Our County Nominations.

OF the republican nominees at the
late county convention. we have hereto
fore said but little. They are generally
well known through the county, and re-
quire no word of commentator from US.
The ticket seems to have given complete
satisfaction TO the people, democrats as
vel! as republicans. The democracy
have shown their confidence and appro-
val by placing no ticket in the field. and
ss far as member of Assembly is con-
cerned will support the republican nom
inee, Mr.. o. 5. POWELL.
No man better understands the local
interests, or is more thoroughly inIenti-
fed with the growth and advancement
OF Pierce county, than Mr.. PowELL.-
One of our Oldest residents, he is per-
fcctly conversant with its history,
familiar with its landed intere, Is, its
railroad projects, and all public meas
ures that have originated in the county
and in the st. Croix Valley. This
knowledg e and experience alone renders
him one of lie most efficient and infiu-
euiial men we can send TO the legislature
In saying this we not only speak our
own opinion, but we think it expresses
the views Of both parties in this county
OF Mr.. MINER, the nominee for
School Superintendent, we can say that
his knowledge and experience in educa-
tional matters are such as will render him
emiuately fit 10 discharge the duties Of
the Office TO which he aspires. He served
in the late war as a S;gnrI officer, and
was member e the Examining Board,
which pronounced upon tho qnilifica
tons of officers DESTROYS of entering
this important branch of the U. S. ser
VICE. We believe Mr.. MIAEB will, If
elected, meet every requirement of the
ofic,.
II is claimed that he is rot eligible for
the Office, BY reason of his not being a
resident of the state. No other answer
is nc'ded 10 satisfy the electors as to the
want Ct truth in that charge, than the
communication of Mr.. MINER upon this
same point which appears in Ibis same
paper. 1t is brief plain and explicit,
aud ought to put a quietus upon these
electioneering statements.
The republicans have wisely put in
nomination A. d. Andrews of River
Falls, for Supervisor of the % district.
Mr.. ASDREws has held that Office, by
appointment, for nearly year, and dis
charged its duties faithfully and we'll

such as county buildings, and new roads,

Mr.. Andrews, though receiving the aid
and support of the remaining M embers,
Mr.. CARPENTERS and Mr.. McMURPHY
has been the head and front of these
improvement matters. Knowing thor

it is far better TO let the present board
finish the task before them than ID intro

by opposition, render the board less eff

public utility in which they are nov n
gagged. We expect to see Mr. ANDAEws
elected By large majority.
