Thomas Greene is man of good sense
and undoubted integrity. and if elected
will consult the wishes # his constituents
m voting upon all measures CT county or
general State interest. As Sheriff he has
been an active and faithful officer, and if
the people elect him to 60 to Sacramento,

For County Clerk we have DR.. W. n
Guptill, an- old resident of the County, and
a thoroughly honest and competent man.
No two men IN the county have done more
individual favors for friends and acquaint-
ances, Irrespective of party, than Tom
Greene and DR. Guptill, and we have faith
enough in human gratitude to believe that
the friends OF these two gentlemen, without
regard to party lines, will remember them
iavorably ON the 9th of September. The
Doctor has spent many Of the most valua-
Die years of his lite in allevating the sick
and distressed of the Millville country
By day and by night, in sunshine and in
storm, he has always promptly responded
to the call Of duty, and zealously labored
to heal the afflicted and keep Death from
entering the homes of the good people with
whom he has cast his lot. I he poor have
received the same attention at his hands as
the wealthy, and his hand is always ready
to bestow charity upon the needy. 1t
would certainly rebound to the credit and
honor of the people Of the Nilivllle coun-
try if they should drop party lines and
cast unanimous vote tor DIR. Guptill N
this case neigbborhood pride and spirit
ought to raise the people above party, and
partizanship be sunk in general tribute
of good will to deserving man.
William Jackson, our nominee for
Sheriff is one of the very best men in the
county, and it elected, will make splen-
did officer. Calm, temperate. prudent and
courageous, he is just the man to fill the
responsible and often trying position of
Sheriff AS Under Sheriff, he has made
record by the faithful discharge OF his
duties, of which he may justly feel proud,
and his upright course in that position
hows that he can safely be trusted in a
higher capacity. In short the voter who
casts his ballot against William jackson,
will vote against one Of the best men that
ever asked the support of the people of this
county. He ought to be elected ~ a
rousing majority.
Samuel Cooper, is considered by almost
everybody to be the "Tight man in the
right place" a, Treasurer, and we have 10
doubt but that he will run ahead of his
party ticket Let no one who wishes him
to keep the records and keys Of the Treas
ury for the next two years tail to vots for
him, thus making assurance douyiy sure.
For that very responsible Office of ID g.
trict Attorney, appears ;ne name Of Joseph
w. Bracket, Esq. This office is one of
particular Importance to the people and the
interest Of the county, and should be filled
by professional lawyer possessing expert
ence, knowledge and ability. to fully repre-
sent any Cause in which the People are
plaintiff, and defend the interests of the
county before any Court. The position
demands an attorney who is ready and able
at all times to meet in legal combat the
best and shrewdest lawyers who practice
in our Courts, and an inexperienced officer
must necessarily make grievous blunders
and subject the county to needless expense,
pecuniary loss, aud fail to carry out the
ends and aims of law and justice. That

requirement for this position no one ac-
quanted with his legal and educational
attachments can doubt He is not only
licensed to practice in the Courts of this
District, but holds ce' ti6cate of examn-
alton before the Supreme Judges and IL
