assuming man-u'man who labors honestly

bity of character is the universal testimony

LfBIA UNDERWOOD.
This gentleman is the candidate of the
Democratic party for the Office of County
Commissioner. The commissioners of
county are the guardians and financial
agents of the people. They have It in their
power to squander the public moneys, to IN.
volve the county in debts, to create oppres.
sive burthens by unnecessary and improper
expenditures; or by an economical manage
ment of our public concerns, they msy pro-
mote and insure the prosperity Of the people.
Mr.. Underwood is man Of sound head and
heart. He will always be found upon the
side of prudent and careful control OF the
peoples money. He is opposed to running
in debt and compelling the tax. payers to pay
len per cent. interest for borrowed money.

g the choice of the Democracy for the i'm.
oortant Office ofProsecuting Attorney. We
need not offer a word in regard to the quail
fcations which man must possess 10 per-
orm the dtties of this Office. He must be
obnd, we'll read lawyer-he must have ex-
oerience in The business of his 'proFession--
ne must be prepared by long practice, not
onIy to draw d correct indictment, but TO ap-
'ear before court and jury and try the cas-
s in which he may be engaged with force,

Attorncy, for four years. During that time

tanees and upon ait occasions, fully equal

age county was organized, we do not know
nat there was ever found more successful,
lithful and Impartial public officer. His

DAVID JENNINGS, Jr.
Mr.. Jennings is we'll known in Portage
ounty, and none know him but to respe
i'm. Those persons who are SO unfortunate
} to become objects Of public charity, will
nd him true, humane, and faithful guardi
n. When the county furnishes home to
le poor, idlotic, insane or infrm, it is well
lat men Of warm and true hearts as well as
lear intellect and business capacity, should
e chosen to preside over the home thus fur
ish ed. The choice could not have fallen
pom better man than David Jennings, Jr.
ALVIN DELp1Ee,

lie is an excellent man for that, or and 9TH.
r, office to which the people may call him.
Such is orr ticket. Tie gentlemen above

f them have already been intrGsted with
over by the people In former times. They
ave proven themselves worthy of conf.
enes and support. They are all men of
nflinching adherence to principle and in
heir official conduct have never swerged
rom the liie Of duty. Eet, then, the De.
noctacy Of Portage county, rally around
hem. let US 60 to work. earnestly, and
