Taxpayers Ticket.
Tie Convention Last Tuesday.

The convention which met at the
Court House last Tuesday was com
posed of body Of men who have the
welfare Of the county at heart, and
who, BY the light of experience, and
actuated wholly by unselfsh motives,
resolved to ignore everything of par
ty character, and strive in the nomina-
tion of such a ticket IS could not be
otherwise than acceptable to the tax
navers and voters of Wood County
How well it has succeeded can be
seen in the list of unexceptionable men
whom it has placed before the people
for their suffrages on the Sd of Novem-
Der. In its deliberations, everything
was weighed with due candOr, that the
best interests of the people might be
subseryed, and that in the election of
its candidates, the manifold wants OF
the whole county might be met fairly
and unequiyocally by such servants of
the people as would cast no reproach
upon the positions they shall be called
upon to fill. The nominations are a
grand triumph. The demands OF a
patient people have been anticipated,
4
and we arc sure the voters OF Wood
County will ratify the nominations at
the polls by majority that will spread
CONSERVATION among the enemies OF
GOOD government, and restore conf
dence in the breasts of all who have
longed to witness a faithful, capable
and honest discharge of official duty in
county affairs We need not recount
the merits of the men chosen for the
several positions upon the County tick
ct. Mr. Dutruit's long experience and
integrity in Office have placed him up
on both tickets before the people. Mr..
+. J. Wood, for County Clerk, is the
best man in Wood County for that po-
sition. He is an excellent accountant,
diligent, always accommodating and
cautious; has never sought office, and
comes before the people with a record
for integrity and unimpeachable honor
that is sufficient guarantee that in
his keeping the interests of the eoun-
ty will be guarded most faithfully.
Mr.. King. of the firm of Daily 4 King,
is SO we'll known that we need not speak
of him other than to state the fact
that he is in every way qualified for
the position for which he Is nominated;
is an excellent penman, and a careful
and correct scribe. +. W. Burt is the
present incumbent of the Court desk,
and has made faithful officer. MIR.
j. l.. Cotey is an old resident, and has
hosts of friends. He is eminently
qualified to discharge the duties of
Sheriff. For District Attorney the
convention did wisely in nominating SO
excellent a man as Geo. Il. Gardner.
Wood County never had a more faith
full officer, as she has no man within
her borders better qualified for the po-
sition He will discharge every duty
incumbent upon him impartiaiiy and
anhinchingly. Mr.. Scott, for Survey
or, now holds that position, having
been elected two years ago. Mr.
Grace, for Coroner, will give great
weight to the ticket, and as no one
would like to have him sit on
him, <here will be fewer deaths the
next two years We expect for him a
big job after election, for " that other
ticket must be taken care of imme-
diately after its deccase-
