The Union Candidates.

The ticket of the Union party for the State
election is now fully made up. For Governor
no more sterling, whole-souled, high-minded
and patriotic man lives than SAMUEL CoNY.
Last year he was elected by over 1900 mai
GRITTY. The people have found him all that
could be DESIRED and on Monday next will ex-
press their approval of his personal worth, his
private virtues and his official capabilities and
fidelity by a majority of the most flattering
character.
For Representatives to Congress the Union
men of the state propose strong ticket. SID
NEY PERHAM, JAMES G. BLAINE, JOHN II.
RICE, and FREDERICK PIKE have been tried,
found faithful, efficient, trustworthy, and the
people will express their approval BY return
ing them to the House with increased major
tiles.
In ths-the 1st-District only, Is new man
presented, but he is a man of whom the peo-
pie will never be ashamed. JOHN LYNCH, for
all the duties of faithful, efficient represent
alive of practical commercial, manufactur-
ing and agricultural constituency, is as well
qualified as any man in the District, and will
not only do Justice to that constituency but
reflect lasting honor upon himself. He is
tried faithful and honest man, who knows his
rights and the rights of his people, and know
ing, dares maintain them. he will never be
focnd demanding what is not clearly right; he
will never submit, If possible to avoid it, to
what is wrong. Such is the candidate for the
LIST District, and his election we look upon as
certain as any future event.
For Senators our columns show that wise
selections have been made. There viii be
giants In that branch of the legislature. Stew
art, Tenney, Manson, and many others we
might single out, are men of large experience
and of commanding talents.
The ticket for Cumberland, though made up
of new men for that branch, is not weak
Que. Tho candidates have had experience in
the other branch, which will make the duties
of legislation no difficult matters with them.
GEO. w. WooDMAN is one Of our first mer-
chants; well known to the people of the coun-
ty. He served last winter in the House and
served well. SAMUEL A. HoLBRooK was in
the last House of Representatives, and proved
himself an able, efficient and faithful servant
OF the people. With the other two, GEORGE
PIERCE and DANIEL T. RICHARDSON, we
have not the pleasure of a personal acquaint-
ance, but hear OF both an excellent report, and
that they are gentlemen who will do honor to
the County of Cumberland.
The County nominations are such as were
eminently fit to be made. GEO. w. PARKER,
candidate for Sheriff, is a young man of great
promise; a man who will meet the expecta-
tions of those who propose to give him their
support. The candidate for Treasurer, Pc
TER II. HALL, is a gentleman of integrity
aud precisely such a man as is needed to fill
the place so acceptably filled for the past
year by Mr.. Mead, who declined renomina-
ton. EUGENE HUMPHREY, the nominee for
Register OF Probate-the present incumbent
lis ''the right man in the right place, 'and it
would be little short of public calamity to
have him fail of reelection. But he will
not fail: his election is a sure thing. The
candidate for commissioner, CALEB A. CHAP
LIN, is gentleman well recommended, and
though weare unacquainted with him person.
ally, we have no doubt of his eminen. fitness
for the place, and that his election is one OF
the certain events of the future.
Such are the candidates of the Union par
ty. They are men for whomlthe people may
vote without hesitancy or misgiving; men
whose election will rebound to the honor of
the County and State, which should be Sc
cured by overwhelming majorities.
