The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1880-06-30

Forests choice for President Judge IN |
the district composed of Warren, Elk,
and Forest counties, is a gent tleman |
emincntly fitted for the position. He
is man of strictest integrity, and one
of the ablest lawyers in the State. He
will undoubtedly get the instructions
of the other counties, and after the
November election will grace the Ju-
dcial ermine of this district.
Z. L. Davis, Esq, our nominee for
Assembly, is we'll known to every
voter in the county, with, perhaps, q
very few exceptions, and really needs
no eulogy from us. Two years ago he
was a candidate for the nomination of
the same office, and was defeated by
a small majority. He took his defeat
manfully; was made Chairman of the
county committee, and in that capacity,
conducted one Of the best and most
spirited campaigns ever witnessed in
this county. 1t was conceded by all
that to his able and untiring efforts
was largely due the success of the en-.
tire ticket. Since then he has labored
incessantly and done noble and telling
work for the party. Every true Re-
publican in Forest county will take
infinite pleasure in working for the
election of Mr.. Davis, because they
feel that they owe him debt of graf
itude for his excellent services for the
party in a timo when others we're de-
serting its ranks, and the prospects for
success looked gloomy. His course
has been one to challenge the admira-
tion of his most bitter opposers. Of
Mr.. Davis fitness for the position
there is not a question. An old citi'
zen of the county, thoroughly posted
in National affairs, as we'll as the needs
and wants of his constituents, he will
be Just the man Forest county wants
to look after her in the Legislature oi
the State.
Mr.. Amza Purdy, of Green town
ship, our candidate for Associate Judge
is man against whom no one can say
aught, and we doubt ifhe has an enemy
in the world. He came to this section
with his parents and settled on Tio
nesla creek over fifty years ago. ID
was then but a child. With the ex
ception of about year and half h
has lived here ever since. Mr.. Purd,
has always lived in peace with hi
~ neighbors who have learned to Low
q and respect him like father. He ha
- always been great reader and ha
y kept himself posted on the affairs c
" the day. His judgment could be relic
y upon on all matters that would nat
W urally come before him in the capacit
'' of Associate Judge. He has been
;" true Republican ever since the part
= was organized, and has never bee
- - known to go back on the ticket. l.
" us hope that the party will stick
% him as he has stuck to it.
''' The nomination of Mr.. N. S. For
: man, for County Treasurer, is conc
nv ded on all hands to be one of Il
~ ;" wisest and best that could possib
No have been made. He has been Gil
~ zen of the county for many years, b
" W. owing to his quiet and unassumiI
W. manner has not become as extensive
g" acquainted as might be wished, y
w where he is known he needs not
:, slightest recommendation. Mr.. Fol
man is carpenter by trade, and duri
~ all our acquaintance with him
"'' have never known him to be idle
'' hour, unless on account of sickness
" disability. BY his energy and thu
l. ~ ~ be has accumulated enough to bu
= him a neat home in town, with perhi
'1o little laid by for rainy day. SIN
g. Foreman is one of the squarest men
~ ~ is our pleasure to know owes no n
' NV, a dollar, and meets every obligat
promptly. He will make trusty 8
most efficient Treasurer, and the flu
lous of the county will be secure in
has hands. He will sweep the DO
high wherever he is known.
