\ Our county conyention on Tuesday was
composed of 1lS delegates, largely made
h6 81 representative men Of the county.
They came to do the best they could for
Inv cause, with view to victory. Itwas
In some cases a difficult job, having to
.ohoSs6 between worthy friends. They,
bnwever, went through their work delib-
ely, doing what seemed to them best
nder all the circumstances, Let us
elance at the ticket, and see who are the
gentlemen nominated for the respective
positions, for they may not be all known
to our readers.
The first gentleman nominated for
Representative was Dr.. ]. FL. SANoR OF
Minerva. He is a physician of good
practice, and looks like man of solid
parts, as all know him to be who are ac-
uuainted with the Doctor, He is hardly
forty years of age, and is gentleman of
good intelligence and high character
DR.. sanor can be trusted as member Of
the General Assembly.
CONRAD N. 0BERLIN Of Massillon, was
nominated for Representative on the
second hitch. He has been prominent
business man in Massillon for many
years, and always popular as such. He
has filled various town positions from
time to time, and always aCceptably.
In our General Assembly Mr.. Oberlin
would make faithful and trustworthy
member.
TIMOTHY SULLIVAN, our present worthy
and faithful incumbent of the County
Treasury, was very properly renominated
by acClamation. His careful and atten'
tive management of that Office is we'll
understood and appreciated by the peo-
pie, and we doubt not our taxpayers will
see that Mr.. Sullivan is reelected. He
is eminently fit and worthy,
HENRY ALTEKRUsE of Massillon, our
nominee for Sheriff, has lived in that
town as boy and man for many years,
and always stood we'll in that communi-
ty. No one doubts Henry's quali6ca.
tions for the position to which he is
nominated, and his popularity, wherever
he is known, is unquestioned. He has
a large acquaintance over the county,
and his appearance and physical proper
tions enables people to remember him
without difficulty. AS to age he may be
nearer forty than thirty, so that he is just
the right age to serve four years as SHEER.
IFF OF STARK COUNTY.
JOHN G. WELTY ESQ, is our nominee
for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr.. Welty
has been at the Bar for several years and
stands we'll. He has been twice elected
City Solicitor of Canton by rousing ma
jorities over worthy Republican oppo.
nents. Prosecutor Shields, when absent
short time since, got Mr.. Welty to take
charge of the criminal cases before the
Probate Court. Mr.. Welty is a young
lawyer of promise, is industrious and at
tentive to business. He will make
worthy Prosecuting Attorney.
P. L. MANLY was of course renominat-
ed for Recorder. Stark county never has
had Recorder more faithful, attentive
and careful. He is prompt and obliging
and in all respects reliable. Mr.. Manly
we'll deserves to be reelected.
]. M. SHETLAR, nominee for County
Commissioner, is respected citizen OF
Beach city. The town was laid out on
his farm when the Tuscarawss Valley r.
R., was built through there. Mr.. Shetlar
is a man of good business experience,
and will be q safe and reliable man to
assist in the management of our impor.
tant county affairs.
THOMAS MCCALL, nominated for mfr
mary Director, has for some years been
a resident of Canton. AS boy and man
he has lived nearly all his life in Stark
county, and Sandy township. He is
we'll known over the county. The peo-
pie of Stark could not get better man
for the position.
JOHN H. HoLI, candidate for County
Surveyor, has served in that capacity for
the past three years, and quite accepta.
bly,. Mr.. Holl is Jackson township
boy, and son of Esquire Reuben Holl.
&C. CARD, our candidate for Coroner,
is citizen of Alliance, has served as
deputy Sheriff of Sheriff Rauch for sew
eral years, and is 81 active, worthy DEM

We have thus briefly referred to the

bespeak for them proper consideration
from all good citizens of Stark county.
That our nominees are worthy will not
be disputed. and, we doubt not they will
be triumphantly endorsed by the voting
citizens OF the county. Let our friends
zee to il from this out.
