the delegates nom the several towns. according
TO the districting made several years SINCE
holding separate meetings and presenting the
result Of their action to the whole convention.
The candidate from the western District, Hon
N. @. Marshall Of York, II will be remembered
was once Sheriff of the County and in that CO.
pacity made most acceptable officer. He has
unusual business qualifications, Is . thorough
going Republican, and will make most valua-
bic legislator.
The candidate selected from the "0ssipee
District" JOHN II. GoopESow. Esq, OF Alfred,
has had legislative experience having represent
d the representative district Of Alfred and
Kennebunk in the Legislature. He Is, Is our
readers generally know, lawyer by profess
sion, and although young man comparative
ly, has already secured for himself. by his abil-
ity and manly bearing an enviable reputation
In the county.
Leonard Andrews ESD, Of Biddefsrd, Is the
third on the ticket, land we speak Of them in
the order of their selection.) He received near
ly every vote in the convention. Mr.. Andrews
Is too well known in the county to require COM
mendation from us. The vote by which ne was
selected indicates more truly than our pen can
the estimation in Ehich he is held by the lie
publicans Of the county. Ne has had legisla-
tive experience, is good debater, and enjoys
the confidence and respect Of the entire COM
munity in which he resides. We may say with
perfect safety, that ticket for Senator made
up as is the Republican, may be voted for with
confidence by every voter in the county, and II
elected, as We doubt not 1t will be by mjori-
~ Of from 600 to 1000 votes, 1t will be as able
n Senatorial representation as ever was sent
from Old York to the councils Of the State.
Hon. L. Z. Bourne was renominated for
Judge Of Probate. The propriety ofthis selec-
ton is self evident. In offices Of this kind 1t Is
well always to retain persons who by their gen.
eral character for probity, high legal qualhca-
tons, ability and other requisites have secured
the respect and confidence ofthe entire commu-
nifty. The convention in rc-nomipating Judge
Bourne, who has served the public to the salts
faction Of all for the past four years, have but
discharged manifest duty.
The convention il will be perceived placed
the old Treasurer, s. X. Roberts Esq, in NOM
nation by large vote. Mr.. Roberts has rem.
derei himself familiar with the duties OF the Of
fee, and his selection is probably owing to q
feeling which pervaded the convention, that
when the county had secured man faithful
and competent as Mr.. Roberts has proved him
self to belt was good policy to retain him long
CT.
We have not the pleasure Of an intimate ac-
quaintance with the gentleman nominated for
Sheriff, Geo. Goodwin, Esq. lie resides In Wells
and we understand maintains the highest char
acter for honesty and uprightness in the COM
munity IN which he lives. He is said to be pos
sessed of the requisite business qualifications
and We doubt not will make good public off,
Ger.
Our young friend and townsman. Geo. II.
Knowlton Esq, is the nominee for Register OF
Probate. Although he is indebted somewhat
to the activity Of the young Republicans OF the
county for his nomination, yet We can say, as
the vote will testify. also that even the older
members the party will say that 1t is"a
fit to be made" Mr.. Knowlton's
only fault is that he Is young man, but he is
gradually surrounding this, day by day; the
Republicans Of York and especially those who
know that he possesses in full measure every
other requisite qualification, will "put him
through" with q real that will be entirely sat
isfactory TO the Young America who enlisted
SO generously and iealously in his support in
the convention.
The nominee for the Office Of County Com
missioner, John Hemmenway Esq, Of shap-
leigh, we have known for many years, and We
are safe in commencing him to the cheerful
support Of the Republicans Of York. He Is an
able business man. has the confidence OF the
community in which he resides and will make
an efficient and faithful public officer.
We cannot close this article on the conveu-
ton and its nominees without again congratu-
lating the Republicans Of York on the auspic-
ious prospects they have for another and still
more marked triumph in the county. "Our
cause is just, our union perfect" and we know
Of no reason, II proper eIertion is made, why
our majority in the county may not reach q
thousand on our county ticket. In the large
attendance at the convention, the real manifes-
ted and above all in the general harmony and
good feeling that prevailed, we see the evidence
Of that sound and healthy condition Of the par
ty that inspires confidence and which lead to
the happiest results.
