North Branch democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Pa.) 1854-1867, 1864-09-21
Our Ticket,

1t is gratifying To US that We are no W ena-
abIed to present the entire Democratic ticket
to the voters of this county.
| FIR CONGRESS.
| We present the name of Col. Y. E. Pro
LLET, of Bradford. To those who know
HIN and many of us do, it is unnecessary
that we should say one word in commenda-
ton. His past life and p ,itical course is a
sure guaranty OF what they will be in ths
future. No man could have been selected
in the dis trict, who more fully sympathizcs
with the industrial classes, and who, if elect
ed will more honestly and earnestly repre-
sent their interests aud wishes Hesis for
the common people, because he is'0f them.
Most emphaticilly rspr ssenfdf,rs man,
Let the farmers and mechanics of the 18th
Congressional District send the plain farmer,
PIoLLETT, to represent them in the national
Legislature, and they will have the proud
satisfaction Of knowing that, in that body,
there is at least one man, WAC, with enlarged
views and extensive experience in public af-
fairs, has that other most desirable qualfica-
tion-hontsty.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES
We have JOHN JACKSON Of Wyoming, and
E. E. GOULD oi Susqrehanna. We have no
personal acquaintance wit Mr.. Gould but
the confidence We have, the unalnching de-
mocracy of Susquehanna, warrants US in the
assertion that he is good man, and true
made up of the sterneSt stuff. and deserving
of the undivided support of the Democracy
of the district.
Of John Jackson who ia so well known to
the citizens of our county, we need hardly
speak Elected, as he was, one Of the first
Sherltfs ofsour county, the duties Of which
office he performed with more honor than
profit to himself--he became int timately
known to the people. What we have said of
Col. Ploette, excepting perhaps in the single
matter OF leg slarVe experience, may with
equal truth, be said of John Jackson. They
are indeed almost counterparts of each other.
Both, are extensive farmers, both are close
observers, both have strong discriminating
minds, both thoroughly sympathlze and fra
ternize with the laboring masses. With
both, the Office seeks the man, not tae man
the Office.
Taken together they will make the ablest
longest, strongest team that ever walked into
the halls OF legsla tion. from this district and
county, Let's run them in and with them
trample down and crush to the earth, those
vampires of fraud and corruption, who for
years have been sucking away the very life
blood of the state and the nation.
FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE
Dr.. John V. Smith Is nominated DR..
Smith has been a physician and surgeon, in
active practice, in our county, for nearly for
ty years; OF his character as a man, and
qualifications for the position, it is therefore
for US TO speak. He will do !
tainly be elected by people who had learned |
70 confide in him, long before we knew hun
CoMMIssI NER.
Perhaps no man in the County combines
more of the qualifications required for this
office than Hiram Bodle, our nominee A
prudent, enterprisinc and intelligent farmer,
who manages his own affairs with admirable
tact and ability. The affairs of the county
will be managed by him with equal cafe apd
economy. The people will not fail to elect
him.
FOR TREASURER,
S. III. Jenkins, young man of good hab.
is and sterling integrity has been named
or this Office. Though poor man, pecuni
arily. the finances Of the county will be as
safe in his hands as in the hands of the Roth
,hilds. He must and will be elected:
FOR AUDITOR.
Martin Sicklcr, the person named for Audi.
or, though young man, has already ac-
Iuired reputation in the neighborhood
where he resides, for prompt business quail
ications and uprightness in all his dealings,
# which many an older man might well be
,roud. Let him be elected.
