The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-09-01

hon. u. y. TUBBS by a SINAI majority,
and for the Senate two years ago, money
corrupted the ballot box and elected the
Republican nominee over him. Mr.. Ed
son is too we'll known in the county to
need any ''send off, as our candidate
He is a live man all over, a representa-
tive of the laboring classes, being a la
boring man himself, and is just the per
son the farmers, the mechanics, and the
liberal men of all classes want to repre-
sent them in the Ohio State Legislature.
We have not the least doubt of his cleo
ton.
For Probate Judge, l.. G. SwERER, of
New Paris, was proposed, but declined.
There being no other person offered, and
B. F. MORGAN, "stalwart Republican"
proposing to run as an Independent can
didate, the Convention recommended
that he be supported by the party. We
know but little of the history of Mr.. Nor
gan. He wal Superintendent of the Ea-
ton Public Schools for a short time sew
eral years ago, and we believe read law
two years in Indiana, under the instruc-
ton of the late Gov. Morton, and is very
likely qualified for the Probateship. MI.
Morgan claims to have recently "cut
loose" from the Republican party, be-
cause of its Star Route and other public
robberies, so lately brought to light.
For Treasurer, MARTIN SwIsHER was
nominated. Mr.. Swisher would make a
good Treasurer and a man who could
safely be trusted with the keeping ofthe
peoples money. He is well known over
the county as an honest and industrious
farmer. He ought to be elected.
For Clerk, JOHN TOWNSEND, the pres
ent incumbent, has been re-nominated
for a second term of that position, and
we venture the opinion that no one has
ever held that office who adhered with
more care and strictness to the letter of
the law in the discharge of its duties,
than has John Townsend. His habits of
industry, close attention to business, OBJ
liging manners, familiarity with the du-
ties of the office, all combine to caution
the people of Preble county against a
change for his political opponent, who,
there is no doubt, would be as complete
a failure in the place as was Delorama
Morrow.
For Prosecuting Attorney, the nomina-
ton fell upon M. L. HoLr, Esq, there
being no opposition. AS a lawyer his
standing is among the best at the Eaton
bar, and his ability and requirements to
fill the position for which he is nominat-
ed are well established. The Prosecu-
ting Attorney is now by law made the
legal adviser of the County Commission
ers and other county officers, and they
have a right to require of him legal opin-
ions as to matters connected with the
performance of their duties. Mr.. H. is
competent to do this, and to prosecute
and defend all suits of the county. We
regard this office as one of the most i'm
portant to be filled, and should not be
entrusted in the hands of an inexperienc-
ed boy, who has neve yet had a case in
court. Do the Commissioners of our
county want such legal adviserP Sure
ly not.
D. w. HARsHMAN is Jul candidate for
Commissioner. Mr.. H. filed the place
of County Commissioner for three years,
but was defeated last fall for his second
term by a very small majority: With
L
out any intended disparagement to our
long list of retired Commissioners, we be-
lieve it is now nearly unanimously con-
ceded that he made the best official in
that place the county has had. He is a
prudent, careful man, of excellent judg-
ment and great irmness, and with these
qualities is the fright a in the right
place." in the Board of Commissioners,
and while there were others before the
Convention who would make good Com
missioners, we believe we are warranted
in saying that no better selection could
have been made. The Democrats are
honestly and fairly entitled to a repre-
sentative on the Board of Commission
ers, and as they present a man SC. able,
qualified and unobjectionable, we feel
confident the liberal and independent
Republicans will help to put him there
by a good round majority. Ley
For Infirmary Director, GEO. DEEM has
been nominated. The County Farm
needs reformation. We have spoken Of
the way it is being run, in the interest of
a Ring, frequently, and the taxpayers
should not overlook the matter. Mr..
Deem is a first-class man for the place,
and with him on the Board, we feel con-
ident a wholesome change would be
made in the financial government of our
County Poor Farm, and hundreds of dol.
lars saved to the taxpayers.
w. G.. BROWN, of Monroe township,
was nominated for County Surveyor
Mr.. Brown is a young man of excellent
habits and we'll qualified for the place
and as there seems to be considerable
. dissatisfaction with the present incum
, bent, a change would be healthy for al
interested.
Such is the ticket, friends, presented
with entire satisfaction by the Conven
: ton. It is a ticket that no good citizel
: can lave any reason to object to, but o.
4 the other hand one that reflects grea
: credit upon the judgment of the delegate
who selected it, and it is now the dut
of every good Democratic lend every fai
and honorable means to elect it, and wit
o the assistance of the many good and hor
d est Republicans who have promised L
4 help, we believe it will be accomplished
