The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1873-09-11

in nomination by the Democratic
Convention OF the 30th ult.. not deem
ing it important to speak of the can
didates respectively at that time. The
ticket is an excellent one and so ac-
knowledged by men of all parties
who are acquainted with the several
candidates.
Orrin Stephens, Esq, the candidate
for Representative is an intelligent
farmer of Palmyra, who is well fitted
by birth and education to represent
the working interests of the county.
He enjoys the esteem and confidence
of his neighbors, and for many years
has served them faithfully and ac-
ceptably as a Justice of the Peace.
He is not committed to the fortunes
of Garfield or any of the grabbing
ring, and fraud and corruption will
find no favor with him. The people
of Portage county could not do them
selves a better service than by elect
ing Mr.. Stephens to represent their
interests in the Legislature.
George w. Bard, nominated for
Auditor, is a young mechanic, a
painter, of Brimfeld, young man of
unimpeachable character, of excellent
habits, and well qualified for the Office
for which he hasbeen placed in nomi-
nation, and should receive the undi-
vided support of all the opponents of
the Administration.
For Treasurer, Daniel w. Goss, of
Edinburgh, was placed in nomina-
ton. 1t is hardly necessary, that we
should waste time in speaking of his
qualifications. For many years he
was engaged in the mercantile busl-
ness in Edinburgh and has justly es-
tablished the reputation of being one
of the first business men in the county.
His qualifications no one can dispute,
and his character for honesty and in
tegrity are above reproach.
For Recorder Calvin P. Roden-
baugh was nominated. He isa young
man of excellent qualifications and
character. He resides in the village
of Kent, and is at present an
employe of the A. & G, w. r.
He was a member of the valiant old
Seventh regiment, and while some of
those who are now shouting disloy-
atty to him and his associates was
safely and comfortably enjoying their
homes and fresides, he was fight
ing to preserve the Union of the
fathers, and when the war was ended
he reioined the Democratic army in
it's fight against corruption, pecula-
ton him and fraud. 1-
Isaac II. Phelps, who was nomi-
mated for Prosecuting Attorney, is a
Young man just commencing his pro-
fessional career. He is, we believe,
native of Freedom, this county, and
a man of intelligence and upright
character, who has a bright future be-
fore as an attorney. ei
Samuel F. Hickox, of Aurora, the
nominee for County Commissioner is
a leading farmer of Aurora township,
where he has resided for many years.
1t is no disparagement to others to
say that there is no man in the county
better qualified for the very impor-
tant duties of the Office for which he
has been nominated than he is. His
election would be credit to the peo-
IL &c fbo oonnfu
William PauIus, of Sufield, who
was nominated for the Office of Coro-
ner, is an old citizen of that township,
where he has officlated as Justice of
the Peace for many years, and who is
a man of most excellent business
habits and qualifications. The Office
could not be entrusted to better
hands.
The nomination for Director of the
Infirmary was conferred upon Julius
A. Morgan, of Ravenna, q gentleman
in every way qualified for the posi-
ton. He is farmer who knows how
to take care of his own affairs, and in
whose hands those of the public
would receive faithful attention.
Such is, in brief, the ticket the De-
mocracy have placed in nomination
and for which we most heartily and
cheerfnlly solicit the suffrages of the
people of Portage county. They are,
one and ali good nominations, and
would DO credit to the offices for
which they have respectively been Sc
lected.
