The Democratic Ticket.

II
The Democratic county convention
has met and done its work by placing
in the field full ticket, and although
several true and deserving Democrats
failed to be recognized by the conven-
ton, it is but just to say that the en-
tire ticket deserves and we sincerely
hope it will receive the unqualified en-
dorsement of the united Democracy of
Cambria county. Let us refer briefly
to the several candidates:
Henry Scanlan, Esq, of Carroll
town, was nominated for Assembly on
the first ballot Mr. Scanlan was born
In Cambria township, about five miles
north of Ebensburg and is now we
presume some 55 years of age. He is
a plain, practical man, possessing a
fair education and sound Judgment,
and will make a faithful, honest and
reliable representative. He has never
held any Office except that of County
Surveyor, which he has filled with no.
table ability and integrity, and to the
entire satisfaction of the people. What
gave Mr.. Scanlan a peculiar advantage
over his talented and worthy opponent,
Mr.. \. Horne, is the fact that while
the weight of the Democratic vote is
north of Ebensburg, that section of the
county has never vet been represented
in the Legislature by Democrat from
among her own citizens.
For Sheriff, Herman Banner, of
Conemaugh borough, has been nomi-
mated. He is of German parentage,
is a thorough business man, in the
pine and vigor Of life, and possesses
the ability to perform the duties of
the office with safety and advantage
t. himself and the peOple-the integri-
ty to do justice to all, and the human
ity not to be oppressive to the poor
and unfortunate. We predict that the
office SO efficiently filled by Buck. a
Myers, Blair, and a Bonacker, will
find an equally competent incumbent
in Herman Banner.
A ID. CriStc, the nominee for Trca-
surer, was born in the eastern part of
Cambria county, and, with the eXcep-
ton Of very brief interruption, has
spent his whole life within her borders.
John Cristc, his father, was one of the
earliest settlers Of this county. and of
oOilS oil CllhCl lbEIneGS or
mechanics except the youngest A d.
Criste, the subject of this notice, who,
owing to an injury which untitled him
for manual labor, was compelled to re-
sort to business pursuits. He is emf
nently qualified for the office for which
he has been nominated, and deserves
to be triumphantly elected, as we con-
fidently hope he will be.
Edward Glass, of Ebensburg. the
candidate for Commissioner, has on
two several occasions held the position
for which he is now named, and his
success then is a sure harbinger of his
success pOtC. While previously occu-
pying the position it is admitted by all
that he watched the interests of the
people with an argus eve, and did more
to preserve the public buildings from
decay than any other occupant of the
office.
Our nominee for Poor House Di-
rector, Anselm Weallland, was born
within few miles of his present resi-
dence in Chest township. He is a
farmer of studious and industrious
habits, and has no political ambition
other than to become faithful guar.
dian of the public interests.
Henry Topper, the choice for Jury
Commissioner, is also native of Cam
bria county. He is n gentleman OF
sterling worth and unflinching integri-
ty, and possessing as he does a thor
ough acquaintance with the people OF
the county, is peculiarly fitted to fill
the jury box.
For Coroner no better selection. a.
well in the matter of location as of fit
ness, could have been made than that O
r. III. Singer. The duties of that offic,
require an incumbent to reside at o.
near Johnstown, and no more suisabl,
person could have been selected thai
Mr. Singer
Lastly, Henry p FreidhOf, the gen
tleman named for Auditor, is an intel
ligent citizen of Conemaugh borough
and, as his name indicates, is of Ger
man extraction He is good penma,
and is in every other way qualified 70
