AL TICKET

THE DEMOCRATIC AND LIBER-
Al TICKET
Nominated on the 22nd inst. is one that
should be elected and will be, if our
friends over the County are but true to
themselves and the right.
For Representatives, Mr.. EDWARD
BROOKE, of Marlboro township, was
first nominated. Mr.. Brooke is a farmer
and has lived in the county for many
years. He is man about sixty years of
age, possessed OF good fund of general
knowledge, in fact is gentleman of cul-
ture and would make safe, reliable and
useful member of the General Assembly.
JOHNSON SHERRICK, of the hard
ware firm of Sherrick & Miller of this
city, is worthy representative of a youn-
ger generation. Mr.. Sherrick was born in
Canton township and is near 80 years OF
age. He is good business man, we'll
posted on the history of his country has
a good stock of general knowledge, and
like his colleague Mr.. Brooke, if elected
would make an honest and faithful Rep
resentative.
For Auditor, JAMES P. SOURBECK,
OF Alliance, was nominated by acclama-
ton. Mr.. Sourbeck was our candidate
two years ago and come very near being
elected. He is well qualified for the po-
sition and would make an honest, faith
ful and efficient county Auditor. We
hope TO see him the next incumbent
satisfied the tax payers of Stark county
would never regret it.
For Sheriff, WILLIAM BAXTER, the
present popular Sheriff, was renominated.
"Bill" has attended faithfully to the du-
tues Of the Office during this term as all
who know testify. 1t is q very important
position and he should be continued by
all means. Let our friends remember
"Bill' Baxter.
For Treasurer, GEORGE FESSLER of
Canton, was placed in nomination. Mr..
Fessler was our candidate two years ago
but Mr.. Allen was running for his second
term and his popularity in that Office was
too great for as worthy and popular man
as Mr.. Fessler TO defeat. All who are ac-
quainted with George Fessler know him
to be just the the man to succeed this fall.
Let our citizens bear in mind our friend
Fessler. I
For Recorder, JAMES SLENTZ, ESQ.,,
of New Franklin, was nominated, Mr.
Slentz is a wagon maker by trade and oc-
cupation and has been for many years an
acting Justice OF the Peace for Paris
township. We know whereof we speak
when we say that, if elected, Mr.. Slentz
would make a competent and popular
Recorder.
For Prosecuting Attorney, A, L
JONES, of Alliance. was nominated with
out opposition. Mr.. Jones has been
an attorney for over twenty years
and has served g term or two as
Justice Of the Peace at Alliance. He is
well qualified for Prosecutor and we hope
to see him elected to that position.
For Commissioned, JOHN P0ORMAN
of fuscarayas township. was placed in
nomination. Mr.. PeoFman is farmer
and one of the sOidaand intelligent men
Of thatregion We. say to our farmer

sition and We hope to see the people Of
Stark county elect him. lozz 5-3 10 q
For County Surveyor our old friend
and competent surveyor, JACOB G WILL
LARD, was placed in domination with
out opposition His large experience
makes him by far the fttest man in the
county fer the position. We hope to see
old Jake elected once again.
For InfrmarY Director, SAMUEL C.
HOWENSTINE, of Pike township was
nominated. We know that if Mr.. How
senstine were elected he would give the
Infrmary affairs all proper attention, for
all which he is well qualified, 81 .,s
v For Coroner, JACOB E. MENTZER,
the present Mayor of NRVarrs was nomi
ated by reclamation. Although the DIP
ties of Coroner are not usually very heavy,
we are confident that Mr.. Mentzsr would
be found more than equal to the task.
Take it all in all the ticket is one wor-
thy of the earnest labors of our friends.
We say then, Let no one fail to do his
duty. We need change at Washington,
at Leng Branch, and even in Stark conp
ty. tits time the work of Reform was
beginning at home and in home affairs. 4
