I OHEBOYGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21 1876.


i The Republican county convention
met last Thursday and transacted in
satisfactory and business like manner tn
business that came before it. 1t placed
in nomination a ticket for our county OF
ficers which can be conscientiously sup
ported by the citizens of the county will
a perfect feeling of certainty that if elect
ed each one i'm his place will make al
honest and capable officer. The ticket il
headed by
| MR.. THOMAS JARMY
| for sheriff. Mr.. Jarmv is too well known
in the county to need much of all intro
duction at our hands. So well qualified
is Mr.. Jarmy for this position that for {
year or more past his name has beer
talked OF i'm connection with the office
by the leading men ofboth partits. So uni
versally were his claims to the office ac-
knowIedged that it was at one time al
most conceded that his name would be
placed without opposition upon the
tickets of both parties. However, ut the
last moment, the ''ring" (which controls the
Democratic parry of this county. to carry
out its object in other respects, decided
otherwise. The nomination of MIR.
Jarmy was made in obedience to the ex-
pressed wish Of the people, anu the peO-
pie of this county will see that he is tri-
umphantly elecfed. Mr.. Jarrny needs
the Office, and the Office needs Il cornpe-
tent and efficient man TO fill it.
For County Clerk and Register OF
Deeds, the choice of the convention fell
upon
MIR. JOHN II. WATERMAN.
In this case the Office fairly sought the
man. and not tile man the Office. Until
the informal ballo; was taken. whicii
gave him large majority. Mr.. Water.
man did not even know tl,rt his name
had been mentioned in this connection
The choice fell upon him because the
members of the convention Knew that lie
was well qualified for The position. The
people OF the county will do themselves
credit by clecting Mr.. Waterman.
In regard to the candidate Tor County
Treasurer, there WAS scarcely a diversity
of opinion among the delegates. and in
the expression of that opinion politics
was entirely thrown aside. and the
choice almost unanimously fell upon
WIN. III. MAULTBY.
the present old and efficient treasurer.
We know we speak the feelings OF the
entire people when we say there is scarce
ly man in the county but who will vote
for him with pleasure.
For Judge of Probate there was no di-
versity Of opinion, and
HON. GEORGE w. BELL,
the present incumbent, was nominated
by acclamatiOn. In many respects this
is the most important position in the
county. Mr.. Bell has held it for the past
four years. to the entire satisfaction of the
people without exception. He is capa-
BILE, obliging and honest, and for a norri-
nee for the position, nothing more in his
favor could be said. The people will
show their appreciation of Mr.. Bells SER
vices, by reelection to be his own sue
cessor, and his popularity will be shown
by the large majority which he will re-
ceive.
The position of Prosecuting Attorney
was referred to the County committee to
fill or leave vacant as circumstances
might determine as advisable. The rea
son of this was that no one really de-
sired the position.
For County Surveyor.
MIR. GEORGE P. HUMPHREY
was placed in nomination by acclamatiOn.
Mr.. Humphrey has had a thorough sur
veying and engineering education, and is
without doubt the best qualified man in
the county for the position. Withal he is a
genial, popular gentleman, who will re-
ceive very large vote. This office is
one of great Importance. and only the
best qualified men should be sought to
fill it. Ii elected, we will guarantee no
will be made against him.
For Coroners, the convention selected
good men. DR.. A. M. Gcrow, of this
village, and Cyril Le9ault, of Grant.
This completes the ticket. We are willing
to say that never has better ticket, as
whole, ever been placed before the voters
of this county. The work OF the con-
vention was well done, and will be rati-
fed by the people.
