Of the regiment before the trenches at
Petersburg. and was confined in Libby pris-
on for ten months. tie was finally hOnOra-
Div discharged at the close Of the war, after

soldiers OF Ingham county, and We have no
doubt they will cordially support him, and
that he will command the strength Of the
party vote.
For County Treasurer, the nominee IS
JOHN A. BARNES Of Aurelius. Mr.. Barnes

It's Just tribute to the Republicans oil
Aurelius, who never fail to roll up major
ity for our ticket.
DR.. CHARLES H. BARROW, Of Meridian, 5
the nominee for County Register. For
several years he has been the Supervisor Of
that township, and has rendered valuable
service on the Board OF supervisors, and has
always led the ticket in his own township.
The nomination was made by reclamation,
andit is the general opinion that no stronger
name could have been presented for the
position, and all cOncede that he viii be
elected, and that the Office will be Wei
managed under his supervision.
As was expected, RoLLS c. DART, Esq,
OF this city, was unanimously re-nominated
for Prosecuting Attorney. He IS generally
known throughout the county as an excel

the only nominee from this city, and will
poll large vote at home and be cordially
and warmly supported throughout the
county.
MASON d. CHArTERToN, Esq, Of Veyay
vas also re-nominated by reclamation for
Circuit Court Commissioner. NJ. Chatter
ton has filed the Office satisfactorily, and
we doubt not will be elected by large ma
jority. lie is a worthy man OF the strictest
integrity, and true to the party and It's
principles.
For County Surveyor, WILLIAM ii. RAY
NOR, Of Veyay, is nominated He has held
the position a number OF terms, Is we'll
qualified for It's duties, and We hear no
complaint Of want OF promptness on his
part 10 meet all that has ever been required
Of him, in an efficient and faithful manner.
For COrOners, JANEsI |. MEAD, OF Lansing,
and ELLIOT ii. ANGEL, Of Bunker Hill, are
the nominees. Mr.. Mead is an old mer-
chant OF former days in Lansing, and at
present is one of the Board OF Control Of the
Reform School, and President Of the First
National Bank OF this city. He viii make
an economical officer, and expects 10 hold
a protracted post norton examination of
the Johnson party in few months, Tor
which there will be no charge made By him
upon the tax payers Of the county. As he
vas beaten some years ago 10y " Turkey"
Price, he IS anxious that his name shall not
De cut by any Republican, and he pledges
himself 10 faithfully perform The duties of
the office If elected. Mr. Angel is one of
he indomitable Republicans ofhis Copper
head township. who never nlters. though
surrounded by tile darkness OF Democracy.
The whole ticket =, In our judgment, OF
great strength, and We believe it can be
elected, if every man goes to work from
this time to the day OF election, by two
hundred majority Let us work ;or the
