CANDIDATES.

CANDIDATES.
The persons who are willing to accep
the situation, should they be made can
didates ut the Republican Convention
next Saturday, for the various offices
to be filled, are not more than usually
numerous; and surely afford to the Re-
publicans Of the county an opportunity
to make unexceptionable selections.
We subjoin the names Of the candidates
for nomination as gathered from various
sources. There may be Others, and we
may be in error concerning some who
are named, as we have the personal
statement Of candidacy from but few.
For Auditor, the names ofShe'don w.
Young, Il. M. Brink and J. &. Belts
vii! doubtless be brought before the
convention. Mr.. Young is man of ac-
knowledged ability and undoubted pro-
bity, whose long residence in the coun-
ty has made him many friends and few
enemies. Mr.. Brink has been engaged
in the Auditors Office since its occupa-
ton by Judge Belts as Auditor, &c. Of,
is u radical Republican from the ground
up, and is, beyond question, honest and
capable. j. G. Belts has held too many
offices in Cedar county to make it neces
sary to say word in his favor. Nc
man in the county can present so long
an official record to public scrutiny as
Judge Belts. 10 this any one is refer
red who wishes information concerning
his ability or integrity.
For Treasurer, the convention will
have the difficult task of making choice
between Capt. j.. ii. Pound, the incum-
bent for The current term, ana John >.
Tuthill, Esq. Capt. Pounds private
character is beyond reproach; and as All
official, his administration Of affairs has,
SO far as we are informed, been univer-
sally popular. Mr.. Tuthill, too, has ev-
cry advantage of character, and is well
known to possess rnninent qualifications
for such a position.
