Senator, We have already spoken. Firm
in the principles Of our party, and nomi-
mated for an important Office, he is enti-
tied to the support of the PEOPLE OF the
district. Shrewd and intelligent, bold and
fearless, vigilant and watchful, a good par
liamentarian and a ready dcbater, the in
terests of Cambria, Blair and Clearfield
will not suffer in his hands During the
next three years, United States Senator
must be chosen. Vote for tho man who
will vote against Biglerl Elect the man
who may defeat Bigler! Our word for it,
you will never regret the act.
OF RICHARD J. PRoUDFooT, our can
didate for Assembly, it is almost unneces-
sary for us to speak. His name is as IA
miliar to the People of Cambria county as
household words. All who enjoy his ac-
quaintance can readily testify to his many
good qualities. One of the early settlers of
our county, he has studied our People, and
understands full we'll their wants and in
NSASSNn'" NNSui') q oCN@H Ia NA-S i>NSoA-'
lature last winter, he represented his con-
stituents with the greatest acceptance
All without distinction Of Party will con-
cede to him the highest abilities as leg
islator. lie is a thinker and worker a
man Of the People and FIR the People.
He Will be returned to Harrisburg this
winter with tremendous majority.
HOWARD J. RoBERTs is our candidate
for Prothonotary. OF him, it is difficult
to speak with that praise which is so just
ly his due. As a man, he is justly ad-
mired BY all who know him-and their
name is legion. AS an officer, his abili-
ties cannot be questioned. The office Of
Prothonotary will be no new field of labor
to him. A three-ycars' service in it as
the Clerk and successor of Milton Rob
orts, has faIniliarized him with its oncrous
and responsible duties. The People well
remember the manner in which he dis
charged those duties; but the records of
our courts, during that period, will fur
nish his best panegyric. We do not wish
to disparage any Prothonotary, whcth-
er past or present, but re hesitate not to
say, that there lives not another man in
Cambria county so well fitted in every re
spect to perform the duties Of that Office,
as Howard j. Roberts. The majority
which he will receive will be a just tribute
to a deserving man.
In JOsEPu II. CANrBELL, our candi-
date for District Attorney, We have . man
well fitted by nature and education to repre-
sent the Commonwealth in her prosecutions
against vice and crime. He has already Civ
en- thebest evidence Of his skilland ability
as lawyer, and, although quite young
man, must soon attain to an enyiable po-
sition at the bar of our courts His pri-
vate character is without spot or blcmish
In his hands the public morals will be
well cared for; the majesty of violated
laws Will be vindicated; and the perpetra-
tors Of crimes and nisdemeanors will not
90 unwhipt of justice. Let him be cleo
ted by large majority!
DAVID j. JONES is our candidate for
Treasurer. The Office for which he is
nominated is one in which the People
have deep interest. The Public purse
may be safely lodged in Mr.. Jones hands
His qualifications for the post are ample,
and his character for honesty and integrity
is above suspicion. The People of our
county will show their appreciation of a
good man by voting for and electing him.
ENos C. MMULLEN, our candidate for
Commissioner, is a practical farmer, man
of much intelligence, good business habits.
and withal a most excellent man. We
cannot see that our convention could pos
sibly have made wiser nomination for
this important office. Mr. MMullen is so
well acquainted with our county and our
people that he is just the man to keep
watch and ward over their interests.
Vote for him, one and all.
JOSEPH S. STRAYER, our candidate for
Poor House Director; PETER KAYLoR
and EDWARD f. LYTLE, our candidates
for Auditors; EDWIN A VICKRoY, our
candidate for County Surveyor; and
JAMES PURSE, our candidate for Coroner.
