The County Ticket.

The Republicans of Lamoille coun-
ty have placed in nomination a
strong ticket, one which will not
only command a full party vote, but
the respect of the voters of all par
ties. Milo S. Burnell, who heads the
ticket, was born in Swanton in 1916,
but has resided in Wolcott ever since
1858. He is well known throughout
the county, and the fact that he has
already filed the Office of Sheriff two
terms is evidence of his popularity.
He has represented his town in the
House of Representatives, has been
Lister, Selectman, and served in va
rious other offices. He is well fitted
to represent this county in the Sem
ate and we predict that he will give
a good account of himself in that
body.
The nominee for First Assistant
Judge, Hon. Samuel r. Miller, of
Waterville, is well known, having
served two years as Second Assist
ant. Mr.. Miller is an old trial justice,
and has a good knowledge of the
law and that he will fill the position
of First Assistant with dignity and
ability no one doubts. Forhis asso-
ciate, Henry NJ. Cornell, of Cam
bridge, has been selected. Mr.. Cor
nell is in the prime of life, so years,
and has always resided in his town.
He Is a farmer and is held in high es-
TEEN by all. He too has had expert
ence as a trial Justice. Besides this,
he is frequently called upon to settle
estates and has had a large expert
ence in that direction. A careful,
conservative and prudent man, he
will perform the duties of his office
very satisfactorily.
For Judge of Probate, Hon. E. c.
White, who was appointed by Gov.
Page, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of W. FL. n. Kenfield, is
nominated. During the year or
more in which Judge White has been
in the probate office he has proved
himself the right man in the right
place. We doubt if there could have
been a better selection made. The
people will approve his services by
giving him a handsome vote. 1t is
suggested that in this Office at least
the Democracy could in no better
way show their appreciation of a
faithful official than by endorsing
this nomination. VIII they do it?
For States Attorney, that rising
young lawyer, Lewis C. Moody, of
Stowe. has been selected. Mr.. Moody
is a competent lawyer and his selec-
ton is practically the unanimous
choice of the bar. He will give a
good account of himself.
For Sheriff, Jonas Il. Stevens, of
Eden, is selected. Mr.. Stevens has
already filled this office, having been
elected some ten years ago. That
he faithfully performed his duties at
that time all admit, and no one ques-
tiOns his ability to again do so. The
only objection raised against him
prior to the convention was that he
had once held the Office and that it
should go to a new nan He received
the nomination by a good majority
and his election is certain, as all Re-
publicans will endorse the action of
the convention.
For County Commissioner, Albert
A. Niles, of Morrisyille, is nominated.
II. S. Atkins, who has faithfully dis
charged the duties for several years,
declined a denomination. Mr.. Niles,
besides having a knowledge of the
law, is sound on the temperance
question, will not be "bulldozed"
by anybody, and will perform his
duties without fear or favor.
For High Bailiff, Frank I'll. Ray
more, of Eden, is chosen. He will
keep an eye on the Sheriff and if
called upon to act in an official ca
pacity will do his duty without hest
fancy.
The ticket, from head to foot, is a
strong one. Sterling citizens of the
county have been placed upon it,
