North Branch democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Pa.) 1854-1867, 1863-09-02
Our Ticket.


The ticket formed at our County Conven-
tion on Monday, and to-day placed at the
head Of ourcolumns is a good strong one and
will not fail to receive the hearty support of
every Democrat in the County.
AHIRA GAY, our candidate for sheriff is a
man upon whose record as a citizen, and
conscientious unfinching Democrat, there is
not spot or stain. His claims upon the
party are based upon life long devotion to
its principles. and service to its success. A
more Jealous and faithful advocate it never
had. To say that he deserves the office. and
will do honor to it, and himself, would only
be saying what every man who is acquainted
with him, already knows, acknowledges, and
will act upon. His election is certain.
Ii. L. FURGERsoN, our candidate for Pro-
thonotary, is an active, energetic business
man. Having for many years been an acting
Justice of the Peace, and as an officer, and
in the capacity of local Attorney for his neigh
bors, been extensively engaged in the draw
ing up of contracts, Leases and Legal instru-
ments of all kinds he will assume the duties
OF the office, to which he has been nominated
and will certainly be elected with little if
any of the diffdence and difficulties which
ne men frs feel and experience As
Democrat he is as firm as the rocks and hills
of the Township he halls from. We know
him, and the people who have presented him
to the Democracy of the county, well and
we feel warranted in saying, that no man
will ever regret ever having given his voice
and vote to elect him.
LEWIS PARISH, the candidate for REGISTER
and Recorder, as will be seen by the publish
ed proceedings of the convention. was q
prominent candidate for the office of Pro.
thoHotary. He is young man who by dint
of perseverance has acquired good educa-
ton; and by his honesty, straight forward
and gentlemanly conduct, has a stronghold
upon the confidence and affection OF all who
know him.
EDWIN STEPHENS the nominee for commits
sioner is a man whose talents and sagacitv
as business man peculiarly qualities him
tor the position to which he is nominated
lie was not present at the convention never
asked or aspred to this, or any other county
Office. His nomination will surprise no one
more than himself. The office sought the man.
not the man the Office. No better evidence
than this could be adduced of his fitness for
the position. That he will be a faithful
guardian of the interests of the county, no
man who knows him can doubt.
DR. J. c. BECKER, Our candidate for coro-
ner-a German by birth and education-is
a highly educated ana accomplished man !;
and one Of the most eminent surgeons in
the country, The Office though important
in many places and necessary everywhere,
in this county is almost and we have reason.
to hope will be a sinccure as to employment.
if not in emoluments. 4 more competent
man for the Office could not have been Sc
lected,
HENRY NEwCoNB, one Of the candidates
for Auditor is a man with whom we are but
slightly acquainted; but living as he does,
in FactoryvIlle, it is sufficient for us to know
that his fidelity to Democratic principles
has been unshaken amid all the fanaticism
bigotry, and intolerance with which he has
has been surrounded,
E. D. FAssETT, the other candidate for au-
ditor is a ready, accountant and ripe scholar
Though quite young man, he will bring
more than ordinary talents TO the perform
lnce of the duties of this very important,
though, comparatively proftless Office
