THE COUNTY, TICKET.


We publish to-day, the proceedings Cf the
Republican County Convention, held at this
place, OF the I'd inst. The resolutions adopt
ed by that body, we think will fnd response
in the heart of every true patriot They speak
for themselves, and we commend them to the
careful perusal of our readers.
The ticket placed in nomination by the Con
vention, is one to which every true Republican
and Patriot can give his undivided support
Hon U. MERcUR, the candidate for President
Judge, is a gentleman Of sterling worth and
undoubted integrity-a man in every partCu-
lar qualified for the position for which be is
named. He has been long and faE orably
known to the people of the District, as a man
whose character is beyond reproach, and whose
reputation is above suspicion. He will, no
doubt, receive the unanimous nomination of
the Judicial Conference, and, of course, be tri,
umphantly elected. AS Mr.. mERCuR's legal
abilities are so we'll known, it is unnecessary
for US to speak of them.
The denomination of MeSsrS. TRACY and
Bliss, for the Legislature, is well deserved
Compii ment. and we are sure meets with gen
eral appreciation. They are gentlemen who
have been tried and found not want lug, and
whom even the democrats in their late Con
venti0u, pronounced good and faithful ser
waits and We trust they will receive the de-
served support of the party. They have prov
ed themselves true to their constituents, in ev-
cry instance, and we trust theft constituents
will prove true to them, by giving them the
support which they have merited by their up
right and honest course, during the last ses
sion of the Legislature. AS we shall speak
Of them hereafter, we defer farther comment
for the present.
Mr.. V. NJ LoNd, the nominee for Associate
Judge, needs no recommendation from our pen
He Is an old resident of the county, and has
been long and favorably known to the people,
md will undoubtedly receive the undivided
support of the party. He is gentleman well
qualified for the position for which he is nam
ed, and will discharge the duties of his Office
with fidelity and honor.
The nominee for Treasurer Mr.. FRANCIS
WATTS, is o gentleman with whom We are in
tmately acquainted, and can recommend him
to the support aud confidence Of the peo-
pie, as a gentleman of honesty, integrity,
promptness aud discretion. He is a man emf
penty fitted for the position assigned him. and
will make a faithful aud competent officer.
The nomination Of Mr. Isaac LYONS for
Commissioner, is uuquestiouahy judicous
selection He is emphatically the man for the
times, and we are confident that every tax-pay-
er who desires the County Treasury guarded
with vigilance and caution, will cast their vote
for him. He is man fresh from the ranks
of the people, and pre-eminenty worthy of the
confidence of his fellow citizens.
The Office of County Auditor is an impor
ant one, and requires man of practical and
business habits. The present candidate, Mr..
ROBERT Mason, is an excellent accoun tant
and practical business man, and is in every
respect well qualified for the position.
We are satisfied that better ticket could
not have been selected, and we are confident
it will receive the undivided support of the
party. We shall speak Of it again hereafter.
