Our County Ticket

County at the convention last
week will command the unquah-
fed support of every republican
voter in the county. The nomi-
nees are men of excellent qualities
and the interests of the people
are absolutely safe in their hands.
All but two were nominated by
reclamation, and only one ballot
was necessary to determine the
selection for second assistant
Judge and states attorney. Mr..
f. NJ. Bartlett, the nominee for
senator, needs no words of ours
to commend him to the iavora-
BILE consideration of the voters.
He is a man we'll fitted by educa-
ton and otherwise to meet all
the requirements of this import
ant office. He has had some leg
islative experience having most
creditably represented the town
of Brighton i'll the House in
1894. Heis apublic spirited and
enterprising citizen, and stands
for what is best in the community
and he will devote his time to
serving the best interests of the
entire county. His nomination
is calling forth pleasant express
sions of approval throughout
the county. The custom OF re-
tanning one assistant judge was
continued, and Judge Nelson of
Norton was retained, promoted
to the position of first assistant
Judge, a fitting endorsement of
his work in the past, and the
selection of Arthur I. Holbrook
of Lexington as second assistant
Judge pleases his friends every
where. They will exercise great
care in the matter of county
finances. For Judge of Probate
Hon. Robert Chase was unani-
mously nominated to succeed
himself. The people ofthe county
appreciate fully that he is one OF
the best incumbents of this office
that the county has ever had, and
the records were never in better
shape than now. He has every
necessary qualification for the
position, and his denomination
commands very general respect
and approval. Mr.. Lund o.
Canaan is well equipped for thu
office of States Attorney, having
previously served four years il
this capacity. We therefore con
fdently expect that the laws
will be faithfully, energeticall,
and consistently executed, hi
speech before the convention in
dicating just this. For six year
past O. D. Cobleigh of West Con
cord has held the office of sheriff
proving himself a capable an,
efficient officer, none better, per
forming the duties to the entir
satisfaction of all who had to d,
with him. His unanimous re
nomination is a just recognition
that in the past he has fully me
the requirements of the office an,
a belief by the people that h
will continue to efficiently dis
charge the duties pertainin,
thereto. Although the office c
high bailiff is regarded as CON
paratively an unimportant one
it is we'll to select a good man i
view Of any possible contir
gency, which the convention di
when it unanimously placed
nomination for this office S.
Hudson of East Haven. Charlie
w. Matthews, the present count
commissioner, was also III
,animously nominated, havin
shown himself capable an
thorough in the performance {
his duties. The interest and fee
ing of all parts of the count
were fully represented at the col
vention, and its action is we
calculated to produce harmon
and the best of feeling through
out the county.
