For County Commissioner, we have JOHN Fl.
DOUGLASS, Esq, of Clearfeld township, who is
an excellent selection for this office. He is o
shrewd, safe good business man, one who will
bestow every attention to the county affairs, and
demonstrate his peculiar fitness to take charge
of her increasing resources.
For Auditor, JOSEPH HoGUE, Esq, of Carroll,
township, is our candidate. He is an estimable
young man. peculiarly qualified to audit the
county accounts, and viii be careful that moth
ing over which he exercises supervision bu
will receive thorough and complete examina-
ton.
For County Surveyor, THOMAS NPCoNNELL,
Esq, of Summerhill township, a skilful and ex-
perienced surveyor, than whom o better man
could not have been nominated.
These then are The nominees of our County
Convention, and we trust that that cordial and
enthusiastic support viii be given, to which their
merits so justly entitle them. Numbers there
were, who preferred others, equally as deserv-
ing Of support as those nominated, but their pre-
ferences are, for the present, merged in the win
of the majority, that will being expressed in an
honorable manner. In the late campaign the
hardy democracy of Cambria We'd with each 9th
er in their devotion to party may we not hope
that the spirit of 80 is again abroad, urging us
on to as glorious a victory in October '53, as we
gained over our opponents last fall.
