The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1869-09-09
A SOLID FRoNTl


The Democrats Of Bedford county
have now an opportunity TO increase
their majority largely and to assist in
winning a splendid victory for Packer,
Pershing and the whole ticket. The
State nominations command the res
pect even of our political opponents,
and some of the most distinguished
men in the Radical party have testified
10 the worth and excellence Of Asa
Packer and Cyrus L. Pershlng.
The district ticket is one of the best
presented for the suffrages of the peo-
pie for years. Hiram Findlay our
nominee for State Senator, is a man
who is admired by all who know him,
for his energy, uprightness and correct
business habits. he has been work
ing.man all the daysof his life, and his
success in business is due solely to his
good Judgment, nnhagging Industry,
and excellent moral charactef. Judge
Noble is too we'll known to our people
to need any eulogy. lie is man who
can be trusted in any position. No
man fears that If Joseph b. Noble is
elected, the vote of Bedford county
will be cast for any of the schemes Of
the legislative ''ring." Capt Sipe is,
also, a first rate man. He comes be-
fore the people Of Bedford county with
the highest recommendations from our
neighbors in Fulton. He was a soldier
who served his country gaIlantIy and
faithfully.
The County Ticket is composed of
the very best material. John P. Reed,
for Prothonotary, is a nomination that
challenges the approval of every right
thinking man. Mr.. Reed is well ac-
auainted with the duties of the office
for which he is a candidate. He has
had experience in the performance of
those duties; he is one of the most cor
rect accountants and one of the best
counselors-at-law in the State. He has
suffered greatly from the prosecutions of
political enemies, and the sympathy of
every Democrat in the county should
be aroused in his behalf.
VIM. Keyser, the Democratic NOM
inee for Sheriff, deserves especial men
ton. He is one Of those men whose
lives ennobIe the humble calling of the
laborer. Once poor boy toiling for
his daily bread, by patient labor, strict
integrity and correct habits, he has
won himself such a position in society
and i'm his party as to indicate him as a
proper person to fill the Office fCr which
he is a candidate. The enemies of the
Democratic party hate him, Of course.
John Cessna, the contemplate trickster
who now manipulates Radical politics
in this county, has particular grudge
against him. In 1863, the immaculate
John desired the Democratic nomin2-
ton for State Senator. William Key
ser was one Of the Conferees. Cessna
e1uldar 6ty him and therefore hates
him. At present heis busily engagedin
all sorts of schemes to iniure VIM.
Koyser at the election. Who would
be the tool of John Cessna in his base
intrigues with the enemies of William
/ Keyser? Who would lend himself to
this despicable renegade to be an in
strument for his revenge on the man
who refused his bribe? Shame on the
Democrat who would take Cessna's
dagger to strike down William Key
ser!
The remainder of the County Ticket
is unexceptionablc. We shall speak
of the gentlemen who hocomp0se it more
fully hereafter. Ere,y man on He tick
ct, from Prothonotary 10 Auditor, aCas
fairLy nOm5laiell, after a free and full
and prolonged canvass. We are aware
that all sorts Of tales have been set a.
float in regard to the manner in which
the primary election was conducted
But these are as false in regard to the
friends Of one candidate as they are in
regard to those Of the others. 1t was
fair contest. The n00rity decided
who should be the candidates. Now.
let Us act like men, like Democrats
Let us pesenta solid frOnt to the enemy
and march forward TO victory!
