The Democrats of Henry Co. may well feel
proud Of their convention held last Saturday.
There is no doubt that previous to the gather
ing some little misgiving prevailed in some
minds as to the ultimate outcome Of its de-
liberstions, but the result shows that there
existed no cause for alarm. The ticket nomi-
mated combines all the elements of strength,
and would be hard to be improved upon.
True, those who were not chosen are equally
honorable gentlemen who would have been
strong before the people, but in the very ma
ture Of the situation all could not be favored.
One thing all will concede, everything was
done on broadguage plan, the party's well
fare was kept constantly in view, in fact the
delegates almost to man acted with patri-
otic and lofty purpose.
D. d. Donovan, the nominee for Repre-
sentative, who was renominsted by acclama-
ton, is an honored citizen of Bartlow town
ship, residing in Deshler. He has served his
constituents and his party we'll and truly dur
ing the past two years, and there was not
dissenting voice against his denomination.
Mr.. D. is young man of much promise,
with excellent habits, thorough Democrat
and useful citizen.
The nomination off. @. Groll for Treasurer
is worthy selection. He is honest, capable
and trustworthy, and comes from good
Democratic township that has never had a
county office-Fla' rock. Mr.. Groll is an old
citizen of the county, having been resident
within its borders for near half a century,
and is considered one of the many successful
farmers of the county. His sterling quail
ties has brought to him large circle of
friends AMI a competence which will enable
him to live with ease in his declining years.
Mr.. Groll is an old soldier, being member
OF the 107 Ohio regiment in the recent re-
bellion, and was one among those who fought
the Louisiana Tigers at Gettysburg He will
make good treasurer.
Among half dozen candidates Mr.. ]. W.
Hama, of Damascus township, was chosen
as candidate for Recorder. He is eminetly
well qualified for the position, writing good
legible hand and being genial gentleman,
and possessed of all the other qualities of a
popular recorder. His record as a citizen
and Democrat is good, and his selection
adds greatly to the strength of the ticket
"Jam" will get there by one of the largest
majorities ever given to candidate in this
county.
W. N. Zierolf, of Marion township, wht
was the unanimous choice of the convention
for commissioner, has been an Efficient officia
for the past three years, we'll worthy of sec
ond consideration. Able and intelligent, hi
official life has been clear and honorable; al
ways aiming to do right and never forgetfu
: of the interests of.the people. These ar
among the reasons why he has been success
full. His experience and attainments SHOULD
: be carefully considered by every voter. Hi
judgment is not infallible but will re
quire harsh critic to find fault with his hon
esty of purpose. He will receive not only tht
earnest undivided support of his party bu
. will be aided by large number of libera
and independent citizens who know how un
selfishly he has discharged all his duties ani
. how attentive he is at all times to the welfare
of the entire county.
The denominations of Mr.. G. N. Schwat
for surveyor, Peter Schall for infrmary direc
tor, and Conrod Bitter for coroner, are al
good and proper ones. Each have made goot
officials and are entitled to second term
All their majorites will range high, as vii
that of every man upon the ticket, which ii
one of the best tickets ever put before the peo
pie in Henry county.
