Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1859-09-08
A. HOLDERBAUM.

The candidates are well distributed
through the county-only one of them
living in Millersburg. They are mostly
old citizens, esteemed and honored where
known, and possess all the requisites nee
essary to making faithful public officers
honesty and capacity. They are men Of
good moral character, and temperate hab-
its; and if the voters of this county, were
suffered to choose between the two county
tickets now presented for their choice, at
the coming election, unbiased by partizan
influences, we should have no doubt as 10
the result, There are no professional Of
fee seekers on this ticket, no men that will
sacrifice their honor and manhood, to in
sure their election, nor will they be found
going the circuit Of the county, dealing in
falsehoods against an opponent, in order to
catch votes. That kind of electioneering
they will leave to their political opponents; !;
and to judge from the early start they
have already made they seem anxious to
monopolize all the lying'that is done dur
ing this campaign.
The nominee for Representative, DR..
WooD, is worthy Of the entire confidence Of
the people. He was some years ago the
candidate for Representative of the Tenn
perance Party, and fought good fight
in that campaign against king Alchobol.
Mr.. A. KEN, the nominee for Sheriff,
will make an excellent officer if elected
He possesses all the qualifications requis-
lite for the responsible position for which he
is nominated, and his name will add
strength to.the ticket.
Mr.. WILLIAM CoRNs, the nominee for
Auditor, is young man of thorough bust
ness qualifications, of industrious habits,
and of irreproaehable personal character.
Mr.. JACKSON SILoorr, the nominee for
Treasurer, is one of the most reliable and
substantial men in Holmes county. His
nomination for treasurer will command the
confidence of the People, who, above all
things, demand that responsible positions
of this kind shall be filed by responsible
men.
]. w. Worries, Esq, the nominee for
Prosecutor is young Lawyer of good bu-
siness habits, and of unexceptionable moral
character.
The Convention was also fortunate in
its choice for Commissioner, Mr.. NEW
coMER. A better man for this position
could hardly be found in the county. Its
candidate for Surveyor, Mr.. SAMUEL ROB
INsoN, is well known throughout the
county. He has passed almost his entire
life in it, and in the capacity of Surveyor,
has probably been over every quarter sec
tion ofland within the county limits. He
is a man of infexible honesty and sound
judgment.
As whole the Ticket is one that we
can labor for with hearty good will, and
one that should be, III is not, Triumphant
ly elected. The socalled democratic party
has been so long in power in this county
that its corruption has extended from its
circumference 10 its center. 1t is rotten
to the core. Its fragrant abuse of power,
its extravagant expenditures, its wanton
waste have sapped the foundations of pub
lie confidence even among the better class
Of its own adherents. The necessity of a
change is apparent; and to meet this ne
cessity, the Republicans offer Ticket
which is unexceptionable. There is no
denying the fact that we start with for
midable majority to overcome; nor the
further fact that there are some croakers
and timid souls in our ranks, who look up
on that majority as an almost insurmount-
able barrier 10 success. But let it be re-
membered that greater majorities have
been overcome, and can be again conquer
ed by determined will and thorough or
ganization. See what has been accom-
plished in Wayne county within few
years, in Stark, in Ashland, and other coun-
Ties that we might name. On Republicans,
eyes right, forward march.
