J. W. cRUIKsHANK FOR CLERK SUPREME
COURT.
j. W. Cruikshank, the nominee for
Clerk of the Supreme Court, is mag
nificent specimen of physical manhood,
being over six feet tall and weighing
245 pounds. He is probably the hand
soonest man on the ticket. He is forty
five years of age and has been resi-
dent of Troy, Miami county, for years,
where he has been business man of
standing and reputation. Six years
ago he was elected Clerk of the Com.
mon Pleas court, and has served two
terms. Though the county is oft times
Republican Mr.. Cruickshank's ability
was so well known and he was so gen.
orally popular tina. he was elected by
very large maiorities both times He
writesa q hand that Spencerian sys-
tenn would almost be envious of, and
Major Frank Mckinney is authority
for the statement that he made the
best county clerk In the State, aud the
most efficient and popular clerk Mi
ami county ever had. Lawyers and
others having business in the Supreme
court after. the 1st Of January next
will be happy to meet him there.
HON. JAMES LAWRENCE FOR ATTORNEY
/ Hon. James Lawrence, the young
democratic eagle from Cuyahoga coun-
ty, the nominee for Attorney General,
comes from old Democratic stock, his
father having been member of Con-
gress from the old Guernsey District
before the war. He is now thirty-two
years Of age. He studied law at Cam
bridge, o., with Hon. J. w. White,
and was admitted to the bar in 1874,
when he located in Cleveland and at
one became a leader in Cuyahoga coun.
ty politics, being fondly referred to as
the pride Of the young democracy. As
an attorney he has shown signs of
marked ability, and ranks high at the
Cleveland bar. He had made no can
vass, neither had his friends. When it
seemed that the deadlock between
Dougherty and Irvine could not be
broken happy thought struck the
Cleveland delegates, and his name was
presented as balm that would heal all
wounds and insure Democratic ma
jority of $500 in the old hotbed Of
Republicanism, now redeemed by the
Democracy. Lawrence was nomina-
ted for the Legislature two years ago,
when he was defeated, the Cleveland
ers having the bad taste to send down
the Hodge Billy Bloch delegation in
stead of the honest Democrats pre-
sented. Lawrence is undoubtedly I'M
mensely popular, and will poll big
vote in the Western Reserve
EMIL KIEsEwETTER FOR STATE AUDITOR.
f. Had all the rest of the ticket been
Ebad, the nomination Of Emil Kiese-
wetter, Of Franklin, for Auditor Of
State, would have been bright re-.
deeming spot. Mr.. Keisewetter is
thirty seven years Of age, entered the
union army, and though mere boy,
! was a brave and gallant soldier. As
