Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1879-11-20
l., w. Buckmaster for Railroad
Commissioners.


The GAINESVILLE Daily Courier of the
10Th copies the HERALD's notice Of Mr..
Buckmaster's candidacy for commits
sioner of railroads and telegraphs, and
says:
"The Courier indorses every word Of
it. Mr.. Buckmaster was born and ed
ucated in GAINESVILLE. He is man of
more than ordinary abilities, industri-
Gus, energetic, enterprising. He has
been q thorough Republican from his
youth, and always enthusiastic in the
cause. He started out in the world q
mere boy, unaided and alone; and
worked his own way up. He is polite,
genial, obliging and conscientious in
the discharge of any duty devOlving
upon him. He is just the man for the
position of commissioner of railroads
and telegraphs. In that office he would
make hosts of friends, and add strength
to the Republican party. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Buckmaster would give
great satisfaction to the Republicans of
the Muskingum Valley. 1t always
gives us great pleasure to recommend
a young man of such sterling worth to
position for which he possesses such
eminent qualifications"
The Circleville Union of the 18th no.
tices Mr.. L. W. Buckmaster's candidacy
for the appointment of railroad COM
missioner, and adds: "Mr. Buckmaster
has many Jealous friends in Circleville
who would rejoice in his preferment.
He is a sterling Republican, a genial
gentleman, and, should the mantle Of
Office fall upon him, one who could
wear it with becoming dignity. From
his boyhood he has been railroading,
and has a thorough knowledge of the
business"
The Circleville Democrat of the 14th
says:
We are informed that Republicans
of Pickaway, Fayette and other coun-
ties will urge the appointment of L.
W. Buckmaster, of Washington 9. H :,
for railroad commissioner. "Buck"
would be "the right man in the right
place" and Governor Foster could not
make better selection.
The Cincinnati Ga@ette'S Washington
G. H., correspondent says:
We learn with much pleasure that the
name of L. w. Buckmaster, the pOpu-
lar conductor on the Pittsburg, Cincin- r.
natl and St. Louis Railway, is being
spoken of by his many in &
iuential friends throughout the State
Is the most suitable man that Governor c
Foster could select as the successor of a
William Bell for railroad commissioner. a
Mr.. B. is a man of integrity, of sober S
md industrious habits, polished gen. Il
leman, and has had an experience of t
eVenteen years in railroading, which a
would pre-eminently qualify him for p
hat position. Governor Foster could Il
make no better selection, and one that a.
would give entire satisfaction to all.
W. C. Gould, editor of the Jackson >,
IeraJd (DemocratiC), knows from per- II
Onal experience that it is not always ii
he best man who "gets there" He P
ays: n r
Gosh We notice that L. w. Buck 4,
laster is mentioned as q suitable per- P
On for railroad commissioner. There's m
0 danger Of one 80 competent and gem a,
emanly being appointed"
We'would remind Brother Gould that
le coming administration will be Re
ublican, and appointments will be pa
ade with some reference to compe- tn IN
nee and fitness, tn
