QUE TIoKET.

blOuS Jdko pldC6, huu THIS DeluR the
case it is proper that we should review
the ticket which our Republican
friends are to support. Passing the
National and State tickets by, for the
teason that there is probably not a
voter in the county who has not ere
this fixed his choice, and will vote
accordingly, we will take up the local
candidates. Our candidate for Presi-
dent Judge,
Hon. VIM. d. BROWN,
Of Warren, is one of the soundest and
most talented lawyers in the State, as
is readily admitted by men of all
parties. The office of the Judge of
our courts :s, we may say, the most
important in the gift Of the people,
and should be filed by a conscientious,
unbiased and learned lawyer. We
believe we speak the sentiments Of all
of Mr.. Browne acquaintance when
we say that he fills these requirements
to the letter. He is a gentleman of
unimpeachable character, having Il
spotless record is kind, agreeable and
pleasant,-a man as near perfection
as it is possible for the human heart
to get is just in the stage of life when
the mental faculties are the soundest
and clearest. With VIM. D. Brown
as President of our courts VIC would
have Judge second to none in the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, and
one to whom we can all point with
eminent pride and satisfaction. AS to
Judge Rasselas Brown, his opponent,
we have not word to say against his
personal character or his legal attain
ments, and there is no one who doubts
but that he would fill the petition with
good satisfaction. Yet there is one
very important fact to be taken into
consideration, and that is, that Judge
r. Brown is in his sixty.ninth year /;
ten years would make him nearly
eighty years of age, which we consider
is very great objection to his election
to the important Office Of President
Judge. One other fact: The Green.
hackers have endorsed Judge Brown /;
he is straight-out Democrat; they
claim that politics has nothing to do
with the Judgeship. If that is the
case we can not see how they are
bound by that endorsement, and we
think they should have been left to
act according to their own free will.
Give these facts fairs consideration,
gentlemen, and we candidly believe
William D. Brown will come ont of
Forest County with a good majority.
GEN. HARRY WHITE,
our honored and talented member of
Congress, is too we'll known to the peo.
pie of Forest county to reed any puff
fing from US. His record as State
Senator, Member of the Constitutional
Convention, and Member Of Congress,
is without spot or blemish. About
the only thing his defamers have had
to say against him is that he never did
anything for Forest county. In the
name of Justice, we would ask what is
there to do for Forest County? One
thing our citizens should not lose sight
Of, and for which they should ever hold
Gen. White in grateful remembrance,
and that is, that his hand framed the
bill, while in the Senate, that erected
Forest into a county. This is one
glorious act which Gen. White did for
the good of Forest County. Another
is his persistent and untiring energies
in securing an appropriation for the
improvement of the navigation Of the
Allegheny River, something that will
prove blessing to the lumbermen and
pilots of Forest County as long as there
is a stick of timber left in her borders.
He has watched over and cared for his
district while in Congress as no man
in that body ever has, and for which
he has received at times the censure Of
his colleagues in Congress. AS a de-
batter he has few equals in the halls of
Congress, and is ready at any moment
to get up and protect the interests Of
his constituents. Would it not, then,
be better to return a man of this kind,
