OUR TICKET.

Of the nominees il is not necessary
TO speak at length at this time, pre-.
ferring TO put that off till the campaign
is more advanced. A word, however,
now will be amiss. We take the fol.
lowing brief note Of part of Capt.
Haight's military record from Bates
History Of Pa. Volunteers:
JOHN j. HAIGHT, Co. b., 111th
Regt., Pa, Vols. Mustered into the
U. S. service Nov. 8, 1861. Promoted
to 1st Sergt.; promoted to ID Lieut.,
Jan. 10, 1858; promoted to 1st Lieut.,
Feb. 10, 1858; promoted to Captain,
June "a, 1866. Wounded at battle of
Wawhatchie, Tenn, Oct. 20, 1868 !;
again wounded at battle of Griers'
Farm, Ga, June 81, 1864. Mustered
out with his Co. June 10, 1865.
The history of the famous 111th
Regiment, Of which the lamented Geo.
A. Gotham was Colonel, and with
which Capt. Haight served aud par.
ticipated in its numerous battles and
engagements during the whole war, is
well known. His record shows him to
have been with his regiment in the
battles of Cedar Mountain, second
Bull Run, Charlottesville, Gettys.
burg, and various other battles of the
army of the Potomac. Wawhatchee,
Dallas and Resaca, Lookout Mountain,
aud various skirmishes and engage.
ments during the Georgia campaign
When the Captain enlisted he was
engaged in drilling well near East
Hickory. Since his return from the
army he has been engaged 10 the oil
business, mostly in Forest county, the
past ten years of which has been spent
at Cooper Tract, where he was the
pioneer operator, aud has since put
down over one hundred wells in that
district. He has good farm there,
cleared by himself, and expects to
harvest twenty-five tons Of hay this
season. Fact lie, Capt. Haigbt, like
Harrison, is all right.
Quintain Jameson, the successful
candidate for Treasurer, is a Forest
county boy born and bred. A modest,
quiet and uuassumiug gentleman, who
enjoys the confidence and esteem of
his Deighbors in high degree. His
farm is located on the Allegheny river,
at Jameson station, and he keeps it in
an excellent state of cultivation by
his industry, hard work, and close at.
tentiun to business. Mr.. Jamieson's s
record as a man aud citizen is credit
to him and will bear close scrutiny.
Mr.. j. F, Proper, candidate for
County Surveyor, is well qualified for
the place, beiug first class surveyor
We don't know that Floyd cared par
ticularly for the honor, as the office is
a thankless one, without much if any
remuneration, but being of patriotic
turn, he will have to sacrifice himself
for the good of his party, and take q
reelection, spite of himself.
The defeat of DR.. fowler is IN.
doubiedly a disappointment to his
friends, who had hoped to see him
nominated for q second term, believing
his record as a legislator to have been
such as to merit that compliment.
While the fates decreed against him,
we believe he has no foe bitter enough
to say that it was on account of any
flaw 10 his record as a member of the
Assembly, and he has the proud dis.
tiuction of knowing that never was
his vote or Influence cast on the wrong
side, but on the other hand he aided
in many ways to secure legislation
highly beneficial to the laboring classes
and the taxpayers. The Doctors rec.
ord is clean and unsullied, and he
comes out of the campaign, as does
his successful opponent-houorably.
The friends of Mr.. Doutt feel
equally disappointed at his defeat
Such is the fate of politics. With two
candidates running for the anne office
one must inevitably lose. Had he
won, his opponent, Mr.. Jameson,
would have been obliged to have &C.
cePted the result cheerfully as we
believe Mr.. Doutt does.
Harrah for the whole ticket, from
top to bottom!
