him.
J. n. Chapel, our candidate for. the Assembly,
we all know. He also has been an old line Doug

to nearly every voter of the county. His character
for strict morality and sobriety is pure virgin
snow, and in striking contrast with that of his op

qualifications for the Office are at least as good as
those of his opponent. He will be elected by about
three hundred majority.
Charles Mcdonald for County Clerk is nom-
ination "emincntly fit to have been made" His
qualifications for the Office equal to those of any
man in the county, ard Union men are but serving
themselves in electing him. Wen take small bet
on his election.

hard working Union man. For the performance of
the duties Of the Office to which he aspres he is well
qualified. Of his opponent we know nothing.

the right place. For the past two years he has
discharged the duties Of County Treasurer with en-
tire satisfaction to the people. His election by
large majority is beyond doubt.
H. A. Curtiss for District Attorney, we presume
is personally known to nearly every man,
and child in the county. He is well qualified to
discharge the duties of the Office of District Attor
ney, an unconditional Union man, and will certain
ly be elected by heavy majority.
A. P. Ladd, for Assessor, is an unfinching
Union man, and quiet, unassuming, hard work

ton of Public Administrator for the past four years.
and has discharged the duties pertaining thereto to
the entire satisfaction of the people. He'll be
elected.
For Superintendent of Public Instruction, we are
the candidate. Instead of speaking of ourself, we
will tell what we know of our opponent As far as
our knowledge of him goes, he is man we'll qual
fled to fill any position in life; and herein lies
advantage nominee for Tax Collector, and
others on tcket-if we are beaten it will be by
gentleman.
