The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1871-08-24
The Democratic Ticket.

In the present number, for the first time,
we are enabled to give the entire Democrat
ic ticket and we are free to boast that it
embraces as much Intelligence and integrity
as any ticket ever placed before the people
of Cambria county or of the district. First
on our list is THADpEUS BANKS, our candi
date for President Judge. The Democrats
have presented an able lawyer, truly hon
est man, and an uuwavering Democrat, for
this high office. Our PershiEgs, our Dur
bins, and our Johnstons can testify how will
lingly he worked for our candidates when it
was required. We rejoice to say that there
is fair prospect for the election of Mr..
Banks. as there are likely to be two Radical
candidates in the field.
OF WILLIAM A. WALLACE, our candidate
for Senator, it is needless to speak. Little
Cambria first placed him in the Senate, and
nobly has he fulfilled his trust. He has aid
ed in restoring as to a Domocra District;
and while Cambria had her own preference,
she will hail the election OF Wallace as
bringing an experience into the Senate,
coupled with weight of character that
could not be more abundantly found else
where.
W. HORACE ROSE, our candidate for As
sembly, received the usual compliment of a
denomination. He made a most valuable
member during the late session. Firm as
rock in the support of Democratic measures,
Oh every local issue he sustained the true in
terests of the hard-working yeomanry of
Cambria county.
Major JOHN FLANAGAN and REFS J.
LLOYD, our nominees for Associate judges,
are fnlly qualified for the positions. The
former is an intelligent mechanic, the latter
an equally intelligent druggist, aud both of
them honest and honorable gentlemen
Judges Easy and Murray. the present in
cumbents, were without fault, but, like
Democrats, yielded to the principle of "ro-
tation in office"
WILLIAM Il. SEoHLER, Esq, for District
Attorney, is a self-made, plodding, indus
trious lawyer-a man who will efficiently
and faithfully perform the duties of the inn
pOrtant position for which he is named.
For Prothonotary ]. <. HITE, Esq. the
present incumbent, W as nominated by accla-
nation, no other candidate being named to
the convention. The secret of Capt HrrE's
success has been that be is an obligng, eff
cient officer, and in every way worthy of
tie confidence reposed in him.
1t is needless to co more than name JOHN
Cox. Esq, our candidate for Treasurer. He
has already held the office. and in its dis,
charge won golden opinions alike: from polit-
ical friend and foe.
w, d. MOCLELLAND is al honest, indus,
trious mechanic, and will make frugal,
careful Commissioner, and Que in whose
hands tie interests of the Taxpayers will
not suffer
JAMES FARREN, our nominee for Poor
House Director, is we'll known citizen of
large connection that has never either held
or sought for office. He is good, practical
business man, intelligent and shrewd, and if
anything in the Poor House requires correc-
ton, the public can rest assured that he has
the judgment to see it and the determina,
tion to carry out his impressions.
For Acditor, w. A. B. LITTLE was very
properly selected. A fine penman, a good
accountant, an honest man. " hat more
could be required d?
This is our ticket. In its nomination men
equally good were defeated. This must re-
suit in all conventions but the ticket, as
whole, is singuIarly fortunate one. 1t has
been nominated in a full convention, with
out any Earring elemeIts-it has that pres
tge which insures success, and with it Cam
bria county must and will reach the majority
of her palmiest days.
