TIE COUNTY TICKET.


In last weeks issue Of onr paper we
briefly but earnestly urged the hearty
and enthusiastic support by every
Democrat of the ticket placed in nom
nation by the late county convention.
As the convention was perfectly harmO-
nious. so ought its action meet with q
cordial response from the Democracy
of the county. That such will be the
result we do not for moment doubt.
JAMES NJ SINGER, the present Reg
ister and Recorder, was renomnated
on the first ballot His opponents
were all worthy and competent men,
and any one of them would have faith
fully and creditably discharged the
duties of the office This renewed
mark of confidence I'm Mr.. SINGER as
faithful, obiiging and entirely eompe-
tent officer, is therefore highly compli-
mentary to him. In his election, the
people of the whole county will feel
entirely confident that for the next
three wears the duties of Register and
Recorder will be discharged as salts
Yactorilv to them and their interests as
they have been during Mr.. Singers
present term of Office.
NICHOLAS j. FREIDHOFF, of Cone
maugh borough, is the candidate for
County Treasurer, and thereby hangs
n tale which we are 10th 20 unfold. OF
him we NAV say, as was said of old by
n defeated General in reference to his
successful rival, "GTedt let me call hjn,
for he conquered me-" The contest for
the nomination for this Office was stub
born and protracted, and rs Mr.. Freid-
hoff owing to circumstances which it
is now needless to mention, but which
in no way compromised that gentle
man. held in his hand the winning
cards. and as he is an honest man and
worthy and Lightly respectable citizen
of the firm and steadfast Democratic
borough of Conemaugh, we viii give
him in the columns of the FREEMAN

this county as any one other of hcl
citizens. His firm and consistent sup
port during somewhat protractcd lit'
of the men and measures OF the Dem
ocratic party will command for him it'
united and vigorous support. Mr.
Campbell is now q candidate for th
third time. having been elected to the
same Office in 1862 and in 1865. Dur
ino the six wears of his official caree
he well and faithfully performed th'
duties of the responsible trust whicl
was committed to him, and when w
have said that much in his praise, w
feel sure that the Democracy of Cam
