F. For Assembly, we have DR. c. r. E,uu
OF Elk county, and Geo. W, ZrarR, Esq.
'or jefferson county. Both of these gen.
tlemen are ready known TO many Of OIL
, citizens Dr. Early is a gentleman of ex,
, tracrdinary industry, fair tolonts, sound
Democratic principles aud unbounded
personal popularity at home. The charge
OF Know Nothing.sm made against him is
, as unfair as it is mean and cor temptible
1t is true that like many Of the first Dem
ocrats of this vicinity, whom we could
/, name, were It necessafy- he was inyeig.
led into partial initiation into the order
but discovering that its object was polti-
cal, he Immediately withdrew.
This statement we make by the author
ity of one who knows, and who defes its
contradiction.
DR.. Early Las neve: failed to yield a
whole-souled support to the Democratic
ticket ever since he became a voter, and
richly deserves the support of every Dem>
ocrat.
Mr.. Ziegler is a leading member of the
i,,p =. "a, Of f.1npf i
we'd one or two sessions in the legislature.
should these two gentlemen be elected we
are quite sure the interests of the people
of this district will lie much better atten-
dcd to than they have been for several
years.
EDwAGD PERKS. our candidate for Sher-
if, is well known 10 the people of the
county. He is a native of our county and
through his extraordinary energy and in
dustry, he has worked his way, alone and
unaided TO comfortable circumstances, and
was ever ready, with a willing hand and a
cheerful heart, to assist those who needed
assistance. His election is almost certain,
and that he will make one of the most ex>
ce.lent officers We have ever had, is be-
yound doubt.
JAMES BLOOM, Sr., and JoHN D. THoNP-
soS, our candidates for Associate Judges,
are too we'll known to require any recon-
mendation from u.s. Mr.. Bloom, is now
an old man, and was the first white male
child born in the county, and belongs to
one Of the most numerous, industrious
and enterprising families Of the county
who have paid full Share OF the taxes,
and borne a full share Of the. burtEens Of
the county but very small.share OF the.
offices. Mr.. Thompson We believe is a.
native ofthe county-sOn of the late lg>
natius Thompson, is most worthy and
upright citizen, and exccllently well quail
ifcd for the position.
JosEPH SHAW, another "native.born"-
son of Hon. r. Shaw, of this place is our
candidate for County Treasurer. Like
the Blooms, the Shlws were among the
FIRST settlers, and likewise performed their
full share in bufFeting the har'lships me-
cessarily encountered in building up our
county to its preseut position; and like
wise without receiving a fair share of the
offices. Joseph Shaw is a worthy and in
dustrious farmer of Lawrence township, |
and is well qualified for the position as
signed for him.
JACOB KUNTz, our candidate for COM |
missioner, is native of Germany but
has resided in this county for over thirty |
years-so that even tie iliberal resrric- [
tions of Enou -Nothinsism would not
reach him. He is one of our most enter
prising and intelligent citizens, and in
whose hands the interests Of the county
will be entirely ste.
For District Attorney we have ISRAEL
TEST, Esq, who, if not a na'ise of the coun-
ty, comes within one 0! it, as he was born
in Philipsburg. lie is too well known to
require further notice-as his eloquent
appeals in support of Democratic prinoi-
piles have been Lemd from almost every
stump" in the county.
Col. WoRkELL, our candidate for Coun-
ty Auditor is equally well known; and
we may here state that he is candidate
against his expressed wish-thot, upon
seeing his name announced as candidate
he addressed us a letter, requesting us to
withdraw his name. This we submitted
to the persons who had announced his
name They declined 20 withdraw it
fnd hence his nomination. The people
of the county should not forget that this
is one Of ;he most important offices in
.neir gift.
DR.. Potter, our candidate for Coroner,
is native ofClarion county, is a young
uan of excellent talents-great energy,
