The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1876-10-27
Eorarnr,l. Democrats!

Tildeu dsHendricks majority of over
1900, aud will elect tie entire Democratic
county ticket without single exception.
Aud why should she fail to do so? Does
not our whole ticket, nominated fairly in
full convention with open doors, present
to the people good and true meu well de-
serving of their united support?
| OF Hon. John Reilly we need scarcely
! speak. Reared in the humble abode of
honest poverty, he, by his business talent,
! by his energy, and by a character for puri-
| ty and integrity that has never been and
never can be assailed, has reached his pres
| ent honorable and well merited position.
| w. Fiske Conrad, the Democratic NOM
ineo for State Senator, is in all respects
more than the peer of j Ohm 4. Lemon, and
as the district is Democratic we feel assured
of his triumphant election.
Our candidates for Assembly are without
flaw and above reproach, both being men
of integrity and good repute. Capt. John
DOwney, q Cambrian by birth, served his
country gallantly in tho war of the rebel
lion, and is now called rebol because he
is no. radical. James j. Thomas, the
favorte son Of northern Cambria, is too
well known to need An introduction from
US. A fearless, outspolzen and intelligent
Democrat, the vote he is sure to receive
will bear ample testimony to the high APP
probation i'll which he is held. These are
the gentlemen whom the people have NOM
mated against the ring candidates, John Ii.
Brown, q briefess lawyer, and W. II.
Sloan, young physician from Indiana
county, neither of whom, however, are re-
cciyiug any aid or comfort from the men
who were foremost in placing them upon the
Republican ticket, although Democrats are
expected to vote for and elect them.
Next OH the list is our worthy candidate
for Sheriff, Mr.. j Ohm Ryan, the chief object
of radical attack and the man above all
Others on our ticket whom the desperate
leaders Of The Republican party are doing
their utmost To defeat. Vain, however,
will be their efforts, for during a residence
in ous county Of over tweiity-one years,
most of the time as "A merchant Of acknowl-
edsedntegrity and unimpeachablo honesty.
he has won a name aud "a fame that n,.s5
secure for him the endorsement of a large
majority Of our people, espec. lIy in view
Of the fac. that he has never had a lawsuit
and never oppressed any one in tho effort to
secure his own just rights. Always voting
the Democratic ticket, he never until now
sought an office, although eminently fitted
to fill any position of trust or profit within
the gift of our people. But the ring poll
ticians who are opposing him say that he
cannot electioneer, to which we reply that
if TO bribe voters by the use of OTHER PEo-
PIES MONEY and 10 trdGe and barter for
c0tes DO electioneering, then John Ryan
is certainly not an adept at the business
But if honesty, integrity and purity of life
are passports to public favor in Cambria
county. thon Mr.. Ryan will have no diff
Guilty in leading his competitor by not less
than one thousand majority.
And now a word or two about our candi-
/ dates for Associate Judge. Hon. John
! Flanagan, one of tho nominees for this
important position, has already occupied a
| place on the bench for nearly five years,
| performing his duties with honor to him
self and credit to the county and as the
people are well aware Of bis integrity and
| fitness, his majority in the county will be
greater than that of even Tilden and Hen
bricks. Mr.. John ID. Thomas, the other
| candidate for Associate Judge, is an honest.
| industrious mechanic, who has spent almost
bis entire life in the county. He belongs
to a family whose Democratic record is
| above reproach, and he himself, by his &C
tive and untiring efforts on behalf of the
cause, has done his full share in keeping
that record bright and clean. True, we
| are told that on one occasion he opposed
the nominees of his own party and aide d
i'll the election of the Republican candidate
FOR Assembly on that occasion Without
either affirming or denying this allegation,
we see no good reason in it for opposino
him at this time, especially when his com
petitor is Richard Jones' who in return for
| only one Democratic vote cast by him dur
ing his entire lifetime, was elected Associ.
ate Judge for five years, but had scarcely
entered upon the duties of the office tc
which the Democracy had elected him
when he went back to his first love. from
which he has never since departed. a man
who thus betrays both parties is undeserv.
ing the support of either, and the vote
which is sure 20 be polled against him on
election Gay will show very plainly that his
political standing in the county is very de-
cidedly below par.
OF the candidates for Poor Director and
Jury Commissioner, Messrs. Wissinger and
Cramer, it is almost needless to say that
better men for the respective positions
could not have been named. They are
both honest and upright men, fully compe
tent and deserving, and that they will re-
ceivc the united support of the party there
cannot be a shadow of doubt.
Such, in brief, is our county ticket, and
whether we look at principles or at men,
we feel strong and invincible against the
