The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-09-29
Our Candidates,

Inc county tlcKet placed Ill nomination AT
the Republican convention, held at Lawrence,
is good one, and one which merits and WILL
doubtless, receive the full vote of the Repub-
lican party on the eth of November next
This being so, it goes without saying that
the ticket will be triumphantly elected, and
that another two years will be added to the
more than quarter of century of uninter-
rupted and unbroken line of Republican
officers in this county.
OF the nominee for Sheriff, Mr.. Aaron
Van Aulken, it is needless to speak words of
commentator. He is too well Land too favor
ably known, throughout the entire county, to
need any recommend. His almost unani-
nous denomination TO an Office he has SO
worthily filled for the past two years, is an
emphatic endorsement for him. and shows
very forcibly how he stands, in the estima-
ton of his fellow citizens.
Mr.. Charles +. Heath, the nominee for
County Clerk, to use the language of modern
Democratic platforms, can point with pride"
to the fact that every ballot cast for that
office, was cast in his favor. His official
record, for the past two years, proves him to
be the right man, in the right place, and his
constituents did well, to place him in nomi-
nation for q second term.
John G. McLain, the nominee for County
Treasurer, is farmer who has filled the
Office of Supervisor from his township &C
ceptably and well. He is favorably known
throughout the county, has an excellent rec
ord as a soldier in the late war, and bears
upon his person the scars of honorable
wounds received in his country's service.
He will make a good officer
Samuel u. Wilson, the nominee for Register
of Deeds, has for long series of years been
the Supervisor of his township, and as Chair
man of the Board of Supervisors has proved
himself TO be a number one man. Every
body knows Sam, and everybody likes him.
He is a good penman, an excellent business
man and will keep the records of the office
to which he is to be elected, neatly and &C
curately.
The nominee for Prosecuting Attorney
Alonzo II. Chandler, is lawyer who has had
seventeen years practice, and who, like the
candidate for Treasurer, has the satisfaction
of being able TO say that he served his
country well, in the time of her greatest
need. He is entirely capable of attending to
the criminal business of the county.
For Circuit Court Commissioners, John j.
Sherman and James II. Johnson, were judici-
Gus selections. Mr.. Sherman has filled that
office acceptably for long series of years
and has had large experience in its duties
He too was soldier. and prisoner in An
Jacksonville. where he came as near being
starved to death, at the hands of our "erring
southern brethren" as man could and live
Mr.. Johnson has served one term as Com
missioner, and demonstrated his entire fitness
for the position.
We are not personally acquainted with the
nominee for County Surveyor, Albert A Fos-
dick, but those who know him speak very
highly of him, both as to his character and
his ability to attend to the duties of the posi-
ton to which he has been nominated.
The duties of the Office of Coroner are not
very burdensome, and there is no doubt but
such well known physicians. as DR.. A. S.
Haskin and Dr. ii. NJ. Brodrick, will be able
to perform those duties with credit to them
selves and TO the public
Geographically, the ticket. is well dis
tributed, and in that regard is calculated to
draw out the full party strength. The Sheriff
is Paw Paw man, the Clerk from Bangor
the Treasurer from Porter, the Register and
Commissioner johnson from South Haven,
the Prosecutor from Hartford, Commissioner
Sherman, although at present a resident of
Paw Paw is really Decatur man, the Sur
veyor resides in Almena, and the Coroners
are respectively residents of Lawrence and
Decatur.
We predict that the canvass of the votes
polled at the next election will fully demon
strate the wisdom of the convention, which
placed these men in nomination for the
offices, for which they solicit the suffrages
of their fellow citizens.
Our Legislative candidates are equally as
well fitted to perform the duties of their re-
spective offices, as are any of the county
nominees. Charles j. Monroe. the nominee
for State Senator, has grown up in our midst
from his childhood, and is known and recog-
nized az one of the most able and thorough
business men of our county. He will poll
an exceptionally large vote in the district.
II. l.. Warren, of Decatur, possesses the
requisite ability to perform the duties of the
Office of Representative, and as we have here
tofore intimated, WILL no doubt, fill such Office
to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
Both he and Mr.. Monroe, are sound on the
question of submitting the prohibition
amendment to a vote of the people, and both
are favorable to the reelection of Hon. L. w.
Ferry TO the United States senate.
