Union Nominations.

The re-. nomination OF Governor Cony gives
us the opportunity to honor ourselves AZ the
sam, time we honor our worthy Chief Mag
is,rate by again calling him To be our leader
for another twelyemonths. Called to tine Ex-
ecu,ivs Chair by a aattering selection. the
Governor has discharged his duties with hon
or tn himself and fidelity to the State. and
has fully answered the expectation Of those
who knew his distinguished abilities. The
Commonwealth has within its borders no
more worthy citizen than he. and the ides OF
September will graphically show the conf
dence the people have in that man who has
served them with fidelity and trust.
The people Of old York ara again called
up,n to add their quotas to the State leg'sla'
tors and elect men to administer the Affairs
Of tho county. Messrs Hobbs and Weld arc
lawyers OF integrity abb worth, who are pre-
s,nted to the people Tor their s"ifrages lor
the FIRST time. They arc not politicians. as
the term is generally understood, and there
fore have not been prominently before the
people, but they are well known and trusted
by their townsmcn and those who know them
best. With Mr.. Mason We have no personal
acquaintance. lie left the copperhcads four
years ago. and has ever since boldly stood his
ground rs Union man against the inuendos
Of his former party associates, whose princ'-

their reasonable endorsements.
In our candidate for Treasurer the party
has tower OF strength. Mr.. Little6old is
one Of those true, upright and tried men none
too often met with, who honor their associ-

able and accomplished to admirably discharge
the duties Of the treasuryship. Not less for
tunate are the party and the county in the
choice for County Commissioner. In very
many towns there are those men whom oil
instinctively trust II there is to DO refer

decision Is acquicsced in as just and final.
Or. If nm estate is to be administered upon,
Mr.. A is always selected, because everybody
Anoes him to be above suspicion. Mr.. Quin-
by Of this city is just such man, one who
possesses the confidence Of men Of all SHADE 5
OF p,l,tic,l opinion. There is no man living
who would dare approach him with any
scheme which in the least favored OF injus

Ills qualifications for the position, not less
than his incorruptihlc honesty, distinguishes
him as our candidate. For the past twenty
four wears AS agent Of the Water Power Co.,
no has managed its large landed interests
with the entire satisfaction OF the Directors,
and he has probably surveyed and conveyed
more real estate than any ten men in the
county. Though repeatedly urged to allow
himself to be candidate. Mr.. Quinby, being
a strictly business man, has always refused.
His name was used in the Convention ns a
candidate for Senator, as We kno,c, without
his knowledge or consent. Mr.. Q. distinct
