The Nominations.

! For Congress John McReynolds has a
much capacity as any of the candidates nam
ed, and our county has claims equal to an,
other in the District. The office belongs no
TO any county but 10 the filtest man. Mr.
McReynolds has made politics the study o
bis long life, and is therefore well acquainted
with public men and their history His sa
gacity and discretion would make him 9
useful member to his constituents and
friends.
For member MIR. ,Ent is re-nominated, and
his votes last winter fully justified the zeal
Gus support we gave to his election. The
trial he has had proved the character of the
man, and men are certain what sort of can
didate they have in him.
For Prothonotary, Mr.. Eyerly, whom ev-
erybody knows, is re-nominated. This was
entirely upon his merits as an officer, for his
long tenure of Office was urged strongly
against him. Bat his experience in office
made this charge operate more in his favor
than against him. He will be as easily elect.
ed as he was nominated, for people feel that
ii is matter of much importance TO have
the duties of an office well attended TO.
Daniel Lee was unanimously re.nomina-
ted for Register and Recorder; and as every
voter will agree that no man more correct,
attentive and fair could be found for The Of
fee, he will most likely have no competitor
at1he polls.
For Commissioner, M. Dieerick is social
ly a clever man, and his father served as
Commissioner some years ago. Politically
he has repeatedly opposed Democratic nom
nations, voting IN 1853 for volunteer who
was last fall the Know Nothing eIeclor in
this district, and in 1854 for the X. N. Volun-
teers. But as the conversation seems 10 Oh.
solve him for these ihings, and pronounoes
him more merilorious than any OF 1000 lrue
Democrats OF the county wbo have regularly
supported nominations, we are too good a
Democrat 10 sci up our private opinion against
The decree OF the party, and we tnly hope
that when he is elected his public course will
Justify the partially of the convention. No
man has right 10 expect that every nomina-
lion shall every year please his personal de-
sire, and if The party has forgiven MIR. Dieter
oh NO enshi certainly 10 contribute Our small
hare of pardon which we can well do; es-
,ecially as we shonIdbe very much ashamed
10 act in the spirit he did in 1855, when he
secretly di slribulcd tic kels for the Know Moth
uss with our name for county Auditor, and
,eing told we were not q candidate he an
wered, 'I know. but we run bin for spite"
We shall act in no spirit of ''spite" or NAL
co toward him; and we have no doubt he is
n moments of cool mind as much ashamed
hat he has done so, as we would be 10 follow
10 bad an example. II the Opposition nom
nate competitor, he is likely 10 re still
more Objectionable, and as we are well con-
en-, with all the rest of lne ticket we are as
veil of as any member of party can be.
James S. M'Niuch is well qualified for
Treasurer. lie was for some years steady
erk in the store Of M'Kelvy s. CO., and TO
his day enjoys their generous confidence for
integrity aud business capacity. lie is now
partner in the large paper mill ut Calawis.
IA, and though comparatively young he has
many friends among those who know him
pest.
John X. Iohe was nominated by such n |
atgc vote that it is certain he has persona! |
riends. The whole lohe family, we be.
ieve, are Democrats and John is among the
most active OF them.
