The Ticket.

The candidates presented to the people of
Clearfeld county for their sufrages by the
Republican Convention, are eminently wor-
thy offs cordial and hearty support
Capt JAMES NJ. WEIGH, the candidate
for Assembly, enlisted early in the war as
private soldier in the original Bucktail Re
giment, and was successfully promoted for
gallant conduct in action, until he reached
the rank of Captain. He is in all respects
as fully competent to discharge tie duties
OF the Office and represent the interests Of
the district faithfully, as his Democratic op-
ponent, while his services to his country en-
title him to the support and gratitude of
every patriotic citizen.
SAMSON B. LINGLE, the candidate for
Sheriff, is also soldier, who lost an arm
in the service. He is young man of abil-
ity and integrity, in every way worthy of
the support of the people, and would make
an efficient and faithful officer. Though
possessed of only one hand, he can write
legibly and well, which, perhaps, is saying
good deal more than can be truthfully
said of the copperhead candidate, whose
chirography is represented as literary Gu
riosity.
ARTHUR BELL, the candidate for Treasu-
rer, is too we'll known as an old and respect
ed citizen of the county, to require any no.
tice atour hands. Every voter knows that the
public money would be safe in his hands
from either peculation or speculation
DAVID DREssLER, Esq, of Union town.
ship, the candidate for Commissioner, Is
well and familiarly known throughout the
county as first class Unacceptable, honest
and punctual. Place him in the Commits
sioners' Office and the people can rest assur-
ed that the finances of the county will be
properly disbursed. the business of the of:
flee faithfully and punctually done, and the
public interests we'll attended to in all res
poets. Should he be elected, the people
will never have cause to regret his elevation
to the Office of Commissioner.
JAMES GLENN, the candidate for Jury
Commissioner, is the same James Glenn
who lost his leg in the battle of Drainesville,
early in the war, and who is now nominated
for this office as an evidence of the graft
tude of the loyal men of Clearfeld county
for his services to his country Each party
being entitled to one jury Commissioner,
Mr.. Glenn will of course be elected He
will make good officer.
JOHN II. FULFoRD, Esq, the candidate
for District Attorney, is a young lawyer of
great promise, and more than usual ability.
IF elected, he will discharge his duties faith
fully, and will soon reduce the criminal cal
lender to such proportions that the civil bu-
siness of the people can receive its proper
share OF attention from the Court.
JAMES IRWIN, Sr., the candidate for Au-
ditor, is we'll known as an active business
man. well qualified for the position. #
would be only fair, that there should be an
Auditor OF each party. Indeed, the law
ought to provide that Auditors should be
elected like Inspectors of elections, so that
each party would be represented in the in.
vestigation and examination of the public
accounts
Lieut.. WIN. r BRowN, the candidate for
Coroner, is soldier who served CALAMITY
throughout the war, and was one of our
most valued correspondents from the army,
whose letters were always read With interest
and pleasure by our patrons.
Such is the Republican ticket. There is
not man on it, but is. eminently worthy Of
our cordial support We can vote for these
candidates with the assurance that we are
casting cur sufrages for men who were true
and faithful to their country in the past
