Our Union Candidates for Ccun-
~ Offices.
Tho Union Convention of This county has
been held and the result of its deliberations
is now before the people. The Con-
vontion was remarkable both as to number,
the honorable character OF its members and
the fraternal conciintory spirit everywhere
displayed It was no assemhagc ofpolitical
gamblers, oIficc-seekers and wirc-pullers
hut it was meeting of the people, the hon
est, responsible, tox-paying, industrious and
hardfsted yeomen of the county, whose sons
and brothers are noby battling for our
rights, and who for once thought it ncces-
sary to leave their farms, stores and Offices
TO look after their public interests. As
might he expected, the candidates for the
several offices are of tho right stamp. They
are all men of tried honor and integrity. men
who have made a reputation 10y constant
and honorable career of many years among
us. In fact so well are they all known that
they need no introduction to the people of
the county from us. The candidate for
Auditor is
ADDISON SMITH.
This gentleman has served the county as
Auditor, at different times, during many
terms. No man is moro dcsorvcdly popular,
and no man i'll the county is anything like
so well acquainted with the arduous duties
of that responsible Office. His past official
conduct is u sufficient guarantee for the
future, and the large majority of votes cast
for him in the Peoples Union Convention
affords the clcarest proof that public conf
dence in him is unboundcd.
JonY c. WOOSTER,
The Union candidate for Treasurer, is an
enterprising and dcscrvedly influential citi-
zen of Bowling Green. For years past he
has been regarded as leading Democrat of
the county. He was their candidate for
Treasurer in 1857, and received much more
than his party vote at that time. lie was ono
the foremost to see the necessity of the
Union movement, and gladly laid aside par
ty at his country's call. Possessing an am
pie fortune, Mr., Wooster was never a seek
CT after Office, and, previous to his nomino-
ton, we are assured that he never cxprcss-
cd TO any one a disire to be nominated. He
accepts this token of public confidence with
gratitude deeming it all the more pleasing
because unsought Mr.. Wooster is an cx-
cellent scholar, a good accountant, and
thorough business man. His integrity is
unsullied, and he ould sooner give thous-
ands than gain a dollar unfairly. The pco-
pie may with safety place the utmost con-
tdoncc both in his honesty and financial
ability.
JonN L, MCGowAN,
Tho Union candidate for Prosecuting At
torney, is a we'll known lawyer of Gilcad in
this county. At the first sound of wars
tocsin, while the people We're yet stunned
with the war of Sumpter's cannon, he oban-
doucd fair legal businoss-said good bye"
to wife and baby-shouldercd his muskct
(but the boys made him lieutcnanN and left
for the field of danger and of glory. The m-
mediate danger TO Washington being rcmov-
ed and the foe whipped in Western Virginia,
he could no longer disregard the pressing
demands of his private business and return
cd once more to peaceful pursuits. All
honor to the brave! Mac will be trium.
phantly elected, Wood county will secure a
faithful officer, while the people in support.
ing him can show by their votes that they
know how to reward the dangers, the tolls
and the hardships of soldier.
ADDISON LANsDALE,
The Union nominee for Commissioner. is
resident and thriving merchant of Prairie
Depot, good business man and Unor
Democrat. He is still young, but has mad,
himself handsome competence by his owl
industry and perseverance, Such are tn,
proper men to be entrusted with public bus
mess. We cannot but have more confidence
in those who have shown themselves capa
BILE of being the architect Of their own fol
tunes, than those who having run througI
their own estates, ask to manage the pee
ples affairs for them. This is especially +
be considered in the choice of q Commission
er. Judging by tins test, and sharing tn
confidence reposed in Mr.. Lansdale by
large circle of business aequaintences, W
have no hesitancy in recommending as q i
candidate for the votes of our people.
We shall labor diligently and use all proI
er and honorable means to secure the su,
eess of the Union Ticket. We regard it d
a good one in evory sense Of the word.
