THE COUNTY TICKET.


We had only time and space last week to |
publish the proceedings of the Republican
County Convention, and announce the
names of its candidates The nominees are
now fairly before the public, and we believe
no ticket has ever been presented for the
sutfrages of the voters more worthy of their
confidence and support. The proceedings
of the Convention were marked by harmony
and good feeling, and the nominations made
with degree of unanimity which preven-
ted the possibility of bad feeling.
For Representatives. the Convention nom
mated LORENZO GRINNELL, of Wells,
by accamation This nomination is i'll ac-
cordance with the time-honored usage of
the party in this County and deserved
tribute to the fidelity and honesty with
which he represented this county in the
Legislature last winter. Mr.. GrinnelPs
course as legislator has the full appro
val of his constituency. Aplaln, practical,
intelligent farmer. he has uniformly and
steadily voted so as to uphold the cause of
the Country, to maintain the credit of the
Nation, and encourage our soldiers in the
field. He has been a watchful guardian of
the interests Of the people. The voters of
this County will do well if they always
send such upright and faithful men to the
Legislature.
His associate upon the ticket, G. WAYNE
KINNEY, is not unknown to the people of
this County. Born and reared in Sheshe-
quin, he was at one time the editor of the
Bradtord Argus when that paper was the
organ of the Wing party of this County.
He is man of acknowledged ability,
thoroughly conversant with all the great
questions of the day, and an indexible sup
porter of Republican principles. He will
be an able and worthy Representative.
For Treasurer, j. PERRY VAN FLEET,
of Leroy, was nominated on the first bal
lot, by decided vote. Having acted for
some time as Deputy Sheriff, he is well and
favorably known throughout the County.
His qualifications for the Office are of high
order
In the nomination of STERN MCKEE, of
paid graceful and substantial compliment
to a soldier who has perilled his life for his
Country, and who bears in his mutilated
person, testimony to his bravery in the
| field Mr. MCKEE was a private in the
207th p v, and followed the flag of that
gallant regiment through the battles in
which it participated. In the daring as
sault on Fort Mahon, he was severely
wounded, and suffered amputation of his
| left arm, at the shoulder Added to his
military record, he is amply qualified for
the Office for which he has been named,
possessing good business abilities with
capacity and intelligence.
For District Attorney WIN 7. DAVIS, of
Towanda borough, was nominated. AS a
member of the bar, he is not unknown to
| those having business to transact in our
County. He possesses the ability withthe in
dustry to make an excellent officer
The candidate for Auditor GEORGE W.
ELLIOTT, of Herrick, will make capa-
bic and efficient officer This Office is of
great Importance to the taxpayers. Mr..

not neglect the peoples interest, We
speak after long and intimate acquain-
tance when we recommend him to the sup
port Of the voters.

ELL, Of Orwell, was re-nominated. This
| is the best recommendation which could be
given him, and testifes that he has proved
worthy of the place to which he has been
elected.
