THE TICKET

Above will be found the full Republi-
can ticket, except State Senator, who has
not yet been nominated. The Republi-
can State Central Committee sent us the
State ticket, and we have the names all
correct. We do not now and here desire
to speak of the State ticket.
The county ticket is one of the very
best ever nominated in Jackson county,
and is SO regarded by the people, of both
parties.
James B. Paine, candidate for Repre-
sentative, is now well known to the peo-
pie of the county. Allen o. Myers,
Democratic clerk of the Ohio Senate, has
got out a book, giving short sketch of
the members of the Ohio Legislature, and
here is what he has to say of Mr.. Paine ::

the Hon. A. B. Monahan, by majority of 259.
He has always been Republican.
Milton G. Keenan,, candidate for Trea-
surer is man in the prime of life, and
is an active. intelligent man. He is a
son of Beverly Keenan,, who was SO many
years county Surveyor. Mr.. Keenan, was
born and raised in Milton township,
Jackson county, has always been Re-
publican, and his army record is an ex-
cellent one. Men who served in the
army with him speak very highly of him,
both as a soldier and man of integrity
John, Williams, candidate for county
Commissioner, resides in Jefferson town
ship, between Cross Roads and Oak HILL
He is farmer, and is also well acquainted
with the furnace business He is per-
haps fifty years of age, and has been a
Republican ever since the organization
of the party, and he remarked in the
convention, when making the pledge to
support the nominees, that he had been
Republican too long to be any thing
else.
Enoch Ell. Lewis, candidate for Record
er, is now holding that office, which he
has filled to the entire satisfaction of all
with whom he has had business. He is
man of excellent character, well quail
fed to fill the Office, attends strictly to
business, and does not meddle with the
business of others.
We have known Stephen B. Dixon,
candidate for Infrmary Director, for
about thirty years. He has resided all
that time in Hamilton township He
may be described as a Christian gentle
man. He is honest, kind hearted, intel.
ligent, and no man has led purer life
We taught school in his district more
than quarter of a century ago, and part
of the time boarded at his house, and we
have known him quite well ever since,
and we have very high opinion of his
character. The unfortunate paupers will
have sympathetic friend in Stephen B.
Dixon.
Evan G. Jones, candidate for Surveyor,
is of Welsh descent, as is Mr.. Lewis, the
Recorder. We have known Mr.. Jones
since his childhood. He was raised near
Oak Hill, and is man of good character.
He is now holding the Office. by appoint
ment He served as Surveyor of Rice
county. Kansas, for some time, and is
fully qualified to discharge the duties of
the Office.
Such is the ticket the Republicans pre-
sent to the voters of Jackson county this
year, and it is a ticket of which any party
might feel proud. There is not man
on the ticket who has not the confidence
of those who know him best This tick
ct should be elected by majority of at
least FIVE hundred.
