REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

REPUBLICAN, COONII IIChEI.
The county convention, which was
held in Barton last Wednesday, was
one of the most harmonious that we
have seen in twenty years. Not one
in that time has been composed of so
large number of intelligent, inf1u-
ential and honest citizens and dele
gates. Every town had full delega-
ton and large representation 9TH
erwise.
While the friends Of the several
candidates were enthusiastic in their
behalf, there was no seeming unfair
ness or bitterness, and the result,
was, on the whole, very satisfactory
to all.
DR.. Charles L. Erwin, who received
the nomination for senator, resides in
Newport Center, and is a physician
with a large practice, and is man of
business and of general affairs. He is
esteemed for his good sense, his pat
riotic and public spirited qualities and
his honesty. He enlisted in the vol
unteer army when a mere lad, had an
honorable Icareer and returned to
complete his schooling and to enter
upon his profession. He has had eX-
perience in the legislature and is an
ALTAR ound man in the best sense.
z Willard w. Miles, also nominee for
senator, is well-known lawyer. He
is a self-made man. His ambition
has been to become good lawyer,
and he has reached a position and
degree of success that should be graf
flying to himself, as it is to his friends.
He is noted for his honesty and fair
dealing, as much as for his ability.
He has had legislative experiences,
and is thoroughly qualified for the
pos ition offered him.
Judge Rogers holds over, and will
be what he has been heretofore, an
Intelligent, conscientious officer. Hen
ry S. Tolman of Greensboro, selected
as as istant judge, is man of extend
ed business experience, and is we'll
versed in the things of law. He is a
man of upright principles, with a
good head on his shoulders, which is
sustained by spinal column that
lacks neither strength nor rigidity. O.
S. Annis, selected as a candidate for
States Attorney, resides in Troy, and
is 20 ung lawyer of excellent parts.
Brought up under democratic train
ing, nd offered such attention and
empty honors as the party was able
to give him, his inclinations led him
to bee ONE a republican. He is a man
of excellent moral qualities, meth
odical, thorough and keen business
man. In his profession he has grown
steadily Influence and in public es
TEEN. He is respected by all who know
him. Sheriff Miles, renominated. has
held the Office several years, and is
well qualified by experience and
knowledge of law to perform his du
ties well. The bar, the lawyers, feel
that any work put into his hands will
be well done. Mr.. Miles is probably
aware that there are complaints about
him, whether just or otherwise, we
do not know, among good class of
citizens and among temperance men,
in regard to his affiliations with men
of questionable character and of in
temperate habits. These accusations
ought to incline him to such course
as to disarm criticism, whether de-
served or not
Mr.. Alfred, who received the unan
imous nomination for the Office of
Judge of Probate, has, in the few
months the Office has been in his
hands, shown an ability, method and
promptness in his duties that promise
well for the future. So far he has con-
Quoted the affairs of his office to the
acceptance of all.
Mr.. Dewey of Barton and Mr.. Seav-
er, selected to grace the ticket in the
capacity of high bailiff and of county
