The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-09-10

1t is not every year-in fact ii is seldom,
that we are fully satisfied with the plat
form and all the candidates of our party.
We have been disgusted with a portion
Of the State platform nearly every year.
But this year no reasonable man can find
any fault with either platform or oandi-
dates. We publish the platforms of the
two parties, and ask our readers to COM
pare them, and observe the difference.
We print the ticket of the Republican
party. 1t is most remarkably good
ticket.
Allen T. Wikoff is the present Secreta-
ry of State, and is one of the most indus
trious, competent and honest officers the
State has ever had His election is
fixed fact.
Thomas W. Harvey, the present eff
cient Commissioner of Common Schools,
is just the man for the position. and no
one has ever found fault with him either
in his official capacity, or in any other
way.
s. R. Hosmer is the present Member Of
the Board of Public Works, and no better
man has ever held that position.
The same may be said of Rodney Foos
and Judge Day They have filed their
Offices with industry and ability, and
should be reelected.
Judge johnson is known to our read
ers. He long held the Office of Judge of
the Common Ple1s, and several times
held court at this place. All admit that
he possesses one of the finest legal minds
in the State He is a candidate to fill a
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Judge Stone. Judge Johnson was twice
elected Judge without opposition, the
Democrats admitting that they had no
man his equal in the party He should
receive the almost unanimous vote of
the people in this part of Southern Ohio
OF FL. S. Bundy it is not necessary for
us to speak. Everybody knows him. He
has had large experience in legislative
business. He served in the Ohio Legis-
lature, both in the House and Senate,
and then one term in Congress prior to
the present term. In all official positions
he has been faithful, prudent and indus
trioris. He has had large experience in
the business affairs of life, as a laboring
man, merchant, manufacturer, and
best of all, as prosperous farmer. His
life has been pure and blameless 1t is a
good thing to be in profession moral,
temperate and religious man, but Mr..
Bundy has been all this in practice, at all
times, in all places, and under all circum-
stances. A very large number of Demo
Gratis. of the better class, will quietly vote
for Mr.. Bundy. If he and his opponent
were running without party Endorsement,
he would get ninestenths of the votes in
the district
Robert w. Hubbard, our candidate for
Sheriff, is also q man without reproach
The great, besetting failing of Sheriffs
has been indulging in the use of intoxi-
eating liquors. Several good men have
been ruined in this way. 1t is dangerous
to elect any man to the office of Sheriff
who ever tastes liquor, much more so a
man who indulges in tippling every day.
Sheriff Hubbard does not touch, taste or
handle the dangerous thing Let the
people bear this in mind
John T. Leach is son of Thompson
Leach, of Jackson township, and is a
man of pure character, and much above
the average in point of talent and ability
John D. Brown is decidedly one of the
best men in the county. As soldier in
the army, school teacher, School Exam
iner, and other callings, he has always
shown himself faithful, competent and
honest.
George w. Brown, at present one of
the County Commissioners, has rendered
very general satisfaction. He is a shrewd,
careful farmer, and the business of the
county is safe in his hands. His election
is foregone conclusion.
John L. Jones has served as Prosecut-
ing Attorney six years, and there is no
more thoroughly posted criminal lawyer
in the State. All admit his superior
qualifications for the Office, and we pre-
sumo the Democrats Will not put up any
candidate against him, as they fully adj
nit his superior fitness for the position,
and are equally interested IN having
Prosecutor of which the county may well
feel proud.
W. s. Schellenger served many years
as Justice of the Peace in Franklin town.
ship and six Years as County Commis-
sioner. He is a thoroughly competent
and honest man. The office is a new
one in our ceaaty, and will require the
of large sums of money,
and viii involve upon the Directors the
care and welfare of many of the unfor-
tunate and helpless of our race. Good
men should be put into this Office.
Joseph Rule is also one of the solid
men of our county. Many years he
served as Justice of the Peace in Madison
