County Ticket For Senator

R. B. WYCKOFF, an old resident of Jackson county, has represented this county in the Legislature with marked ability, is a consummate hater of Fusionism and its subordinate branches; and will not yield a hair to its threats, enticements or braggadocio; in a word, he is “sound,” is opposed to arbitrary and stringent laws, is a strong temperance man, believes that moral suasion, example &c, can do far more to cure the evils of intemperance than strong legislative enactments; as a farmer, can act for the farmer, the laboring man and the mechanic; can express his views in a candid straightforward manner. That he will guard and protect the interests of old Jackson, if elected, cannot for a moment be doubted. Farmers, Mechanics, and Working men, he is the very man to vote for. Give him your support and influence with a hearty good will.
