The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1863-08-25

For Representative, the Convention
has presented the name of d. D. HoL.
BRIDGE, Mr.. HoLDRIDGE has heretofore
acted with the Republican party, and, OF
course, his loyalty and devotion to the
government is undoubled He is a
young man Of unquestioned ability, OF
the most unexceptiorable habits, of good
legal knowledge, of popular address, and
one who will be faithful to the Interests
Of the people. AS man he is much
liked here at home, and all have conf
dence in his integrity. He is a fair
speaker, and a ready debater, and will,
we think, be popular and influential
member Of the legislature.
1t is unnecessary that we should say
word in favor of our nominee for
County Judge, Judge BARTON. The
fact that he was re-nomina,ed BY acra-
nation, proves that the people know and
appreciate him. Fully competent for
his duties, he is also one Of The best OF
men, morally and socially. Everybody
likes him, and we trust, everybody will
vote for him who has right to.
L. B. OLDER, the present Treasurer, is
nominated for re election, This position
of Treasurer is one Of the most difficult
and thankless thai ever a man got into
ItJequires worlHof patience, Of good
nature, and Of suavity, as well as quick
ness OF calculation, and facility in grasp
ing the details Of land sub division. II
he who fills it does not possess these
! qualilies--is not essentially clear headed
and correct in his habits Of business
then he is fated to be constantly in h OF
water-is sure to be the subject Of male
dlcuons from tax payers, and to prove a
Stumbling block to the party which elect
ed him. More care should be exercise d
! in the selection Of Treasurer than o.
any other officer, for mole OF good or il
TO the people, is involved IN that selec
ton. Thinking thus, we cannot but re
juice most heartily over the action O
Fridays convention We honestly be
lieve that with the exception, perhaps, 0
DR.. BREWER, no man in the county is SC
well adapted, by virtue Of correct and
careful business habits, by CELEBRITY anC
precision on the duties of the position
by equanimity of temper and habits 0
courtesy, tor the position of Treasurer
as E. B OLDER. His integrity is un
questioned, aud it does seem TO us Ina
no man could present more of the quail
iicatons of good Treasurer, than Mr.
OLDER. The Convention appreciated
the fact, and we are sure that the penpl.
will also.
Sheriff WE-rFALL has a right to b.
| proud of the cordial endorsement which
he received a the hands Of the conyen
'ion-only one vote being cast agains
| him. 1t seems TO be wonderful that ;
man should be able to perform the IN
palatable duties of Sheriff without max
ing an enemy, and yet that seems to b,
Mr.. WEsTFALL's case. We have ncve
heard word against him, as an officer
and the vote in Convention seems 10 in
dictate that there has been none such
JouN will get, AS he deserves, heart,
endorsement from The people.
For County Superintendent Of Com
mon Schools, Rev GEORGE GEMMELL. O
Quasqueton, has been selected Mr.
GEMMELL has always taken great inter
est in educational matters, has an init
innate, practical knowledge Of our edu
cational laws, and will bring to the du
ties no small amount Of z-al aud ability
We believe him to be the right man il
he right place, and we are sure the PEG
pie wi do well in his election.
For Surveyor the old incumbent. Mr.
WARREN, OF Buffalo Grove, is nominated
He is competent and worthy.
For Coroner, Mr.. JonN II. CAMPBELL
was put in nomination, but AS he peremp
torily declines, the Central Commute la
substituted the name OF l.. s. Books. O
Byron Township. Mr. Brooks is wei
qualified for better position.
That's the ticket and it is worthy o
the large vote il is destined to receive.
