HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
A. WILSON,
JOHN II. HALL.
DR.. R. BLUM.
J.H. OLDHAM.
The ticket is very good one on Its
own merits; and since 1t Is put forward
as sntsgonistic Of the CAMDRN-BAKER
Ring ticket, and there are to be no Re.
publican nominations, we unhesitstingly
advise our Republican friends to give this
tickettheir cordial support. The follow.
ing sketch Of the several candidates we
take from the Democrat.
OUR CANDIDATES.
In presenting our Senatorial and Legls.
lative ticket, as opposed to that Of the
Ring party, we believe we have as nearly
met the views of the people oil Ohio coun.
ty as it is possible to do under existing
circumstances. And we are fully conf.
dent the interests OF the Pan Handle will
not suffer il intrusted to these gentlemen.
In MIR. A. N. Jacob we have gentle.
man of sterling integrity, and with all a
plain straight forward man, and Demo.
crat Of unimpeachsble character. Mr.
Jacob has fine legal and classical educa.
ton, and will be valuable in Legislative
body, from the fact Of his peculiar ability
to perform any committee duty which
may be assigned him. We have placed
Mr.. Cunningham upon our ticket because
he had the independence to bolt the
Ring arrangement, and declare himself
an independent candidate. All such
men should be supported. In selecting
delegates the aim has been to have Ohio
county represented in the Legislature.
Mr.. Andrew Wilson's peculiar character.
istics as bold and able protector OF the
interests Of those who secure his services,
evidently qualify him at this particular
juncture for the Legislature. The Mer.
chants National Bank Of Wheeling, of
whose board he is prominent member,
accord to him the settlement OF difficult
questions, and it Is attributable to him,
that this bank has resumed her place at
the head ot the banking Institutions Of
the city, since the Savings Bank went
under. Mr.. Wilson is also director In
the Peoples Bank, in the Citizens Rail-
way Company, and it Is to him the city
Of Wheeling is mainly indebted for the
proud position she to-day occupies flnan-
cially.
The people Of Ohio county may rest
well assured that under his lynx eyes no
raids will be made upon the Public Treas.
ury. He will be faithful guardian Of
their rights, and his presence at the Cap
itol will be an evidence Of the determins-
tion Of Ohio county to submit 10 no imp9-
sitions, even by the Parkersburg Ring.
Mr.. John 81. Hall is q gentleman well
known to US all as pure and attentive
servant of the people. He is opposed 10
rings, robbery and everything else calcu.
lated to bring odium upon the Democratic
party. He loves no Jokes as thou dost
Anthony, and will have an eye to the In
terests OF Ohio county.
Recognizing the rights OF the great
German element in our population, a
delegate has been accorded them. The
intrinsic worth OF this class Of our fellow.
citizens to our prosperous city can hardly
be estimated. Among them we have able
mechanics, substantial business men, and
the most extensive and successful manu-.
iacturers. DR.. R. Blum is fine scholar,
is highly esteemed by our citizens gener.
ally, and will take commanding position
in the delegation from Ohio county.
MIR. ]. Il. Oldham Is well 10 do farmer
in Triadelphls township; is the brother oi
the distinguished lawyer Of the same
name, and will make good Representa-
tive.
1t Is not our wish to reflect upon any
candidate. Weplace the Jacob candidates
in contrast with those Of the Ring party,
and are willing to let the people pass
Judgement upon their respective quallf'
