The County Ticket.
As can be seen by referring to the re-
port of the Republican County conven-
tion the delegates there assembled were
representative men of the various town.
ships and it was to have been expected
that they would nominate, as they did, an
unexceptional ticket, and we believe the
ticket presented is the one that is destin-
ed to win.
Edwin z. Perkins, the nominee for
Judge of probate, is young man of more
than ordinary ability, graduate of the
law school of the Michigan University, a
genial and Obliging gentlemen, and
whose qualifications for the Office are
beyond question.
Charles II. Mute candidate for sheriff
is one of our old citizens and is we'll
known throughout the county. Steady,
Industrious and of excellent character,
he is every way worthy the support of the
citizen of our county, and there is no
question but that he will make most
efficient officer.
The candidate for register of deeds,
Ezra A. Faunce, of TuscarOra, is one of
the most enterprising citizens of that
fourishing township, and has done as
much, if not more, than any other citi-
zen towards the rapid development and
settlement of that town. He served on
the Board of Supervisors, and made an
excellent member of the board, and is
every way qualified to make a good reg
lister of deeds.
j. c. Wooster, the candidate for county
clerk, has been connected with Nc
Arthur, Smith & Co.'S extensive mercan-
tile establishment for years, and is a
well known and popular gentleman, and
in case the Board of Supervisors makes
the county clerk separate Office from
that of register, which we think ought to
be done, would fill the position with
credit to himself and our county.
Watts. S. Humphrey, the candidate
for county treasurer, is gentleman SO
well known as to need no special COM
mendatiOn from us. He has made a
most efficient treasurer since he has
held that office and the financial affairs of
the county have never been better man
aged than since he has had charge, and
his denomination is a worthy recognition
of his honest and efficient management
of this important Office.
Frank Shepherd, candidate for prose
cutting attorney, is one of our young, en-
lterprising and rising lawyers. Mr.. Shep-
herd came to Cheboygan in January 1875
and hOisted his shingle, since which
time he has worked up, by diligent at
tention, thriving business. That he
would make an excellent prosecutor
we think, will be conceded by all and
we have no doubt but he VIII receive the
full support of the party at the polls and
be elected.
George E. Frost, for circuit court com.
missioner, is another of our young law
yers who has by diligence and attention
to business worked up very successful
practice, in the short time he has been
practicing in our village and would fill
the position with ability and to the salts
faction of all.
0. S. Hayden, candidate for county
surveyor, is a citizen of TuscarOra. Ht
is civil engineer by education ani
served two terms as county surveyor Of
Gratiot county, in this state, evidence
that he is we'll qualified for the position
and we doubt not he would give perfect
satisfaction. 1t is very important thai
,, in new country like this we should
have man in the position with expert
ence, and this Mr.. Hayden has.
Frank PassenO, of Inverness and ThiliI
O'Brien, of Benton, candidates for cOrO
ners, are both well known citizens, wei
qualified for the position. Taking thu
ticket as whole we do not see how i
could have been bettered, and Think it il
one that will commend itself to the sup
port of all who have the best interests o.
our county at heart.
