Our Candidates.

Our Candidates.
We delayed any particular notice Of our
candidates, until after the meeting of the
Congressional and Senatorial Conferences,
that We might notice editoSially the entire
ticket from Congressman to Auditor. These
conferences have met and adjourned without
taking any definite action on the matters be-
fore them. What their final action may be,
we are as yet unable to determine. Whatev-
er it may be, we shall cheerfully acquiesce
in, knowing as We do, that the men compos-
OF their respective counties.
Our ticket has, at its head,
FOR PRESIDENT JUDGE,
The name of VIM. Elwell, a sound lawyer,
and ripe scholar from Bradford County,
AS to his democracy, it is enough for US to
say, that after the unanimous recommenda-
tion of the entire bar of the counties compos.
ing this district, that narrow minded parti-
san, Gov. Curtin, fatty refused to appoint
him to the vacancy, because he aoas demo-
crdt. The people who are now to be consult
ed, will elect him to that office, because he
rs not black republican.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
George d. jackson of Sullivan, and John
y. Ellis of Montour, have been placed in
| nomination. Mr.. Jackson is known to the
people of this district, having represented
Them two years in the State Legislature
where by his afable and courteous manner.
and gentlemanly department, he won the es-
TEEN OF every member, and became one OF
the most influential and popular men of that
body. John G. Ellis is a farmer, of pl ain, un-
assuming manners, an intelligent, honest man
and of unimpeachable democratic antece
dents. In all these qualities he is the very
antlpode OF the Rev. Jackey, (the abolition
candidate in this county, as we'll as in phis
tq"e, oelng rather tall and spare. He will
leave the old wheeling, wind broken, round
bellied, abolition preacher SO far behind, tina
an ambition to represent the phite men O
this district will never again find lodgmen
in his crazy brain:
FOR COMMISSIONER
The party have placed in nomination The
ron Vaughn, farmer, of Mehoopany, who
in every place where he is known, needs ne
words of commentator at the hands of any
one. His careful, prudent, industrious, hon
est and upright course, has secured the con
fidencc of every man who knows him. We
predict for him, triumphant election.
| FOR TREASURER.
James r. Mullison, of Tunkhannock Town
ship is in every way worthy of, and should
receive the cordial support OF the Democrats
OF the county. He has been a consistent
straightforward democrat all his life. This
course has made him the especial subject Of
the calumny and detraction of our opponents,
whcih, in these times, is enough to satisfy
every democrat of his fidelity to the princi.
pies of our party.
| FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
The democracy have seen fit to place us,
again, IN nomination, which is some evidence
at least, that we have, heretofore, performed
the duties of that Office, to the satisfaction OF
a majority of them. That we have made no
enemies in the performance of these duties.
we cannot even hope. We have endeavorcd
to do our whole duty under our OATH the
constitution and laws, and cannot promise to
do more nor less than this, if reelected.
FOR CORONER,
DR.. j. Nj. Carey, an unfinching democrat
rom Northumberland, is nominated. He is a
young man of fine talents, and will receive
the hearty support of the democracy of the
County.
| FOR AUDITOR.
Our convention was fortunate in securing
as candidate to this neglected, though I'M
portant office, John G. Spauding of Fork
ston. Mr.. Spauldirg is ready accountant
ripe scholar and practical business man,
such as can rarely be found. His qualifca
tions, therefore, none will dispute. His de-
mocla acy is above suspicion. He will be elect
