UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.


UNION COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Union men of Sandusky county-a large
number Of respectable and intelligent men
assembled at the Court House in Fremont on
the 9Th inst, TO put in nomination candidates
for the offices of the county. The meeting was
one of great interest, and harmony and good
feeling characterized all their deliberations
(The official report will be found in another
place.) All the townships were represented in
the convention, and the ticket nominated is as
strong and good as any ever presented for the
suffrages of the voters of Sandusky county
We believe and confidently assert that the tick
pet tciH DO el6ctcd. The candidates are
For Representative-OLIvER MoINrYRE, of
Green Greek township. Mr.. Mcintyre was
70 rmerly a Democrat, but Immediately upon
the breaking out of the Rebellion announced
himselfa Union man, and throughout the whole
time his acts and conversation have proven him
A man who has the love of his country more at
heart than the ties of party. He is a fit man to
represent Sandusky county in the Legislature
of Ohio. He is for putting down the rebellion
at whatever cost or hazards. The voters OF this
county need never fear Mr. Mcintyre going
over to the traitors after he has taken his seat in
the Legislature. He is well known throughout
the county and will pole strong vote.
For Auditor, OSCAR BALL was renominated. -
His official acts for the last two years is sufi-
cient recommend for Mr. Ball. no stronger or
better man could be found and, in his office will
be found the proof of our statement.
n
worthy Sheriff was renominated 1t is not
speaking in too high praise of Mr. Ferguson to
say that he has made the best Sheriff the county
ever had, and If the people desire an efficient
and faithful officer they will re-elect Mr. Fergu-
son. and we have not a doubt but what they
will do so.
For Treasurer, CHARLES G. GREENE, of Jack
son township was nominated. Mr.. g. is emi-
nenty qualified to fill the position with credit
to himself and safety to the people; they all
know the honest farmer of jackson.
For Probate Judge, NM S. RussKLs, of York
township. We consider this nomination most
fortunate one, for had the whole county been
looked over, more fit man could not have been
found. A man of sound judgment, ability and
mental capacity to do the important duties of
the Probate Court. Ask his neighbors, and
they viii tell you William s. Russell, is the
soul of honor and one of the best men in the
county.
For Clerk Of tie Court, MADISON W. ST. CLAIR,
Of this town. A young man of good character,
excellent business qualifications and ready
writer. He will keep the records of the Court
in the best possible order
For Commissioner, OARM g. SANFORD, of
Townsend. The Office of Commissioner is one
of the most important of any in the county: for
through his hands must every claim against the
county pass; hence the selection of competent
man is highly necessary and we feel that such
man is Mr.. Sanford
For Prosecuting Attorney II. W. WINsLow,
the present incumbent, who has shown by his
record before the Court that his duties have
been well performed.
For Surveyor, JEREMIAH Evans, of Fremont
thorough and experienced civil engineer.
For Infrmary Director, LEVI FouGHr, of
Washington township. The care and direction
of the County Farm ought to have the attention
of thorough, practical farmer, and such an one
is Mr.. Fought. and we feel confident that he will
see that that institution of our county is here
after well managed and with less extravaganza
and cost to the people.
For Coroner A. B. CooKE, of Scott, GENTLE
man well fitted to perform the duties of Sheriff
should it become necessary for him to act in that
capacity.
Voters Of sandusky county, your ticket is
now before you. We pronounce it frst-rate
selection of frst-rate, capable, honest men, in
whom you can safely rely; and who viii each
and all do their several duties with honor to
themselves and credit to the county, and the en-
tire satisfaction Of the taxpayers.
Let as all now see to it that these men are
elected, To do it every Union man must put
his own shoulder to the wheel, and persuade his
neghbor to do the sans. 1t will do no good 10
say that the Union men Of Sandusky county
have a majority Of three hundred votes, and then
fail to get them out on election day. Union
votes do not count until they are deposited in
the ballot-bOx. Seek ihon TO have theu all
there.
The contest this fall win be one of the most
important ever witnessed in Ohio. The State
must be saved to the Union cause, and the only
way 10 do Il Is TO vote for the Union ticket with
the name Of joss BRoUoH at the head and all
the names following it.
sapdusky county can give Union ma
io1ity Of 300 votes and we want the Union
men q come out in their strength and do it,
