching election.
