Col. John G. Todd of Bangor, the nomi-
nee for the Office of Sheriff, is citizen Of
whom any locality might well be proud. He
has an enviable and honorable military rec
ord, a portion of which was made in the
secret service of the United States, under an
appointment direct from President Lincoln,
service which qualities him in an eminent
degree to perform much of the duty pertain
ing to the Office of Sheriff. good business
man, in the prime of life, energetic, honor
able and upright, he will, if elected,-and he
will be-make Sheriff that will honor both
himself and his constituents.
COUNTY CLERK.
Mr.. Geo. w. Myers, the nominee for
County Clerk, is at present Postmaster at
its fit him in an eminent degree to perform
the important duties of the Office to which
he will be elected. Mr.. Myers was also a
soldier in the war of the rebellion, and has a
proud record as such. One OF his intimate
friends and comrades in the war, in second
ing his nomination said, "A better soldier
than Mr.. Myers never entered the service"
REGISTER or DEEDS.
Genial Sam Wilson, who was renominated
for the Office of Register of Deeds, is known
to everybody and needs no introduction to
the people of Van Buren, county. A straight,
thorough and honorable business man by
nature and by education, his denomination
fetal who has already done his work prompt
ly, thoroughly and well.
COUNTY TREASURER.
John c. McLain, the present incumbent
of the Treasurership, has performed the du-
ties of the Office for the past two years, in SO
satisfactory manner, that his denomination
was foregone conclusion. To use his own
language, We guess he has not stolen any
money, and what is more we are sure he
never will. Mr.. McLain is also an honor
ably discharged soldier, and carries upon his
person the compliments of the confederacy
in the shape of wound made by rebel
bullet. His triumphant reelection will be
but just recognition of his services as an
upright official and an honest man.
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.
Two years ago when Mr.. A. H. Chandler
was nominated for the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney, there were those who thought his
was a mistake, but the prompt,
fearless and impartial manner in which he
has, during his term of Office, executed the
important trusts imposed upon him, has,
long since, removed all such feeling, as his
unanimous denomination abundantly shows.
An assurance that the duties of the Office
will be attended to with the same thorough
ness for the two years to come, as for the
past term, will insure his reelection by the
votes of satisfied constituency.
CIRCUIT COURT COMMISSIONERS.
Samuel Holmes, the first nominee, is, by
his past experience as County Clerk, as well
as in other business, fully qualified to per-
form the duties OF the Office for which he
has been placed in nomination.
Arthur L. Moulton, the other nominee, is
a rising young lawyer of Decatur, amply
fitted for the position, which he has the abil-
ity and education to fill with credit to him
self and to the people.
COUNTY SURVEYOR.
Albert a. Fosdick of Almena, the nominee
for County Surveyor, is serving his first
term, and has given full and complete salts
faction as such officer. His denomination
was a deserved honor.
coRoNERs.
Jas. IL. Richards of South Haven, and
Henry c. Maynard of Hartford, nominees
for coroner, are either of them qualified to
fulfill the not very arduous but some
times important services of that position,
which are to perform the duties of Sheriff,
in all cases wherein that officer may be, by
reason of personal interest, disqualified to
act.
1t is needless to say that no better set of
men will be presented by any party, for the
of our citizens, and we confidently
expect that the thirty years unbroken line of
republican county officers in Van Buren,
county will be maintained and kept intact,
by the election of this entire ticket.
