Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1866-08-02
Democratic Ticket,


1t is a satisfaction to find the radical
organ of Ebensburg, admit that the county
ticket, placed in nomination by the De-
1nocracy, is an unusually good and accep-
table ticket. 1t could have said no less
and yet we are grateful for It's cand0r in
saying so much.
Il. l. Johnston, Esq, who has been
recommended by this county for Congress,
is wclland Eavorably known throughout the
county, district and state, and the district
Convention, if it consul;s the interests Of
the party and the welfare Of the country
will doubtless place him in nomination.
Col. John p. Linton, our candidate for
Assembly is admitted to be eminontly
competent, and as meritorious and popu-
lar as he is competent. He will be no
unworthy successor of PEEsuING At
the outset of the war he left his business,
his home, and his family, and tho woun
dcd 50 as to disable him for life, he con-
tinued in the service till the end of the
war. At New Market and other bloody
fields, commanding the gallant fifty-fourth,
he won undying renown. But apart from
his military services, Col. Linton is en-
phatically qualified for the Legislature
His native talent-his practical common
sense, his legal ability, place him at the
head of his profession, while his moral
worth and private virtues point him out
as a fit champion Of the rights Of the
people.
For Register and Recorder, James
Griffin, has been re-nominated. During
the last three years he has discharged the
duties Of his office to the entire satisfaction
Of the people and his denomination over
two of the most deserving and popular
Young Democrats of Cambria county, is
the best evidence of his worth as q man
and his fitness as an officer.
George w. Easily and James Murray,
are the candidates for Associate Judge
The former has held the Office for ten
years, during which time his fitness, firm
ness and integrity pointed him out for re-
election James Murray, the other can
didatc, is an honest, high-toncd citizen,
possessing in an eminent degree, the con
flencc of the people. Both these gentle
men have parilled their lives to sustain the
"Constitution and the Union, tho beyond
the period of life at which they could be
drafted
John Ferguson, our candidate for Com
missioner, is Il practical, hard working
farmer, who will take care that ihe taxes
wrung from the people shall not be squan-
dered. Besides, he resides in a portion O
the county which never had Commits
sioncr, and the compliment will be appre
ciatcd.
Henry Byrne, for Poor House Director
is a careful, shrewd business man; who
like D. A. Luther, our candidate for Aud
itor, belongs 70 a pioneer family o
Cambria county. They are both homes
and capable.
Thomas hrBrecn, the nominee for Cor
oncr. Is also a returned soldier, and one o
our most deserving citizens.
in your standard bearers, Democrats o
Cambria county, you have four soldier
and four civilians. Sean their merits
compare them with the radical ticket ant
vote according 10 your judgment. BY tn
way, it is a:singular fact, that, with al
their love for the soldiers, the radical
have only put one on their ticket while th
Democrats have nominated four
