The Candidates--Our Duty.
| In the First Ward we have for the House WV.
BRANcH. an honest, upright,. manly gentleman,
direct from the ranks of the peopio, with the
sweat OF labor still upon his brow. He is the
man for the timos, and if elected, as we believe
he will be, the masses will find him identified
with their interests.
Benz. w. BRuNsoN, also from the First Ward
and its Precincts, We are not particularly ac-
quainted with, but from what wc learn of him he
possesses oil the requisite qualifications for q
good legislator. He is an old citsen,s we'll post
ed and lays claim to backbone. Affgtaff
The Second Ward has brought forward CuAs.
BERcFELD, by no means aspiring politician,
but worthy citizen, whose residence among us
has demonstrated his fitness for the Office. He is
quite popular among his own people and much
esteemed by all others. 'V''.
In the selection of candidate for the Third
Ward, JUsTUs c. RAMSEY, brother Of Ex- Governor
RAMSEY, was chosen. Mr.. RAMSEY is quiet, un-
ambitious and unostentatious politician. He
has seen st. Paul start from nothing and started
with it. Both are now able to 60 alone. He is
not broken down political nag, but gentleman
who, in the first Legislature of this Territory, did
much to lay the foundation of the present pros.
perity of our city. We feel quite sure that MIR.
RAMSEY will be elected by triumphant vote
What say the people of the Third Ward?
CARLTON GoRlxc, for the Little Canada Dis
trict, is an entire stranger to us, but it his neigh
bors are to be believed, who have known him for
years, he is the man to properly represent Little
Canada. Let our friends in that District see to
it that Mr.. GoRING is elected-he can be with
proper exertion.
The gentlemen on the County ticket are all
good men-we do not know an exception. PIP.
FURBrR, for Treasurer, is an honest man-is a
capable man-is a worthy man: the peoples
money will be safe in his hands, and in these
times of villainy, tax payers should bear this in
mind. Friends !-don't lie idly on your oars
when such man as Mr.. FuRBER is in the field,
for if after what has been said about our County
matters, you refuse to elect an officer who will
take care of your iunds-an honest man-then
don't blame US, if hereafter, we leave the County
matters to take care of themselves. b1"
For County Commissioner no better man in the
Republican ranks can be found than PARKER
PAINE, and We. the present Board meets with our
entire appreciation. If Mr.. Paine is elected, he
will take the place of Edmund Rice, Esq, who,
though opposed to politically, is just the man
for the place, and one who will use his best ex-
ertions towards curtailing the expenses of the
county. And Yet MIR. Paine, perhaps, would
| make equally as good an officer; at any rate he
| is the Republican nominee and We give him our
support.
a good Coroner is an officer much needed, and
| from what we know of WV. II. SHELLY he will
| perform his duties faithfully and acceptably.
Men Of judgment, with sufficient intelligence
to properly estimate the value of property, should
| by all means be Assessors. That such men have
been brought forward by the Republican party,
there can be no doubt. The very mention of the
name of j. W. SELBY carries strength with it.
Who would not trust him to estimate their pro.
| perty, and who would have any fears as to his
faithfully performing his duty? Gentlemen of
the Third Ward--and in other parts of the city
look to your own interests, and elect j. w. SELBY.
DR.. f. A. Boyd we are not acquainted with, but
he bears an excellent reputation, aud hailing from
Little Canada, he will no doubt be elected.
| !.
| A. r. KElFER needs no commendation from US.
Although German by birth, yet in point of in
telligence, gentlemanly bearing and sound judg
ment, he has few superiors. Unless We greatly
mistake the signs Of the times, be will be one Of
our next Assessors, and he will make good one.
Readers of the TINES The Republican candi-
dates are now before you. They were nominated
with great unanimity, and if we only take of our
coats and 60 to work, St. Paul for once will be
redeemed, but if we remain inactive while our
enemies are moving, we must suffer defeat. Is
the cause we are engaged in worthy an effort p
If so, let us make it now. Are our nominees wor-
thy our support? If SO, let us support them
Remember that the triumph Of our ticket in this
city would dsconcert our opponents throughou;
the territory while it would give new life to oui
young but not yet fully developed party. Now is
the time to cross the Rublcon, and once crossed
the country is safe. March to victory
