Our County Ticket.


We promised in our paper of last week
that in our present issue we would refer
In detail to the several candidates who
were placed in nomination by the recent
Democratic county convention. We now
proceed to do so:
W HORACE ROSE, FsQ.,
the nominee for Assembly, is native OF
Johnstown and LAWYER by profession. lie is
native and to the manor born, and is com
paratively young man. When the late civil
war unfortunately began, he went to the front
as Adutant of the 54th Pa. Regiment, which
had for it's Colonel the present Surveyor Cen
eral of the State, Col. Jacob NJ. Campbell afr.
Rose acted as Adjutant of the Regiment until
il was dir charged, end, as we have always Tn
derstood. performed his duties to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned. Mr.. Rose Is q
gentleman of ability and unsullied reputation.
He is emphatically and outspoken, as every
honest man ought to be, against the senseless
farce of the removal of the county seat from
Ehensburg to Johnstown. On this Issue,
well as on his high character as a gentleman of
integrity and ability, we present him to the
people of the whole county in the name and
by the authority of the convention at whose
hands he received the nomination, and we are
fully authorized by him to say that he will
fight it out on that line" if it takes him until
the second Tuesday OF next October.
CAPT. wM. B. BoSACKER.
the candidate for Sheriff, is resident of the
new borough of Woodvale, in the vicinity of
Johnstown. In 1861 he raised a company of
volunteers and was elected its Captain. Like
Mr.. Rose, he belong ed TO Colonel Campbell s
regiment and served in il until it was dscharg-
ed, and left the army with pure reputation as
an upright man and true soldier. Colonel
Campbell who differs in politics with Captain
Bonacker will cheerfully endorse all that We
have said in reference TO his bravery as SOL
dier and his integrity as a man. Capt B. is in
the prime of life and has always been stead
fast Democrat of the old school. He is emf
nently St and competent for faithful and
honest discharge of the duties of the Office for
which he has been nominated We confident
" predict, from Capt. Bonacker's well earned
reputation. as well az his character as a man,
that he will receive as large, if not larger,
majority for the Office for which he is a candi-
date, than hGs been given TO any man for the
same Office for the last twenty years.
FRANCIS o'FRIEL,
OF Loretto, is the nominee for County Commits
sioner. Mr.. 0 'Friel is merchant, and if ever
a man in Cambria county did not seek the
Office. but on the contrary was sought by the
Office, that man is emphatically Ir. 0 'FTiel.
We will not undertake to eulogize him, as it
would be entirely superfuous. Wherever He

duties of the responsible Office for which he has
been nominated

He has discharged the duties of that position

due regard for the requirements of that posi-
ton.
JouN wAGNER,
