Democratic Nominations.


The assembled Democracy of Iowa Co
were in council al DodgeviIle ON Saturday
last, for the purpose of nominating a
county ticket About half the county was
represented, the balance apparently not
deeming it of enough importance to attend
The convention was organized by the cleo
ton of H. G. Snow Chairman, and Orville
Strong, Secretary. After arranging the
preliminaries, they proceeded to nominate
ticket.
John j. Ross, Of Mineral Point, was nom
mated for State Senator Mr.. Ross is a
man of money, and is expected to be libe-
raj in its use. He is new horse, and will
help draw the balance-up Salt River
For Sheriff they put up James S. Brown
of Linden, who, they say, the patriotic
men of Linden and Mineral Point would
rather have than VIM. Sands, faithful
soldier and good citizen. We IL see
The nomination of Treasurer was given
to Fl. G. Ellsworth of Highland. Mr..
Ellsworth is young man of ability, and
well liked where he is known; but he has
tco much good sense to be sacrificed in
any such way, and has rendered his resig-
nation. The party managers have since
been diligently looking for candidate,
but no man Of sense will accept nomina-
ton against Uncle Frank. We know a
man in this village who would run. lie
has a aoea6ness for tie c67ce-cf Treasurer!
Orville Strong of Dodgeville, was nomi-
mated for Clerk of the Board of Supervi-
sors. Mr.. Strong is a young man of good
ability and would doubtless make a good
clerk. He has very little to say about
politics, and is thought to be very popular,
from the fact that l47 Republicans voted
for him for Town Clerk last spring, and
| elected him. He is steady, sober, honest
man, and is far from fair representative
of the party. But as he is with the wrong
crowd, Republicans won't vote for him,
but a0aE vote for Major g. II. Otis, bet
ter soldier, better clerk, and firm sup
porter of the true policy of equal rights to
all mankind.
Ole Narveson of this place, has been
/ put against Mr.. 0. P. Ashley. He is an
other new man, and is a poor representa-
tive of his supporters. The lame man is
as good q walker, and can oatratn him by
200 majority. 1858
For District Attorney they have nomina-
ted J. NJ Smith of Mineral Point, man
who is said to be very popular where he
is known. i'E@f
John S. Comfort of Highland, was given
the nomination for Clerk of Circuit Court.
He might make a fair officer, but the voters
of Iowa county will never throw off a one
armed soldier for this man. yaf5a
Henry Madden was nominated for Sur
veyor, and R. S. Hamilton for Coroner.
Their ability to discharge the duties of
the offices if elected is not disputed /; but
they are Copperheads, and the people don't
want them. 81.
| For Assembly they nominated, in the
southern district, Capt. Thomas Priestly,
a johnson bread and butter man; in the
northern district, II. G. Barnard of Avoca,
a man with whom we are but slightly &C
quainted, and Of whose ability we can say
nothing. He is young man, and lacks
the business experience and energy of his
opponent, VIM. &. Rowe. a.
For Supervisors they nominated, in the
first district, j. H. Hrd in the second,
D. Mcfarland; in the, third, Horace @.
Snow of Avoca. Mr.. Hird and Mr.. Nc
Farland have no chance of election, their
opponents being well qualified and very
popular. Mr.. Snow il said to be clear
headed, good business man, and if elected
would makes good Supervisor. Isl :
