ana now That the various citizens
who have consented to assume th,
trouble, care and expense, that fall
upon candidates, at the solicitation O
the party, it is but fair that they re
ceive a cordial and enthusiastic sup
port from the members Of the part,
throughout the county. The ticket
ought TO be successful; it ought tC
have majority of one hundred, and
in our opinion, it will be successful il
Democrats will only do their duty and
see that their names are registered
and then turn out and help it with
their votes and influence.
James f. Denton, the candidate fol
Sheriff, is well and favorably known
to the citizens of the county, and
those who know him believe that he
will make good, reliable and eff
cient Sheriff. Two years ago, when
the Democratic party was divided and
split into factions, Mr.. Denton was
the Democratic nominee for Sheriff,
and although Garfield received a ma
jority of 1877 in the county, Mr.. Den
toms opponent only received 56, which
shows how he ran ahead of his ticket.
Michael O'Brien was elected County
Clerk two years ago by majority of
1.-THE Republican majority being
1877, which speaks greatly for Mr..
OBrien's popularity. He has now
served as County Clerk two years, and
has proved Il capable, efficient and
trustworthy public servant. During
these two years Mr.. O'Brien has made
many friends and has, we believe, in
creased very much his popular
strength.
The nominee for County Treasurer,
II. r. Morse, is one of the leading cit
liens Of the place. There are but few
people in the county but what know
him, and they know he will make
faithful and reliable treasurer of the
county. Mr.. Morse is one of the
early settlers of this county, has been
engaged in the lumber business for
many years, has helped as much as
any man to build roads, erect school
houses, improve property in the city
and county, is a large taxpayer, a
shrewd business man, always in favor
of public improvements that tend
to the best interests of the county,
and is justly entitled to the votes of
his fellow-citizens.
A. r. Mcdonald, the candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney, has, in the
past, filled that office for two years,
and made one Of the best Prosecuting
Attorneys Alpena ever had. That he
will discharge the duties Of the office,
if elected, the coming two years, for
the best interests of the people, no
one who knows him has any doubt.
Chas. D'Aigle was the choice of
the convention for the office Of Cir
cult Court Commissioner, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that he
will render an account of his steward
ship, if elected, that will meet the APP
prevail of the people. Last spring
Mr.. D'Aigle was elected Justice of the
Peace in the city, receiving a MAORI
ty Of AZ, and has now served the peo-
pie nearly one year as Justice, and he
is entitled to the warm support of the
opposers of Republicanism.
DIR. Wilkinson and j. G. Chisholm
are the nominees for coroners, and
are worthy of support.
The various candidates, in addition
to the support of Democrats, should
receive the cordial support of the Ma
tionals. They took part in the eau
cuses, and had representatives in the
county convention, which nominated
the county ticket, and which can be
elected if it receive the support that
honestly and fairly belongs to it.
The candidates are all in harmony
with each other; they are acceptable
to the citizens; they will make good
county officers, and they should be
and we believe they will
be. Let those the candidates repre-
sent make up their minds to give the
.
