Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1875-08-13

shoulder the consequences. Their name,
as in this case, is carefully kept out of
sight. We have no hesitation in facing
the Devil, and all the fabrications and
epithets of an avowed temperance cotem-
pOrary, in defense of temperance on our
account, but we do not care to "go i'm
to anybody else's work at their intiua-
lion.
Elijah Bliss, in renewing his sui scrip
tiOn. writes from his plaoe-High Point,
Guiiford Co., N. g., Aug. I'd II shall ex-
pect to pay for the Telegraph as long as
am aole to read the doings of my ole
friends and neighbOrs in Ashtabula. 1t
is a most welcome sheet Time only in
creases my liking for this people and clI-
mate. Crops are good, but the frosts of
April hurt apples and peaches badly. For
six weeks there has been but one or two
days that we have not heard thunder, and
High Point has had fair supply of rain.
1t has been quite warm, though the ther-
IN ometer during the hottest days, did not
go above 9S We are getting q little
warm on the question of changing the
Constitution, but the Republicans are Op-
posed to the change. and the prospect is
that they will carry too many guns in
favor of The Constitution as it is, for their
opponents. The 9th viii tell the story"
Last week, we gave the call for coun
~ Convention, and accompanied it by
notice of the time for selecting delegates
TO attend it. Very naturally this remind
er of the approach of the time for elect
ing candidates for county offices, put
would -be-candidates on the Qui ViUs. We
hear of some names mentioned of suitable
persons for being brought before the con-
ventlon. For Representative, we pre-
sumo there will be but one sentiment
provided Mr.. Rowland is willing to be
returned. He has made creditable re-
cord, and his constituency feel that they
have been honored in their Representa-
tive, and are generally unanimous in re-
ference to sending him back. Beside
representatives. there has been something
said about Commissioner, as the time
OF Mr.. Morrison expires, and vacancy
will be made in the county board. 1t is
well known that Mr.. NJ. has been an en-
ergetic officer, and the requirements of
the county have been we'll looked after
by the gentlemen composing the board.
We understand that it is the wish of
Messrs. Hurlburt and Peck that Mr.. Nor
rison should be returned, and that the
board should remain intact. Mr.. N. is
willing TO be considered a candidate
again, if the people wish him to remain
their public servant As to prosecutor,
we have heard but two names mentioned
Mr.. Theodore Hall, of Ashtabula-
whose card appears in this number. His
competency for the Office is amply attest
ed by some fourteen years successful
practice and his friends claim for him
this place on the score of courtesy, also,
for not a member of the bar who began
practice with him but that has had his
turn at the wheel. The other is Mr.. E.
B. Leonard, of Jefferson. who. though a
younger man, has made favorable i'm
preston in his profession, and will no
doubt serve the county with fidelity and
devotion. The claims of both these gen.
tlemen will be treated by the convention
with oonsiderate attention.
These, with the exception of Auditor
Crowell, who is announced for re-elec-
ton, are all the candidates we haV heard
named. Mr.. G has been a safe, prompt,
and judicious officer, and has gained the
hearty approval of the Commissioners
and the voters of the county.
