ner in whichthey have been; but mas
much as they are now before the peo-
pie and are ''good men and true," we
see no good reason why the Wings
should not give them their hearty and
undivided support
With the nomination of Hon. VIM.
Mckay we are particularly well pleased.
His name will lend strength to The tick
Ell, and il the people are but awake to
their own interests the ticket entire will
be elected. The Republican in speak
ing of the nominees, says:
"These nominations will receive a
cordial and hearty support, from The pco.
pie of the whole State.
1.-THE election Of Mr.. Mckay 10 the
.!udgeship in his District, shows the es.
,imation in which he is held where he
best known, and his integrity of charac-
ter, and his rare abilities give the assn.
rance that the confidence reposed in him
will not be abused, aud that his duties
if he is elected will be performed with
credit 10 himself, and those whose inter.
esls are entrusted to his care.
"Mr. Lockwood represented his coun-
ty in the Legislature which has jus. clo-
sed its session. He is a gentleman wor-
thy of a liberal support. As a member
of the House he performed his duties
in an honorable manner, and guarded
well the interests Of his constituents, as
we'll as those OF the State at large. He
had the full confidence Of his fellow
representatives as a man of moral worth
and high in,ellectual attainments. His
honesty of purpose, no n with whom
he is acquainted will ever bring in ques-
ton.
"Mr. Hart is an old resident of this
county, and is noted as a most thorough
and correct business man. AS Secreta-
ry of the Board of Trustees of the State
University he has sold most of the Uni
ve:sity Land that has been brought into
market, and we speak from a personal
knowledge of the facts when we say
that his books are kept in the bes, order,
and that his business transactions are
such as commend him 10 all practical
business men. In making the sales of
these lands his duties have been perfor-
me6 to the entire satisfaction of the
board, and they will bear The %s.iictest
scrutiny. We shall be disappointed il
old johnson does does no, give him a
good heavy majority.
"Our duty as to the ticket presented
is plain. With a united effort it can be
elected. We have the strength with
which to do il, and it must be DONE
Our candidates are all good men, and
true. We have not doubt but tina,
they will prove themselves acceptable to
the people o. large, and they must, and
will be elected.
