CUR COUNTY TICKET.

We are enabled this week to place along
with our State Ticket, the Democratic County
ticket nominated on Saturday last, and we can
truly say that it is as good end strong a, ticket
as-was ever nominated in the county.
WIN. LARw1LL, the nominee for Representa-.
tive, is a man cf more than usual ability, q
Democrat that never .swcrved in the faith, and
one, who, in our State councils, will exert an
influence that will be known and felt.
= r. VIM. G. HELFMAN, the nominee for Clerk
Is well know to most of our citizens. He has
been repeatedly elected township clerk, and in
that capacity, as well as in all his business re-
~Iations, he has shown his ability to conduct
the onsrous and complieated duties of County
CLERK.
HENRY B. HERSHEY, our nominee for
Treasurer, was appointed to the position upon
the death of his brother, and is the present
Incumbent. His brother had, before his death,
been elected for the term now to be given to
Henry B. Hershey. On this account, as well
as from the able aud g%entlemanly manner in
which he has already conducted the affairs of
the Office, he received a very large vote for
the nomination.
For Probate Judge, Re7. ". A. G. EMER-
SON received the nomination. That he is
abundantly able to transact the business of the
Office, and hat he will do it with that popular
and accommodating manner that has ever char
acte1ized him, there is no doubt
john VAN NEST, the nominee for Commits.
sioner, is well known throughout the county
His business qualifications are of the highest
order, and under his management, with that
of the present incumbents, there is surety that
the affairs of the county viii be well conduct.
ed.
The nominee for Infrmary Director is JAS.
MoNAuLL, and for Coroner, Captain JOHN
WooDBURN. They are both well qualified
for the duties they will be called upon to per-
form, and, with the balance of the ticket, will
be triumpbantly elected
In all, as We before said, we have as good a
ticket as was ever nominated in the county
There was an unusually large number Of ap
plieants for the different positions. As a mat.
ter of course, under such circumstances some
must be defeated. a fact we noticed in con
nection with the canvass. It was, that but
few persons had mede up their minds how to
Eots whsn they came to the polls. The gen.
cral expression was, "oR the candidates are
good men and [ hate to vote against any of
them" But it was necessary that some choice
should be made and hence very slight circum-
stances changed results. One candidate was
poor and needed it, while another could get
along. One lived in a portion of the county
that had no pther candidate. One had some
claim under Democratic rule Thus it run.
And We have no hesitation in saying that not
q man, of all those defeated, ras defeated on
account of any question of his ability, popu
lari,y, or Democracy. No man could go amiss.
Those who received the smallest rotes would
have made as good officers as those who re-
eeiyed the larger. We know this could not
be said generally. but at this tiineit wce en-
phatically the case.
The ticket nominated will receive the cor.
dial support Of all the candidates and their
friends. When The announcement was made
that Heltman was nominated for Clerk, his
competitor, Robert Campbell, Esq, moved that
the nomination be made unanimous. So with
several of the others.
We start upon this campaign with more as
surance of unanimous action and a hwge ma
jority than we ever did before.
