THE TICKET.


land county, as most of them have al
ready been under fire and have stood
the test OF the public scrutiny. That our
readers may have the personality of the
ticket clearly in mind, we give a brief
notice Of each.
JUDGE LEROY KELLY
Is native of Fairfield township, where
he resided until his duties as Probate
Judge made him citizen of Hillsboro.
He resided for many years on farm
near New Lexington, and never engaged
in any other occupation nor had any
other interests. The standing of Squire
Kelly in his own township is shown by
the fact that he was elected Justice OF
the Peace from time to time with little
opposition, and at the time of his eleva-
ton to the Probate Court was serving
under his eighth commission from the
Governor of Ohio. The reputation of
Judge Kelly for his Just and righteous
judgments warranted the people in call.
ing him to preside in a higher court.
His management of Probate affairs has
been characterized by an impartiality,
fairness and knowledge of the law which
leaves no room for criticism. In an Office
which offers especial opportunities Tor
the exhibition of meanness of spirit
where it exists, Judge Kelly has admin
istered the affairs of the widow, the or
phan and the distressed in spirit which
has won the confidence of all classes who
have had business with him. The Re-
publicans have given Judge Kelly re-
newed expression of their confidence,
and they believe that he not only justly
deserves another term, but that he is
by tar the best man proposed for the
place. No man in the county can lay
higher claim than Judge Kelly to the
Office of Probate Judge.
SAMUEL N. PATTON,
Who has filled the Office of Recorder for
the last two years so acceptably to all
who have had dealings with bis Office, is
native of the county, having been born
in Paint township. We were not able
to secure his picture for the NEWS HER.
AID, but that will not injure his canvass
for Recorder. That he has made an Off
Ger in every respect worthy the conf
dence of the people, is not to be denied,
and no reason can be given why he

ed bondholder, no member of the silk
stocking brigade. He is one of the peo-
pie, and has no interest but what is in
volved in the peoples prosperity. He
possesses, both personally and by his
officia! record, all the requirements of
an available and successful candidate.
GEO. L. GARRETF,
The nominee for Prosecuting Attorney,
is thirty years of age, and has been for
four years a member of the Hillsboro
bar. He followed the plow upon his
fathers farm until his 10Th year, when
he became teacher, in which capacity
he was employed in different districts of
the county until he had accumulated the
means to enable him to begin the study
of law. He was for two years under the
preceptorship of his brother-in-law at
Morrow, Ohio, and at the end of that
time came to Hillsboro and entered into
partnership with Ex.Gov. Hart. Mr..
Garrett has been connected with
the most important criminal cases
that have come up in this court
within the past four years, and has
acquired an experience and developed
an ability that is highly creditable to u
young man Of his age. Mr.. Garrett's
strength does not lie in bodily pulchri.
tude. His modest appearance bellies the
keenness and penetrating force of his
character. He made the race for Prose
cutting Attorney three years ago, but with
80 much credit that the opportunity for
his own vindication is only his just due.
We confidently predict his election.
EWING NEWLY,
The candidate for Commissioner, is a
substantial resident of Paint township.
He is man of sterling character and
excellent business ability. Besides be-,
ing farmer, he runs a saw,mill and
threshing machine. He is Republican
of the true stamp, and will make strong
candidate not only in his own township,
but throughout the county. He will be
elected. 28
RICHARD CROSEN
Will succeed himself as Infrmary Di-
rector. The improved condition of this
institution under the present manage
ment is recommendation of Mr.. Crosen
which will appeal to all tax. payers who
are interested in an economical admins
tration of the county's institutions. If
