The Andrew County Republican. [volume] (Savannah, Mo.) 1871-1876, 1872-09-13
MORNING. SEPT. Is, Isl
OUR COUNTY TICKET.

This year we arc proud OF the TICK
ct which the Republican s present to
the people of Andrew county Tor their
suffragea. 1t is. taking It all in all,
probably the very strongest and best
that could have been presented. The
greatest harmony prevailed through
out tho Convention, but n slight
exception being noticed, and the
u of that being a misunderstand-
inc or misinformation concerning the
subject upon which Interpretation
was expressed. The delegates from
each township were all present.
some half dozen being represented by
proxies-and all were resolved to
vote for the best man, and that whom
eoever was declared by the majority
of delegates to be the best man, him
would they willingly support. The
result Is asst always will Bein a. con-
vention. where the delegates are I'M
trammeIed and Harmonious good,
strong ticket. We were very glad to
observe, in nearly every instance, the
defeated candidate arise and move
that his successful rivals nomination
be made unanimous. With such har-
mony of feeling, and with such exhi-
billions of unselishness among candi-
dates in tile party, success is certain.
The majority of the party, through
their regularly appointed delegates,
have selected their candidates to be
voted:f for in November; and, con.id-
ering the nice judgment required to
discriminate between so many good
men, they have done their work well.
We subjoin a few remarks on the
candidates selected.
DIR. N. B. BROWN.
The frat (informal) ballot showed
DR. Brown to be largely the choice Of
the party for Representative, which
was materially increased oil the first
regulay ballot. The Doctor stands i'll
higksstinlation with very MANY of
our feIlow-citizens-being probably
the most popular man in the county,
aud d~cservedly sd. He il a good citi-
zen aud'altliough not an orator who
can spout Firth rounded periods"
by the hour. he has T. fund of com
mon sense" (which General Wilkin-
son deems Of such great necessity in
all. ~ofiecrs). and knows the wants of
the county and how TO provide for it
and p~rotect'it by legislation. We are
satisfied N. B. Brown will do that AT
Jefferson City which will be best for
Andrew county. He will not vote
for Frank Blair or any other revolu-
tionary Democrat to represent Mis-
souri, in the United States Senate.
The Doctor is one of Uncle Sans
boys, having served in the army dur
ing the war, being wounded, we be-
lieve, and receiving an honorable dis
charge, holding the rank oGMajor.
PEMBROKE MERCER.
For Sheriff, Captain Pembroke
Mercer was the choice of the Conyen-
ton He was also one Of the grand
army" entering as a high private,
and, after serving four years and in
perhaps a.handred engagements, was
honorably discharged at tile, close of
the war, at which time he held Il Cap
tain's commission. Captain Mercer
has been since then q Woodworking
farmer, and devoted his spare time to
maintaining the results and healing
the wounds caused by the war. iId

Sherif's Office with.etrt;re acccptatioa
to the people OF .Andrca1. county
