we have spoken before, and now pro-
pose to say something about our
county ticket.
JouN LAwsuE, our nominee for As
scmbly, is resident of tho borough
of Osceola, and gentleman OF ability
and unimpcachablo integrity, and n
Democrat without guile. In his busi-
ness and social relations he enjoys tho
respect and confidence of everybody.
IIc served us in the lower branch of
tho Legislature last winter with abil-
ity and honor to himself and his con-
stituents. Mr.. Lawshc commanded
great respect in the House, and was
appointed upon moro important COM
mittces than any other new member,
although belonging to the minority.
His reelection is of course foregono
conclusion, yet it becomes the duty of
every Democrat in the county to do
posit his ballot in his favor, provided
he wants TO bo represented at Harris
burg by an honest, intelligent Repre-
sentative, who cannot be handled by
Simon Cameron and his corrupt crew.
For County Commissioner for three
years, JouN ID. THOMPSON, Of Cur
wensville, has been put in nomination
by the sufrages ofthe people. We have
been personally acquainted with him
for twenty-cight years, and know him
to be Democrat by nature and desire.
Ho belongs to the workingmen's as
sociation, without being artificial
ly Initiated; having pounded away
at his anvil for over forty years,
and through industry and economy
has accumulated competency for
himself and family, as well as high
character for integrity and rare bust
ness qualities. lie served the people
in tho capacity of Associate Judge,
from 1860 to 1865, in very creditable
manner, and will of course make far
better Commissioner than his compet-
itor, Mr.. Leonard.
GILBERT s. TozER is an old resident
of Chest township, a farmer by occu-
patton, and is an old school Democrat.
IIc is our nominee for tho vacancy
caused by the death of Mr.. Buck. He
belongs to the farming numbering class,
who make up the larger portion of our
people, aud therefore understands
their wants. We have known him
for ten years past as an honest, up
right citizen and one of the most ac-
tive Democrats in the county. Ho
has always had his shoulder to the
wheel, and every Democrat who has
been elected to office in this county
for the last fifteen years owes him ga
day in harvest"-next October. He,
with few others, have upset the
politics Of Chest township. But a few
years ago Chest was Radical strong
hold, but, through tho efforts Of Mr..
Tozer and his friends, the township
has become Democratic and greatly
improved in a moral point OF view.
JAMES III. HILE is resident of
Lumber city, and belongs to the
young Democracy. lie comes from
an old Democratic family Of strict in
tegrity, and is endowed with proper
lessons in economy and morals, which
contribute SO largely toward the
development and growth Of good men,
of whom, just in this age, there seems
to be scarcity, If we arc to judge
from the great robbcries and numerous
defalcations that are daily occurring
around us. Mr.. lille is good nc
countant and well qualified to over
haul and examine the financial affairs
of the county. The duties Of Auditor
are wholly Of clerical character, and
it takes men of that turn Of mind and
those verscd in accounts to properly
adjust the several accounts of our
county officers. For this Mr.. lille is
we'll qualified, while his rival docs not
possess single qualification for the
position.
We have thus hurriedly passed over
the merits OF our nominees, and now
again call upon every Democrat TO go
TO the polls on the 9Th day Of October
next and deposit tho whole Demo
cratic ticket in the ballot box. Those
who fail to do this fail TO discharge
the duty Of good citizens.
