time interested in the canning bust

Clerk in the Office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court for Hartford county He
has pleasant, courteous manners, and
is in every respect fitted for the posi-
ton for which he has been nominated.
He is active, intelligent and energetic
and we have no doubt will make a
useful member of the House.
The candidates nominated for Coun-
ty Commissioners are Edward G..
Hooker, George A. Courtney and Will
liam A. Hope, all well-known citizens.
Mr. Hooker was elected County
Commissioner in 1885, 1887 and 1889,
and served the people of the county
faithfully. His popularity was shown
by the handsome vote he received at
the election ON Saturday. He is by
occupation miller. He is SO years
old. ..fs .- : -r-...
Mr.. Courtney is a farmer of Bush
River Neck, and is So years of age.
He is a member of the present board
of County Commissioners, having
been elected in 1891. He has discharg-
ed his duties in that office with fidelity
and care and his experience will be of
value to him if elected again. He is
popular among his neighbors and un-
der the new order of things will make
a trustworthy official. ..,..r...s.
William A. Hope is now serving his
fifth term as County Commissioner,
having been first elected in 1854
fact which attests his popularity. He
is man of few words but his yea is
yea and his nay nay. He has always
been ready to respond to the wishes
of his constituents and has manifested
much zeal in the improvement of pub
lie roads in his district. He is about
"a years of age.
The law reducing the number of
County Commissioners from five to
three and making them ineligible for
reelection will go into operation this
fall. One of those elected will serve
two years. one four years and one six
years. The terms of each will be de-
ciled by the Governor, by lot.
The candidate fore unity Surveyor,
William 7. Clark, was apparently too
modest to have his name announced
for the office-the perquisites of which
are trifling-and his nomination, I'M
solicited, is a tribute of respect to an
excellent man and a good Democrat.
Our advice to every Democrat is,
vote the whole ticket.
