Our County Ticket.

II nominated, would have been well
chosen. Those who came out behind
la the race conducted themselves as
men worthy of Republican support and
engaged in the common congratula-
tions over the very excellent ticket
placed in the field. -,
Our candidates for Representatives
are truly representative men.
HON. E. V. CLEAyER, of Colerain
township, was member Of the last
General Assembly. His private life
has been irreproachable. In all his
business pursuits, whether as an agri-
culturalist or merchant, his motto has
been ',justice to all men," He is an
agreeable, sociable, cultivated gentle
man, easy Of approach, and q man
whose heart beats In kindliest sympa-
thy for the unfortunate or wronged OF
all classes. A nan who has earned his
bread by the sweat of bis brow, he will
be found an earnest worker for the
amelioration of the laboring class. His
career in the last Legislature was such
as to com mand him for further favors
from his party associates. He labored
faithfully for the interests of the people
Of the county, and through his indomit-
able perseverance, and good strategy he
succeeded, with the aid of friends, in
securing the passage of number of
bills of great Importance to our people.
He should be returned without ques-
tion.

his neighbors he enjoys their universal
