TIE COUNTY TICKET.

The Democratic liChot - "Ihuol'
The delegates to the county conVen-
ton have done their duty and done ii
well. They have named a ticket in
every way beyond reproach, ticket
which must command the respect OF not
only every member Of the Democratic
party but of the opposition. There is
not one word that can be said in dis
uaragement Of any man upon the ticket
and the candidates named yesterday
will poll not onlgthe full party vote,
but should, and no doubt will, be pref
cradle in the estimation OF very many
voters without the party to candidates
on other tickets.
Judge JORDAN, who beads the county
ticket, has made a record in the year and
half that he has been upon the bench
Of which any man might we'll be proud.

bv the bar, but by the people in every
walk Of life, and there has probably
never been better or a more desery-

should receive the united support OF all
those who desire to see the laws Impair
italy enforced aud justice done to all.
