The Ticket.


We sit down to write this article. in bet
ter humor with call the world and the rest
of mankind" than we have been for years.
Thank God the Democracy of Cambria are
a unit once more. The dead past has buried
its dead, and the friends of the Union and
Constitution, in the Mountain county, are
arrayed, like band of brothers, beneath that
time -honored and invineble banner, under
which they so often, in days gone by, fought
aud triumpted The Convention was COM
posed of the right kind of men, as the result
of their labors fully prove. They refused to
listen to outside dictation, determined to fear
lesSly perform the duty that had been en-
trusted to them by the Democracy of Cambria.
They merit the unanimous thanks of their
constituents.
The ticket is composed of the very best men
IN our county. 1t is true that, in every case,
our first choice was not nominated. But that
amounts to nothing. We go into the cam
paign with no friends to reward, no enemies
to punish aud during the contest we will
know nothing but the ticket--the whole
ticket.
The nominee for Assembly is Cyrus L.
Pershing, Esq, of Johnstown. He is no
stranger to the people of Cambria. They
know him well, and will, we are certain, whe-
ther Democrats or Republicans, admit that he
is honest and capable of filling the Office with
more than ordinary ability. He has never
been demagogue or factionist, and as a man
and politician, is no: only pure but above sus
pieion. He is an amiable gentleman, radi
cal Democrat and pure patriot; why, then,
should not every Democrat rejoice at his nom
ination
John Buck, of Carroll .p., our nominee fol
Sheriff, is a man whom it is impossible t.
know and not esteem. Strict and uubendiDg
integrity characterizes his every action, while
remarkable energy is displayed in pushing
forward his private business. This is The
best evidence We can have that he will max,
an excellent officer. His competitors for tht
nomination were able and good men, and i
either of them had been nominated, it woulc
have afforded US much pleasure to labor 70
bis election. The triumphant election of Mr.
Buck VIC confidently set down as foregon
conclusion
For Treasurer, We have Thomas Calm Q
Johnstown. 4 better nomination could no
have been made. He will, if elected, max
an excellent officer. Around him the Democ
racy of Cambria can to a man rally. Go t
work, Democrats, and labor zealously to sc
cure his success
Our nominees for Associate Judges ar
good men and true. G. W. Easily, Esq ha
