oUR COUNTY TICKET.


the Republican Primaries of this
county took place and the ticket of
the party placed in the field. During
that time we have conversed with
many Republicans. from different parts
of the county and we have yet TO hear
one word of complaint or dissatisfac-
ton with the ticket nominated. They
all say it will be supported cheerfully,
and are firm in the belief that it will
be elected without the loss of man.
A few comments may not be ont of
place 10 this connection:
FOR PRoTHoNoTARY &C,
We have Justis Shawkey, the present
efficient incumbent. Tt seemed almost
foregone conclusion from the start
that he would be re-nominated, and
the uuanimity with which he was sup
ported fully attests his popularity as a
man and official, showing that the
people are we'll please with the manner
in which he has performed his duties.
Tie Proihontary's Office under his ad.
ministratiou has been conducted in a
superior manner, the books and rec
ords being in a better shape now than
they ever were before, as all who have
bad business there will readily agree.
We have heard it stated frequently,
that lawyars and business men living
out of the county who have done busi-
ness here, and who are competent to
Judge, have said that few Offices in the
State were better kept than the Pro-
thonotary's Office of Forest county.
Our citizens justly feel proud over this
and will attest the same by hand.
some majority for Mr.. Shawkey in the
November election.
FOR SHERIFF,
We have one of the best and strongest
men that could be found in the county,
Capt. G. w. Clark, of Tionesta town
ship. No man can truthfally say
aught against Capt Clark as a man
and citizen. He has always been g
true Republican, never finchirg from
his duty to the party, and performing
yeoman service in many spirited
campaign. This he has done through
principle-beeause he loved the prin
ciples OF the party-never with the
expectation that his reward would
come in the shape of an Office. While
be has been a war horse in the Re
publican party, he has never mad
himself obnoxious or incurred the i'll
will of bis political opponents on tb
contrary they admire him for hi
Straightforward, manly course. AS
citizen and neighbor he stands high il
the estimation of those in his commu
nifty. He is we'll qualified for the pos
ition, being man Of excellent iudg
ment, and discretion; stern, yet yer
kind at heart, and never stubborn. /
better man could not be found in th
county-an assertion in which all hi
acquaintances will bear us out. Cap
Clark has a brilliant war record,
which we may speak in the future
He is worthy of the support of ever
Republican in the county, and "
have every confidence he will receiy
il, and be our next Sheriff.
FOR COMMISSIONERS,
The lucky numbers we're drawn
Henry w. Lsdebur of Green, an
James S, Henderson of Hickory tow

for the Office which he has so credits
