The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-08-30

no bribery or cut-throat business was re-
sorted to by Mr.. Musselman or his
friends to secure the nomination. He is
far above such knavery, and the honest
and independent voters of Preble county
owe it to themselves to put a quietus up
on all corruption and skullduggery for
nomination in the future, by electing
Mr.. Musselman. If they do not, we are
sadly mistaken in party honesty of the
majority.
No nomination was made for Recorder.
No candidate was offered, and it was
unanimously decided that JACK AMMER-
MAN was the fright man in the right
place." and should continue another
term without running the political quaint
let.
For County Commissioner, HARVEY
PADDOCK, of Jackson Township, was
nominated. Mr.. Paddock is self-made,
and a man well qualified for the impor-
tant duties of that Office. An honorable,
upright man in every respect, his name
is the synonym for honesty and the
strictest integrity, and if elected he will
make it a matter of conscientious duty
to fulfill the obligations of the office
faithfully and well. The Democrats are
fairly and honestly entitled to a repre-
sentative on the Board of County Com
~missioners, and we believe the independ-
ent voters of PEBBLE county will so decide
at the ballot box in October, by electing
Mr.. Paddock.
For Inirmary Director, PETER j. OzIAs
was nominated, and is well known as an
upright and straightforward man of ex-
%cellent judgment and good business quail
ifications. Successful in running his own
farm interests, he is just the man to have
al eye on the County Poor lands. Here,
too, the Democrats are justly entitled to
representation, and Peter Ozias is the
man for the place.
OF course where there was competi-
ton, as for two or three of the offices, all
could not be successful. Some good men
had to be disappointed. This is the in
evitable result of political contests. But
where everything is done fair and hon
orable, as was in this Convention, the
result should be, and we are glad to say
is, heartily accepted and cheerfully &C
quiesced in. We believe the ticket will
be elected. Now go to work for it.

The ticket gives splendid satisfaction.

first heat.

Mr.. Sheppard was thar or, "thara-
bouts" He shifts it in the breeze!

If there are any G. A. RS on the tick
