THE COUNTY CONVENTION AND
CANDIDATES.


THE COUNTY CONVENTION AND
CANDIDATES..
The Republican County Convention
which met at Jefferson on the 18th, was
composed of large delegations from all
parts of the County The utmost harm
ony and good feeling prevailed, and the
ticket put in nomination receives the cor
dial and enthusiastic support of the party.
Its excellence and strength are universal
ly acknowledged, and we hope to chroni-
Gle the success of every candidate at the
coming election.
j. T. MOAK,
the candidate for Senator, has been long
and faYorably known as a prominent busl-
ness man of this city. For several years
he was leading merchant Of our place,
and during part Of the time edited the
Republican with marked ability. He is
now our efficient and very popular Post
Master. Mr.. Moak is a man Of fine tai
ents, the most untiring industry and sup
erlor business qualifications. No one
could have been found better qualified for
the position to which be is nominated,
and considering his great popularity and
admirable fitness for the Office, we do not
doubt that he will be ele:tcd by de-
clsive majovi'y.r @
JAMES KILMER,
the candid te for Sheriff, was for several
years a resident Of Water own and after
wards having been appointed to the charge
of the Poor Farm, he removed to the
town of Pennington where he now resides.
He discharged the duties Of his off &c with
such fidelity and acceptance that unusual
offers were made to induce him to remain
which other arrangements prevented mis-
accepting. Mr.. Kilmer is peculiarly ft-
ted for the position to which he is nomin-
ated and would make a most excellent
officer. His nomination gives universal
satisfaction, and we are confident that
majority of both parties would be glad to
see Jim in power at Jefferson.
EDMUND SWEENEY
our present Treasurer was re.nominated
by acclamation-a compliment worthily
bestowed upon faithful, efficient and
popular officer. No man is better known
throughout the county than Mr.. Sweeney,
and a notice from US is scarcely called
for. 1t is not too much to say that wherev-
er he Is best known, there he is the most
highly esteemed and will receive the most
cordial support. Mr.. s., is an Irshman
by birth but has lived in Watertown and
this vicinity for more than twenty years.
He is man Of ability, education, expert
ence and irreproachable character. His
election we consider as sure.

ter of Deeds. He is a successful mer-
chant, has had large business experience.
is able, active, energetic and gentlemanIy
and is we'll adapted by education and
business habits tor the responsible Office
Of Register. Mr.. Kaltenbrun is a German
by birth, but being highly educated and
having lived in this country many years,
is as thoroughly conversant with the Eng
fish language as if native born. If cleo
ted he will devote his time and attention
to the duties of his office, while his op-
ponent, we are credibly Informed, has
made business arrangements in Milwau-
kee which will require his presence, and
If elected he intends to appoint Deputy
to take charge of the Office.
W. W. BOWERS,
of Oakland, the candidate for Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors, is the right
man in the right place. He enlisted in
the lst Wisconsin Cavalry, and as we can
testify personally, was brave and faith
full soldier. He has tie business cxper-
fence and qualifications necessary for the
Office to which he is nominal and his
social qualities, genilemanly demeanor
and excellent business capacity would
render him a very popular officer,
1t. CARL sTRUVE,
