THE COUNTY TICKET.

We had only space and time, last week,
to present the names of the gentlemen
placed in nomination by the County. They
are so well known to the people of the
County, their nominations were made with
such unusual unanimity, that we deem it
almost unnecessary to recommend them for
the support of the voters.
For Representative, the Convention re-
nominated by acclamation, g. WAYNE
KINNEY, of Sheshequin. There could be
no better proof that Mr. K faithful lily rep
resented the people in the last legislator
than the fact that there was no voice rails
ed against his denomination. Unassuming
in his department, Mr. K. is thoroughly con-
verssnt with all the great questions of the
day, and his views are in unison with
masses of the country. He made an eff
cient and capable legislator, and will do the
County credit in the next legislature His
colleague upon the ticket, JAMES H.WEBB
of Smithfeld, is perhaps as we'll known to
the people of the Coun ty, as any man with
in its borders He is noted for his Jealous
support of the principles Of the Republican
party, for his earnestness and efficiency and
sterling integrity. Thoroughly conversant
with the public wants, the interests of the
people may be safely entrusted to his care
He will make useful and efficient member
of the Legislature.
For associate Judge, J. WILSON VAN
DYKE, of Canton, was nominated, and the
honor was wortherly conferred. The office
though not onerous in its duties, has it's re
spOnsbilities, which demand that the occu
pant should be man of souLd judgment
and strict integrity all these are combined
in Mr. VANDYKE. The bench will not bt
dishonored while he has seat upon it.
ForISheriff, WILLIAM GRIFFIS, of Stan
ding Stone, was nominated by vote, which
while not rejecting discredit upon other as
pirants to the office, was in the highest de-
gree complimentary to him. Mr.. GRIFFIs
| has been a working member of the Repub
licar party, and has given time and mean:
unsparingly and ungrudgingly for the ad
vancement of the cause. He will discharge
| the duties of the office of sheriff with salts
faction to the public Generous by nature
with heart always open to the relieve thC
wants of the distressed, those who may bt
unfortunate enough to make his acquain
tenance in an official capacity, will neve
have reason to complain that he exceeds
what is necessary for the proper discharge
lar, and at the same time, an efficient Higl
! Sheriff
WILLIAM ALQNZ0 THOMAS, of Troy
township, was nominated for Prothonotary
by acclamation. The honor this con,
ferred upon Mr. THOMAS, was wortherly be-
slowed He has been one of the most re
liable and efficient Republicans in Western
Bradford. Formerly County Commissioner
he displayed in that office, care for the
interests of the taxpayers, combined with
a suavity of manner, which gained him many
friends. AS Prothonotary, the public will
find him capable and obliging officer.
l. Gen. II. j. MADILL of Wysox, was also
unanimously nominated for Register and
Recorder. Of Gen, MaDILL's services in the
field, and of his qualifications for the office
in which he has been named, it Is hardly
necessary for US to speak. The Office of
Register aud Recorder has become one OF
the most important in the Country. Gen
MADuL's legal education, with his abilities,
| give him superior qualifications to fill the
place
For Commissioner, ,WM B. DODGE of To-
wanda borough, was re-nominated. This
deviation from the usual custom, is an ev.
dence that he has given universal satisfac
ton in the Office for the past three years
We believe the unusual verdict is that he
has made good Commissioner, and that
the interests of the people of the County
will be advanced by hip being retained fol
| another term
