COUNTY POLITICS.

likely to have q lttle NOME eN0'''ii'e'''
in the politics of our county this year.
All right, gentlemen. our columns are
open to the presentation ofcandidates,
but not to the retailing Of personal
Islander and spite. Our suggestion OF
Two weeks ago in regard to States
Attorney, Side Judge and Judge OF
Probate. seem to meet with general
favor. We need for Side Judge such
man as Mr.. Small, and the county
will appreciate the favorshould he find
that his health will allow of his at
tempting the duties of the office. For
Judge of Probate there are several
good reasons why Mr.. Griswold should
be retained in that office. lie has
given good satisfaction he is re-
markably neatpenman, and in keeping
the records of the court this is no
mean qualification. BY shifting from
this to that man who may think him
self perfectly qualified for the office,
we are liable to secure some bungler
who has not ability enough to keep
book of accounts of his own, and
since the records of the Probate Court
are sometimes to be looked up, it is a
matter of some importance to have
the records kept in neat and legible
manner. There may be plenty of Re
publican aspirants that can do this.
If there is, let us be sure that we pick
out such a one. On Senatorship
we have received the following COM
munication from very prominent
men in Wolcott and but for our alb
sence it would have appeared last
week:
Mr.. Editor AS the time has ar
rived when the question as to who
shall represent the County in the State
Senate the next two years is soon to
be decided, and as several prominent
men of ability in different parts of the
county have been mentioned in con-
nection with that office, allow me to
suggest that the town Of Wolcott will
claim the honor of naming from among
the worthy Of the town, one to whom
the honor shall fall to represent the
county in the next term Of the Legisla-
ture, and as the town brought forward
a man two years ago, that was not
then acceptable to the county, and is
not now acceptable to the town, VOL
colt this year will present the name
of another of her citizens and claim
the support of the county for the man
they present, a man whose record
as q legislator stands well in the State
and county, and who if elected by the
county at their next election, will serve
the county with ability and fidelity.
That man is DR.. +. p. Fairman, a
man every way worthy of the support
of the Republicans of the county
Wolcott will claim Senator, and it will
insist on their claim this year, from
the fact that the town has never vet
been thus honored. WoLCoTT.
AS to Sheriff we most heartily en-
dorse the following from the Citizen !.
"For Sheriff we should like to see
Mr.. Sherwin reelected. He has done
fine thing for the county in fixing up
the county buildings, and the Jail, so
that there is no danger that a prisoner
will fall out and break his neck"
Mr.. Sherwin is q man in the best
sense of the term and the county will
do itself an injustice if it does not re-
elect him to office. We like to see
men in such positions who temper the
execution of justice with mercy and
humanity, which can very truthfully be
said of Mr.. Sherwin's administration
of the office. The contest in Wolcot
looks very much as though we should
have to go elsewhere for q Senator
Perhaps the town will unite to send :
man, but at present it does not lool
very encouraging, and we apprehent
that either Kelley or Parker Of Elmor
will be the favored party.
Wolcott is evidently wide awake, q
we have received the following, ais
from citizen Of that town. Two year
ago the town got into fight whic
resulted in the defeat of their cand
date for Senator and also in cuttln
them out of a town representative. =
They may fight among themselves a
they choose, but must not feel grout
If in case they are in confusion anotl

rightfully belong to her. What til
correspondent says of G. s. Parker
we consider one of the best of reason
why he should be chosen, if Wolco
