T-REAsURER OF 4

GHt OE SAA4E
As the friends of the editor of this pa
per nave presented his name for nomin-
alton, before the Democratic State Con-
venfion, fer Treasurer of State, the al
Interim may be permitted, on his WI
responsibility, and in behalf of the Dem
ooracy of Ashland county, to make his
courteous Acknowledgements to Demo
cratic editors and others, by whom the
proposition has been so warmly and cor
daily received.
This nomination, We know, has not,
up to this hour, been sought by Mr..
KNAPP. The movement in his behalf
has been a voluntary tribute to his fit
ness and his claims.
In his own paper, and on his own re-
sponsibility, Mr.. KNAPP has not, since
his return to the Union, published a
word that would indicate whether he
would be a candidate, or even by way
of the acknowledgment, which was due
his Democratic cotemporaries of the
press and others, for their friendly ex-
pressions-and this omission on his part,
we, the all interim here take upon ourgelf
the responsibility of supplying, by re-
publishing such Of the kind endorsements
of his brethren of the press as we are
enabled to discover from " the files"
STATE TREAsURER.-H. s. KNAPP,
editor of the Ashland Union, is spoken
of for the nomination for Treasurer of
State by the next Democratic State Con
vention. No better nomination could
be made. He is known throughout the
State as an untiring, urwaVering Demo
crat and an able editor. The labor per-
formed by the Democratic press in
Ohio during the past campaign deserves
some Acknowledgement from the party,
and we think If the Democratic press Of
the State were left to decide upon whom
favors and honors should be bestowed,
that HORACE s. KNAPP would be apt to
be the man. There are others named
in connection with this Office, who no
doubt are worthy men, and if they are
nominated will receive the undivided
vote of the party in the State. Give
us . good ticket, and Ohio will be re-
dssmed.-BKcyrNs Forum
Horace s. Knapp, Esq.
This gentleman is highly spoken of as
q candidate before tho Democratic State
Convention, to be held in Columbgs in
August next, as prominent candidate for
Treasurer Of State. Mr.. Knapp is at
present editor of the Ashland Union, !
one of the best Democratic papers in the
State. He would make a most excel
lent Treasurer should he receive the
and be elected.-Ohio
State Democrat.
EA number of our contemporaries
suggest Horace s. Knapp Esq, of the !;
Ashland Union, as a candidate for !:
Treasurer of Estate. Horace would make :
a good officer, and if the Convention :
and the Union are undoubtedly safe,-i
Democrat. h
We see the name Of Mr.. II. s. Knapp {
mentioned by several of the Ohio pa
pers, in connection with tho off ee of
Treasurer of State. Mr.. K. has bat 6
tied calamity for the Democratic cause 6
in that State, and few men could be
found more deserving or better fitted &
for the Office. he has our best wishes {
Wayne Jefersonian. t
We clip the above from the Fort '
Jefersonian. To say that we :
fully endorse it, is but expressing the z
we have entertained for Mr.. .
for twenty years. His Democ- :
;aey is antained by latter-day isms, and :
lis integrity is above suspicion. Tho :
election of Mr.. Z. as Treasurer of State !,
would be a merited tribute to his long l
in the ranks of the Ohio Demoo- 7
-acy. Success to him.-Logd1asport =
Ind P&aros. :
~Our clever and talented cotem. I
porary, Col. HORACE 8. KNAPP, of the
Ashland Union, is urged by a number
of our exchanges as a candidate for
State Treasurer. If tho Col. will take r
it he is competent, worthy, popular and {
Just the man for the position.-OAio {

The above are what We have been en- a
abled to discover from the files for the .

advantage of the circumstances,
may be permitted to express the
ofthe Democracy of this county.
is no man whose came would add
more to the strength of the ticket in
this part of the country, than that of
the editor of this paper. The active
and efficient part he has taken in the
politics of the State for period of ff-
teeniyears or more, his untiring and dis
but unrequited labors through
the medium of the press against the foes
of achite equality, entitle him at the
hands of the Democracy of the State to
her highest honors-the just dues of his
merits and mis- services. With the name
of b. s. KNAPP upon the ticket, and
any of the honorable ones proposed for
the Other high Offices, we will send mig
gerism into its last napin this " neck of
woods.n On that score count Ashland
county good for six hundred majority
