THE TICKET.


day. We shall give every candidate
upon that ticket our cordial and hearty
support. Nearly every candidate nom
mated, was our first choice. In the few
exceptions, we cheerfully yield our pref
erence to the will of the people, as rep
resented in the Convention.
J. w. Longbon, cur candidate for
Probate Judge, is fine scholar, law
yer of fair talents, and man of incor-
ruptible honesty and integrity, of unim-
peachable private character and morals,
and all will admit that there is no man
in Jackson county who is better quali-
fed to fill the office than he is.
L. A. Atkinson, candidate for Audi
tor, is Methodist preacher, Of good
standing He is an honest man, good
citizen, and worthy gentleman.
Charles G James, candidate for Clerk,
is young man Of good character, fair
abilities, and with little experience will
make a good Clerk. He is son Of
John d. James, one of our oldest, and
most respected citizens. Heis grand
son of Major James, and also of Judge
Mitchell, two Of the pioneers of Jackson
county.
Joseph II. Wilson, the nominee for
Sheriff, is man of incorruptible private
character,'a "a gentleman in every respect,
and all men, of all parties, will admit
that Jackson county has never had u
better Sheriff than he has been.
For Prosecuting Attorney, w, K,
Hastings, the present incumbent, is the
nominee. We are ready to express the
same opinion that we did two years ago,
that after an intimate acquaintance of
many years, and having been opposed to
him in many law suits, as attorney, we
never knew him to do any thing that was
dishonorable or unfair. He is FIRM in
his Union sentiments, but not intoler-
ant. lie is a lawyer of fair abilities, and
makes good officer.
Adam Lackey, candidate for Commits
sioner, is one of the solid men of Jack
son county. He is farmer, residing
in Bloomfield township, and is sensi-
bic, prudent and responsible man, and
the tax payers of the county may rest
assured that the great financial concerns
of the county will be safe in his hands.
Everybody knows Peter Ewing, can
didate for Coroner. The office amounts
to nothing in this county, unless the
Sheriff should die, or become unable to
perform the duties of his office. In that
case, who could perform the duties OF
the Office better than Mr.. Ewing? It's
the very thing in which he delights.
But our readers are aware that we are
in favor of soldiers for office. How
does the ticket stand in this regard !
We claim that the soldier have fair
share.
Mr.. Longbon went into the 91st
Ohio regiment as Adjutant, and remain
ed there until his health entirely broke
down. Heperformed his duties in the
army as he does every other place, to
the satisfaction of all.
L. A. Atkinson threw all his energies
into the cause of his country. lie was
poor man, but he went to recruiting,
and took his men into the 0lst regiment,
and was commissioned as Lieutenant
While in the service, he was promoted
to Captain, for gallant conduct The
soldiers tell us that there was no braver
man in battle than Captain Atkinson.
While leading his men in battle, he had
his left arm shattered to pieces by a reb-
d ball, aud also received terrible
wound in the hip, from which he is yet
suffering, After intense suffering for
months, his arm was saved, but is badly
crippled
Charles G. James went into the seth
Regiment, contrary to the advice of his
father and other relatives, who were
peace copperheads. When the peace
men were seducing young men to desert
their flag, Charley James stood firmly
to his oath, his country and his honor
He fought in twenty-seven battles, and
