The Republican County Ticket.

The Republican County Convention
held at Ellsworth, on Monday last,
passed off with great harmony and
good feeling, and with a fairness
which should inspire the party as a
whole and individually, to put forth
every honorable effort to gain the
victory that is due to the ticket NOM
mated. The defeated candidates took
their defeat philOsophically, and gave
evidence, both by word and action,
that they should indulge in no boy play
but like true Republicans help the tick
ct on to success by all means in their
power.
j. A. Murphy, of Ell Paso, who
received the nomination for Assembly
man, is a young man of fine educa-
tion, excellent abilities, good speak
er, and will il elected represent his
district in the legislature with credit.
Mr.. Murphy has already given EVIL
dence of possessing that ability and
acumen which will make him force
in the intricate windings of statecraft
when experience and opportunity
shall have armed him with the stron-
ger implement of political labor, and
it becomes all voters to encourage
young men of this character for it is
of such material that statesmen are
made.
Byron Corcoran, of Oak Grove, the
nominee for Sheriff, is an Irish far
mer and teacher, a man of excellent
character, mdOubted courage, calm
judgement, with large share of that
peculiar quickness of perception pc
culiar to his nationality. His up
right life and faithfulness in all bust
ness transactions, are ample security
that as sheriff of the county he will
be an unfinching guardian of the in
terests of all the people so far as such
interests depend on that officer.
l. c ituOiuiudLlOn VI u. ID JChoOlii
of Gilman, to the Office of County
Clerk, by reclamation, was the result
of his faithful and able service lin
that Office in the past.
The denomination Of j. S. Rounce,
of Trimbelle, for Treasurer is but the
voice of the people in favor of tried
and true officer, whose capabilities
need no praise from us.
Fred. Lord, of River Falls, who is
our candidate for Register of Deeds
will have the solid support of his party
at home and probably outrun his tick
ct here, on account of the favor in
which he stands with all who know
him. He is young man of excellent
character, fine business ability, thor.
ough, diligent, and reliable, wei
worthy of the office and of public con
fidence. He is just the kind of q
young man to be schooled in the per
formances of public duty, as a safe
guard Tor the future.
Ambrose Cook, Esq, of Maiden
Rock, who received the nomination
for District Attorney, is an unswerv
ing Republican, true citizen, good
lawyer, reliable in his professional
transactions. enjoys the esteem of hi
professional brethren, the confidence
of his acquaintances, and will make
safe and earnest advocate for the state
lie should receive the full vote of hi
party and be elected to the Office TO
which he is nominated.
J. C. Gilberts0n, of Hartland, is tn,
happy choice of the convention fol
the office of Clerk of the Court. He ii
scholarly and capable, possesses ex
eellent clerical ability, and will fl
the office with grace and with ful
satisfaction to those most concerned.
The wisdom of the convention wa
no more fully exhibited, perhaps, thar
in the selection of Mr.. G. l.. Bowman
of Prescott, for the Office of Superin
tendent of Schools. He is one of tn
ablest educators in the county, having
served in all grades as teacher, fror
the lowest to the highest, next to til
Normal; is fully ripe both in learnin
and experience, is well known for hi
educational requirements, and know
most thoroughly the needs of the pub
lie schools. Such qualifications as b
