COUNTY TICKET.

COUNTY TICKET.
For the office of Register Of Deeds,
Geo. W. Robinson was rc-nominatcd
without a dissenting voice, frs, because,
as an officer, he is everything which
people desire in his position; second,
a. man, he has tho confidence Of
every good citizen, and the respect Of
every bad one Mi'rl, the present great
ly improved condition Of the county
government is largely attributable to his
personal efforts, for which tho people
feel grateful, and Of their gratitude his
denomination is but q proper express
sion.
J. p. Williams, Esq.,, was also re-
nominated by acclamation for the Office
Of County Auditor. The faithiulness
and efficiency with which he has labor
ed have made him by far the strongest
man in tho county for the position for
which he has been designated. The
Office of Auditor, much more than any
other, requires experience, and one term
is no more than sufficient to familiarize
the incumbent with all the details Of
the work. The condition Of the Office
when Mr.. Williams assumed tho dis
charge Of its duties, was such as to &C.
cupy more than half Of his first year
upon matters, which ought to have
been kept in proper condition by his
predecessor. The people will not con-
sent to spare him from the Office during
the next two years.
George Baird, the candidate for
Sheriff, has lived in Austin long time
and is we'll known. He is, in every re-
spect, a gentleman, and will do the
work of the Office with degree of con-
scieptiousness that will compel the
respect Of even the dissolutc and aban-
doned class Of men with which this Of:
ficer is not unfrequcntly obliged to como
into contact. His business ability is
acknowledged by all who know him
and no should receive the undivided
strength Of tho party vote.
e. o. Wheeler, Esq, the candidate
for the Office of County Attorney was
re-nominatcd solely because of his fitness
for the position, and his fidelity to the
interests Of the county. The fact that
four prisoners, charged by the Grand
Jury with the commission Of high
crimes, came before the Court and
plead "guilty," is evidence that the
charges upon which they were arraign-
cd were legully preferred. No techni-
cal defects are found in Mr.. Wheeler's
indictments. The county knows when
it has a faithful and efficient officer, and
will not change without good reason.
Jesse Ros. has been so efficient in
the Office Of Judge Of Probate as to
gain denomination. The position is
a very Important one, and requires in
the incumbent unbeuding integrity,
and fair measure Of legal learning. -
The experience Of the past will make
Mr.. Rose all which the position re-
quircs.
Lafayette French. Esq was appoint
cd by Ex-Judge Donaldson to the Office
of Court Commissioner and the Con-
vention ratified the act The Office
gives the incumbent the powers Of a
District Judge at Chambers, and is one
Of considerable importance. Mr..
French has a judicial cast Of mind, and
will take pains to discharge the duties
Of the position crcditably. He is emi-
nently fitted for the place.
The people of thu county arc too well
acquainted with the character and pro.
fcssional services of Mr.. G. w. Clough
to make any extended notice necessary
in this connection. The accuracy o.
his surveys, speak for him more cogcnt
'y than any newspaper item can do
He will continue to be the County Sur
veyor for some time yet to come.
The faithful and efficient services o
r DR.. r. A. Barnes as Coroner, were full
y recognized in his re-nomination.-
The office, although in no sense rcmun
erative, is, nevertheless, important, ant
the Doctor will attend to it ski'ltuliy
and we'll.
The First Commissioner District re
nominated II. +. Tanner, Esq, for
member of the County Board. Hi
choice for q second term was unani
nous. His services have been in tn
> highest sense acceptable to tho peopl
Of his District and to those of tn
whole county. He will carry nine
tenths Of I'LL the votes in this Distric,
