Good Words For Retiring Officers

To show how poorly the people judged of good officers last fall, we subjoin a few of the Courier's coraments, (republican by the way) on the retiring county officers who were candidates tor re-election last fall: Mr. Brenner has made a good sheriff, and during his term of office no extra tramp bilis have been run up, and the county has had to pay for what it received, and nothing more, for Mr. Brenner is an honest man, and never defrauded anyone out of a cent. Andrew T. Hughes, the out-going register of deeds, has held the office but one term. He has made a good record, and leaves the office in good condition. He has also made many friends in the city since his residence here. The gentleman who retires atter one term of service as prosecuting attorney, Mr. Thomas D. Kearney, has developed considerable ability while holding the office. He proved himself capable of contending with the older lawyers at the bar when forced to do so, and has made a good prosecuting officer for the county, devoting his time thereto, and although he allowed the expenses in the Hand case, to run up pretty high, yet hisanxiety to succeed will probably 'excuse a good portion of that, while in other things he has saved the people expense, by not allowing trivial things to be brought into court.
