Intelligent, .affabIe, compan.

men. Intelligent, atfable, compan-
ionable, discreet-traits which will
make them influential at Annapolis.
Mr.. Combs is one of the leading law
vers of the Oakland bar, a good
speaker, ready in debate, and especi
ally well qualified TO secure needed
amendments to our local code. Dr.
Speicher is a regular physician, with
a good practice in Grantsville and
vicinity, and is generally known
throughout the county. He is
young man of good habits, and will
be a safe man to assist in shaping our
laws.
Our candidates for County Commits
sioners are all intelligent and sue
cessful farmers, all heavy tax payers,
and so located as to be able to give
attention to all sections of the county.
Mr.. George e. Bishoff resides in Sang
Run district, and is well acquainted
with the needs of Districts Nos. 2 and
5. Mr.. Norman Jacobs resides in No.
IL, and would equally represent Nos.
3, and 8, and Mr.. Daniel Wilson
resides in No. 10, and his nominal
ton was urged and he will be entire
ly acceptable to the voters of Nos. 1,
7 and s. They are all men of charac-
ter and unquestioned integrity, and
each one being personally laseel
terested in the material p osperity of
this county, will have a double mo-
tive for continuing the economical
policy of the Republican Board of
County Commissioners. They are
honest and capable, and fully entitled
to the undivided support of the Re-
publican party, and We belieYe they
will get it.
Our ticket for Orphans Court de-
serves the cheerful and hearty en-
dorsement of the people of the coun-
ty. We find heading this ticket Rev.
d. H. Friend, of No. 6, than whom
no better man for the position could
be found in the county. He has had
an experience of several years on the
bench, and was an acceptable officer.
He will be ably assisted by Mr.. Ma
than Casteel, fNo. 7, and Mr.. David
Michaels of No. 4. These gentleman
are all successful farmers, and are
largely interested in the material
prosperity of the county.
For States Attorney we have Mr..
W, P. ToWnshend, young man of
decided ability, and a promising
young lawyer. He is a son of S. l..
Townshend, president of the present
Board of County Commissioners. He
studied law with Col. J. w. Veitch,
and has been associated with him in
the practice of his profession for sew
eral years, where he has become per-
fectly familiar with the duties of the
office of States Attorney.
For Sheriff we have Mr.. David
burst, Of Grantsvile, a shoemaker
by trade, and very intelligent gen.
tleman. and one who will--f4 VII,
credit the Office to which he aspires.
Mr.. burst is very popular in the
northern end Of the county where he
is well known, which speaks well for
any young man. We personally
know him to be man of more than
ordinary business qualifications.
For Surveyor we have Mr.. Daniel
Chisholm of Oakland, He is doing
large business here as a druggist, but
his business is too combining and he
desires out door work. He is we'll
qualified, having served a term as
surveyor of Allegany county.
We have in the above but hastily
referred to the candidates, the most
of whom are well known throughout
the county. The ticket should re-
ceive the full support of the party in
November, and if it does every man
will be elected, because we have a
majority in the county on a full vote.
Let us al go to work and elect our
whole ticket.
