Democratic Nominations
CHRIS. HUGHES and E. M. CASTOR, men,
bers of the last House of Representatives
from Butler county, are renominated as
candidates for Representatives. Both are
unexceptionable in every respect. Mr..
HUGHES has served his county for many
years in the popular branch of the Legis-
lature, and earned for himself s reputation
for sterling talent and honesty possessed by
few and excelled by none. Mr.. GAsToN
ended his first term last winter and made
a most valuable member. He was deeply
conversant with financial matters, State
and county-and was honest, straightfor-
ward and untiring in the discharge OF his
duty. No county has delegation COM
manding more respect than that which
represented old Democratic Butler, and we
gladly hail the return of HUGHES and
GAsToN as the right men in the right
place.
Hon. W. REED GOLDEN, the excellent
Senator from the Athens, Hooking and
Fairfit Id District, was nominated for re-
election at Convention which met In Lo-
gan on Tuesday last.
When first elected, an attempt was made
to oust Mr.. GOLDEN from his seat by his
Abolition opponent, but the proof of his
being the rightful Senator was too strong
even for an Abolition Senate to oust him
We trust the contestant will again be can
didate against Mr.. GOLDEN, when he will
find himself so far in the vocative that he
will never again dare risk another contest.
Mr.. GOLDEN was one of the most determin-
ed opponents of Negro Suffrage, and in
that, as in all other things, truly represent
ed the feelings of his constituents.
On Saturday last, the Democracy of
Hooking nominated their County and Leg
islative Ticket, as follows:
Representative, w T. Acker; Sheriff. W.
NJ. Davey; Commissioner, John S. Martin
Coroner, w. 81. Bell. --s.
OF the candidate for Representative, that
excellent paper. the Hooking Sentinel, says
"William T. Acker, who heads the ticket,
for Representative. as he headed the vote
on Saturday, Is our present efficient Sheriff,
having been elected to that responsible
position for the second term, and all know
how well he has discharged the duties OF
that office. He fully understands the wish
es and wants of our people, and none will
WOTk uOTe IucIT lnIcTcSI. As
q Democrat and as a citizen, he is beyond
reproach, and when in the Legislature,
will make a member of which the people
may be proud.
The whole Ticket is an excellent one.
Of it the Sentinel says:
With such ticket in the field, the De-
mocracy are now not only ready but eager
for the great battle on the I'd Tuesday OF
October. We throw down the gauntlet to
our opponents, and challeu gre them TO COM
bat, of our assertion that Hooking county,
against NEGRO SUFFRAGE, and in favor
of the State and county ticket, will give a
majority larger than she ever gave before,
although last year she beat our opponents
by majority of over 700! Let us go to
work now, and rest not until the evening
OF the 2 Tuesday of October, when, if we
but do our whole duty, we will have the
proud satisfaction of recording the fact
that little Hacking has rolled up majority
of 1000 against Negro Suffrage. aud in fa-
vOr of White Government. To work, TO
WORK."
On Monday last. the Democracy of Fair
field county, by their delegates in Conven-
tion assembled, nominated the following
ticket:
Rrpresentative-U. G. Rutter; Treasurer
jacob Baker; Com mi Ssioner-A. B. .Gillet;
1nfrmary Director-David Ewing.
Mr.. RUTTER, was a member of the last
House of Representatives and made an ex-
cellent member. The Lancaster Eagle
promises the entire ticket two thousand
majority, and we are confident that the
pledge will be redeemed.
On Tuesday last the Democracy of Brown
county, in Convention, nominated their
Ticket, as follows:
For Representative in Legislature, Eli
jah NJ Fitch; County Treasurer, William
Morris - Couuty-zGnn efer.Janpes
Campbell; Iufrmary Director, John AL
len.
A most excellent Ticket it is. Mr.. FITCH
represented his county in the last Legisla-
ture, and was recognized as one of the most
sensible and attentive members on the floor.
A better man or a better Democrat than
ELIJAH NJ. FITCH it is hard to find any
where, and glad are we to welcome his re-
turn to the halls of legislation, where the
prospect is so fair of having decided Dem
ocratic majority.
