Democratic County Ticket.


The ticket nominated by the Democ-
racy of this county, and which Will be
found at the head of this paper. is good
and stIoug one. 1t is believed by many
that it has been growing in strength
since the day it was nominated, and
markedly so since the Republicans pre-
sented their ticket. The nominees we're
fairly selected, and the candidates are
individually so we'll known to be men OF
character and worth that everyDemocrat
can give them his earnest and sincere
support. Even members of other parties
can conscientiously support them, know
ing that the duties entrusted to them
will be performed with ability, and for
the best interests of the people. Every
indication at this time points to the sue
cess of the whole ticket.
The nominees for the Legislature are
exceptionally good ones. Daniel Nc
Laughlin, Esq, Of Jobnstown, is an
able aud successful lawyer, and while be
has always taken an energetic interest
in the success of the Democratic party
and it's nominees, has never been an Of
fee seeker. The results of his services
for the Democracy will compare favora-
bly, with any other mans in the county.
He is a man of mature judgment, will
carefully weigh and scrutinize all sides
of the many questions brought before
the Legislature, and will then act in
bold and vigorous and able way in main
tanning what he believes to be right
His fitness. his Integrity and his high
moral character is known, and will not
be questioned. He has given the new
constitution special study, aud will be
found at all times and under all circum-
stances insisting upon the proper legisla-
tion being enacted to carry its wise and
benefcent provisions into effect.
John S. Rhey, Esq, of Ebensburg, the
other nominee for the Legislature, has
well known qualities and tastes for leg
islation. He served in the Legislature
from Armstrong county in the sessions
of 1850-'51-'52, with distinguished abil-
ity, and was elected Speaker of the
House in 1852. His admirable 9tness
for the position cannot be questioned,
and Lis nearly forty years OF uninter-
Tupted and valuable services in behalf
of the Democratic party certainly ensi-
tie him to the favorable consideration
of the Democratic voters. For many
years be has been the sole editorial wri-
ter on the Ebensburg FREEMAN, and
his words Of wisdom and counsel have
strengthened the true political faith of
! many, cheered the despOndent, and
made the weak strong. With John ).
Rhey and Daniel Mclaughlin In the
Legislature, Cambria county would
again be at the front, for in knowledge
Uf political history and the wants of the
people, and ability to clearly express
! their views and principles, they would
be second to no others. These gentlemen
deserve to, and will be elected.
The nomination of Mr.. Harry A.
! Shoemaker for ProthOnotary is an en-
dorsement of the way be has conducted
that office for the past term, and an ac-
knowledgment of his ability and worth.
He has been one of the hest and most
accommodating officers Cambria county
has ever had, and has conducted the du-
ties of the Prothonotary's office in such
way as to satisfy the most exacting de-
mands of the people. He deserves the
confidence and support of the people, and
will be elected by large majority.
The nomination of Mr.. CelesUine j.
Blair fol Register and Recorder was
wOrthily bestowed and is a compliment
to the young democracy. Mr.. Blair
comes of stock that have always been
staunch Democrats, and have ever been
found battling in the froEt rank for the
success of Democrats. He is young
man OF ability, careful habits and in
dustri0us, and has considerable expert
ence IN public business. He will make
an efficient, faithful and competent
Register and Recorder, and deserves
and should receive the vote of every
Democrat in the county. He has been
Deputy Sheriff for some time, and the
kindly and gentlemanly way be has
treated those with whom he has had
business in that difficult position has
gained him many warm friends. His
majority will be counted by hundreds.
Harry @. Rose, Esq, the present eff
clent District Attorney, has been renom-
mated. He has conducted the business
of that office for the past three years so
well and carefully that the Democracy
have again entrusted it TO him. He is a
young man of ability and character, and
possesses rare qualifications for the per-
formance of the duties of that office. He
is accommodating and agreeable, and
makes faithful and obliglng official
His majority will be large.
Jacob Shafer, of Allegheny township.
is the nominee for Poor House Director.
we have no acquaintance with Mr.. Sha-
fer, but the fact that he received a
handsome vote at the primary election
at his home and in Ebensburg where
ne is we'll known, is evidence that he
stands we'll with his neighbors and &C
quaintances.
The above is the ticket presented to
the Democracy of Cambria. Each can
dlddte should receive the full party sup
porS. The State and the Nation are now
under Democratic control, and Cambria
should increase its Democratic majority.
Let US begin at once to deserve and
secure victory by presenting a solid
front to the demoralized enemy.-Johns.
