bD@ Republicans of Potter, we have at
the head of our columns the names of the
candidates put in nomination. by our Con-
yention, and earnestly commend them as
worthy and entitled to the support of
every member of our political faith and
party. We feel fully warranted in say
ing that the moral and pecuniary interests
of our county could net be intrusted in
safer or better hands. They ere all true
and loyal men, who used their influence
to secure the election of Abraham Lin
coin, and who are now heart and soul in
favor of Strengthening the power of the
Government to subdue the traitors with
the sword and the ball, and protesting
against compromise with rebels, that sia.
very may live and grow stronger.
r. G. WHITE, our candidate fer Pres
ident Judge, has already served term
of ten years, and none could have done
SO more acceptably. For honesty, intcg-
rity and ability, he has fully satisfied the
people. There could be no better evidence
of this than his almost unanimous nomi-
nation by the counties Of the district. His
popularity is such that none dare take the
field against him.
G. G. CoLvtN and G. s. JONES, our
candidates for Associate Judges, are men
of unimpeachable character, sound judg-
ment, every way well qualified for the
Office, reliable Republicans, and will do
honor to the position and to the people of
the county. Mr. Colvin has served the
county in a public capacity for eight
years, and for his pure fidelity to the in
terests of the people in every capacity in
which he has acted he is entitled to their
confidence and support. No one ever
justly said aught against his character for
integrity or his conduct as an officer. Mr.
Jones has never been before the people
for any office, but all who know him will
readily admit his qualifications for the
position. The einconvenience xperienced
by suitors and others, of both our Asso-
ciate Judges residing remote from the
county seat, induced the people to select
one in Coudersport. Formerly, when any
business requiring Judge was to be trans
acted, no matter how triding, the person
interested was compelled to travel a day
or two in order to accomplish it. If the
people of this county desire to elect men
of sterling worth, character and ability
to preside over the bench, then we say,
vote for G. G. Colyin and G. S. Jones.
L. S. ROBERTSON, our candidate for
County Commissioner, has been long and
favorably known by many of our people.
He is sound, practical business man, of
fne education, and will discharge the du
ties of his Office we'll and honestly. No
better man could be selected in the coun-
ty to eli this Office
L. . AUSTIN, our candidate for Coun-
ty Auditor, possesses the confidence of all
who know him. He is ready penman,
good accountant, and has the qualifca-
tions that well fit him for the Office. Dir.
Austin has rarely if ever occupied a pub
lie Office, bat we know him to be honest
and capable He merits the united sup
port of all who are interested in the pro-
per conduct of our finances.
W. G. BLAKEsLEE, our candidate for
Coroner, is worthy citizen, possessing a
character above reproach, intelligent and
capable to discharge the duties of the
Office in a satisfactory manner. He is
one of our truest and most active Repub
licans.
Republicans If you wish to elect hon.
est and faithful officers and sustain your
principles and party, vote for and elect
our candidates The allies of Buchanan
and Breckinridge, under the deceptive
guise and specious cry of "Union Ticket"
are attempting to crush the Republican
party. The character Of the men who
are the actors in this movement should
be sufficient to satisfy every intelligent
citizen of their real design. They are
the same unscrupulous men that have op-
posed our party from its origin to this
day, and whose sympathies and feelings
