LOCAL DEPARTMENT.
I~ndependent Candidates.


pendent candidates, G.. H. Edison, fol
Representative, JOHN V. CAMPBELL
for Prosecuting Attorney. and JOHN
BROWN, of Monroe Township, fol
County Commissioner. In this an
nouncement we are proud to say, that
these candidates are unexceptionable
in point of ability and integrity, and
free from all Cliques and Rings--the
offices have sought the men.
GRIFFIN H. EDISON,
The candidate for Representative, was
born in Preble county, and sprang
from an humble but respectable pa
rentage. His father died when he
was young, and he being tie oldest
child was left in care of his widowed
mother and several orphan children,
with little or no means of support.
Not in the least discouraged, young
Edison %apprenticed himself to a Tan
ner and Courier, learned that trade
and by industry and close attention
to business, he became a fine mechan-
ic. After working for himself for
several years, he settled i'll business
in Eaton, and has been one of our
most successful merchants. He has
contributed largely to the improve
ment of the town, in building houses,
grading the streets, and thus afford
ing work to many laboring
There is no citizen in the county, who
enjoys the confidence of the people to
Il greater extent than Mr. Edison.
Such is the character of the Independ-
ent candidate for Representatives
self-Inade mar and a true type of the
laboring classes. In prosperity as
well as in advcrsity, he presents the
same energy IF character, the foistc-
rer of industrial labor, and the indor-
ser of all public Improvement. We
therefore. commend him to the sup
mort of all who toll and labor for a
living.
JOHN V. CAMPBELL,
The Independent candidate for Pros
ecnting Attorney, is so well and so
fay ,rably known in the county, that
it is scarcely necessary to more than
mention his name. Having filed the
office of Probate Judge and Prosecu-
ting Attorney so acceptably to the
paople, hut l.tfle more can be said in
his favor. We can see no ne ssity
fer u change.
JOHN BROWN.
OF Monroe Township, the Independ-
cut candidate for County Commits
sioner, is q farmer, and a man of ex-
ccllent reputation among his neigh
bors. He too is a representative of
productive labor, and would discharge
the duties of Commissioner to the
entire satisfaction of the taxpayers.
His residence, ali other things being
equal, should recommend him to the
voters OF PrebIc county for their suf-
frage. The first and third range are
represented i'll the Board by Conger
and Prugh, but Coovert of the second
range was slaughtered by the Ring
masters at Eaton, TO make room for
Campbell i'll the south part of the
county, thus leaving the north part of
the county without a single represen-
alive in any official position. Even
Joseph Miller, on his first term, had
walk the plank to leave room for
Silver, an old fossil, who
has lived by mere absorption.
This, fellow citizens, with the names
of the present incumbents of Treasu-
rer and Auditor, and j. L. Quinn, for
Infirmary Director, will be the indie
pendent Ticket presented for your
support at the October election
There are no pledges asked-no pack
ed Convention made it-no Clique or
Ring carved it out-the offices sought
the men-and these are the kind of
officials we want in these days Of sal
airy grabs and corruption. Vote this
Ticket and break down party corrup-
ton, Cliques and Rings.
