the several candidates composing oul
County Ticket =
Mr.. James Conrad, the nominee for the
Legislature, is one of the most inteIlieent
and enterprising citizens in the county
and has always sustained high charac
ter for probity and moral worth. He is q
resident of Washington township, and the
sincerity and earnestness of his political
| convictions are fully at.ested in the fact
that he has during his whole life freely
given his influence and exertions to the
support in that benighted corner Of our
county of the party, by whatever name it
was called, that sought the overthrow OF
Locoiocoism and stood for Liberty and I'm
ion
Mr. Z T. Lyle, of Ebensburg, is the
candidate for Prothonotary. Frank is one
of TIE cleverest fellows in the county, and
IS personally one of the most popular. He
is abundantly competent to fill the Office
for which he mas been named, having, in
addition to his other we'll known qualif-
cations, already served one term as Regis
ter and Recorder of the county-a posi-
ton which gave him much experience in
the transaction of Court business. He
will give his competitor close chase, if
he does not come out ahead
For District Attorney the Convention
very wisely selected Samuel Singleton,
Esq, of Ebensburg. Mr.. Singleton came
to Cambria county several years ago and
engaged in teaching school in Johnstown.
Shortly after the breaking out of the war
he enlisted as private in the 133d regt
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served
nine months with credit. Upon his re-
turn, he accepted situation as principal
of the Ebensburg schools and continued
the study Of Law, which he had previous
y commenced About one year ago he
again enlisted, this time in the 209h
regiment, and has but recently been mus
tered out of service, carrying with him
into civil life the reputation Of brave
and enthusiastic soldier. At the last term
of our Court he was admitted to the bar
of the county. We understand from we'll
informed sources that Mr. Singleton is a
young gentleman of fine natural talents,
good speaker, and has been close student
of his profession. If the citizens of the
county, without regard to party lines, un-
derstand their own interests, they will
elect him.
Ti'o eandiduto fur Treasurer, OIr Geo.
b. Stineman, of Richland, is another sol
der, and member of one of the most
patriotic families in the county He is
one OF four brothers who enlisted at the
call Of their country and saw long and
hard service in her defense-one OF whom
now s]eeps his last sleep as the price Of
his devotion. George was one of the first
privates to enlist in the 4th regiment,
commanded by Col Campbell, and he re-
enlisted at the expiration of his three
years of service. When mustered out he
was first lieutenant of his company. He
IS a young man of excellent character,
and, like the candidate last named, has
taught school acceptably. He will, at
least, receive the unanimous vote of the
members oc the 54th, who, we
are Informed, have reasons of their own
for not voting for Mr.. Stineman's compe-
.itor, Mr.. Bl'Dermott.
Mr.. j. ". Scott, the nominee for Com
missioner, is resident of White town
ship and also soldier He was, we be-
ieve, a member of Capt. Butland's com
1any in the 133d regiment, and was in
he first Fredericksburg fight and at
Charlottesville. lie represents portion
If the county which has rarely, if ever,
oeen honored with nomination for Com |
missioner from either party. In the pres
,nt instance the candidate was taken from
White township partly because Che town
hip had strong claims for the nomination,
md partly as tribute to the steady and
lighting loyalty of the Union party of
White township. Mr.. Scott's qualifca-
ions for the Office are well known
Among other things that might be said in
lis favor, We mention thas ne Is one of
he best mathematicians in the county.
For Auditor, our young friend, Lieut.
John b Hay, of Johnstown, has been
nominated. The Lieutenant may also be
