borough, but latel ely citizen Of the North
em part Of the county, was nominated for
reelection. MIR. Ketterman b highly spo-
ken of as surveyor, being good draughts-
man and well versed in all that relates to
the duties of the office for which he is cam
didate. Socially Mr.. Ketterman has many
friends and will make an excellent run. His
majorities at former elections are indicative
Of his popularity.
For District Attorney, the Convention
nominated, by acclamation, JOHN PAL
MER, Esq, of the legal firm of Hall and
Palmer. In the nomination of Mr.. Palmer,
the Convention conferred well deserved
honor upon a young, but true and tried
Democrat. We need but say in regard to
this member of the ticket, that if energy
and decision of character, cultivated intel
lect, and taste for the legal profession, can
make good District Attorney, the Convell-
ton have not mistaken their man.
For County Commissioner, we have AN
DREW CRISMAN, of Napier, genial,
strong-minded, whole-souled Andy. Eve
ry body comedies that he is well qualified
for the Office, and almost every body intends
TO vote for him. Andy Crisman never was
an office-seeker. He has grown gray in the
Democratic service, without ever pressing
his claims upon the party. This is as it
should be-the office seeking the man, not
the man the office.
Fer Poor Director and Auditor, the Con-
vention selected, respectively, SOLOMON
REIGHARD, Of Snake Spring, and JOHN
Fl. BARTON, of East Providence, both
good citizens and prominent Democrats.
But our space forbids further comment, and
we can only say, in closing, that we hearth
ly recommend the whole ticket to the sup
port of the Democracy of the county.
Hon. w. P. ScHEL1-By reference to
the proceedings Of the Democratic County Con-
vention, it will be seen that Hon w. p Schell,
| of this place, has been recommended by that
body, for the office of Auditor General. The
nomination of Mr.. Schcll would be hailed with
enthusiasm and delight in this section of the
state, and should his friends succeed in prevail
ing upon him 70 accept the nomination, if ten
dered, we can safely predict for him an over
whelming vote in this and neighboring counties.
