Mr.. Charles Green, the nominee for
sheriff, has acceptably performed the
duties of his office in the past and
viii again. lie is a man fully quail
he'd in every respect for the position
of Sheriff. The duties of High Bal
lift are important, (if called upon to
perform theml consequently the
convention did wisely in select ing a
good man in view of any possible
contingency in the person of Mr..
John Pratt of West Concord As
County Commissioner Mr.. &. w.
Humphrey of East Haven will prove
himself capable and thorough in the
performance of his duties. On the
whole the Republicans are to be
congratulated IN the selection they
have made of county officers. Let

bigger majority than is usual in
an "off year" in Essex County, re-
membering that there should be no
"off years" in politics.
