Peace. Captain Tupper is a gentleman of
unquestionable integrity, an intelligent old.

doing steady, hard work all which recon-
mend him to the warm support of the DEM
ocracy. James Letford has served as Justice

qualified for the position, and, like Captain
Upper, is of inirm health. Both gentlemen
should be triumphantly returned. I. NJ.
Yancey and John F. Edwards are the demo.
cratic candidates for Constables. Should we
indulge our inclination and say what We
would be justified in saying in favor of Mr..
Yancey. he wouldn't set it up, wherefore we
shall allow him to present his claims in pro-
pria persona before the sovereigns. John F.
Edwards has served one term az Constable

always attentive to business aud would be
an excellent selection to fill the position
again.

excellent selection for Collector. He has
heretofore served, and is at present serving
his district as Assessor, and for the admira.
be manner in which he discharged the duties

prize by the State Agricultural Society
That he will be elected and prove equally
efficient as Collector may be accepted as a
certainty. John Boyle. as Assessor, is a
most iudicious selection. The old gentleman
is full of energy and fire, and will make a
thorough canvass of his district. We shall
be certain to congratulate him upon his elee.
ton. For justices of the Peace Lyman Les

been punctual in the disch rye ofhis duties.
and will meet the requirements of the new
position with equal credit. He has many
friends and they will secure his election.

ed ; besides he has given such general salts
faction, and is so universally popular, his re.
election is a forgone conclusion. Tom. Scott
received the nomination for Assessor. lie
deserves success and we shall hope to see him
returned, but It is district heretofore deed-
edly against us, admitted to be very close
now, and be cannot afford to lose any votes.
Only one candidate was nominated for Jus.
tice of the Peace, and F. a. g. Van Mathe.
ness received the nomination. He is gen.
tleman of most excellent reputation and habit,
we'll qualified for the position, and ought to
be elected. Wm. Il. Smith is the nominee
for Constable. He was formerly resident
known. He is calculated to win the good
opinion of his fellow. citizens where ever be
may be, and we shall hope to be able to re-
cord his election. All the local candidates
in that district must pull together, however,
TO ensure success.
In District numbe- four we come upon
William Arthur, our esteemed corresponds
=" Tonto," as the nominee for Collector. BE
is too we'll known in his district to need in
dorsement at our hands. He is young, eneI.
getic, posed of acknowledged ability, has
worked and written zealously and enthusas-
tiely in the cause of the democracy, and if
they don't elect him to the Office he desiles,
they will prove themselves ungrateful. How.
ever. we won't permit ourselves to doubt for
moment his election in democratic dis
trict. E. I. Harper, Familiarity called "Un.
Gle Tim is the democratic candidate for A..
SCISSOR. He is one of the good men and
