The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-07-04
THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1901.
The REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Inc WOrK OF uQe hepuDllcdu uOLll-
mating Convention, which was held
in Oakland on Tuesday of this week
will be ratified, we have no doubt, at
the polls in November, when the en-
tire ticket will be elected by hand
some majority. 1t is composed of the
very best material obtainable. The
progressive young man and the con-
servative class both find representa-
ton thereon.
Beginning with the Senate, DR..
Ravenscroft, nominated for the third
time, has always looked after the in
terests of his constituents at Annapo-
lis and his nomination is acceptable
to the people of this county as re-
ward for hard and persistent work in
their behalf. He is well known
throughout the State and has been
creditable representative of the peo-
pie of Garrett county.
Messrs. p E. Finzel and Chas. A.
Ashby are both young and progress
i've. Their Republicanism is unques-
toned and the previous experience of
the former in the Legislature will be
of inestimable benefit to both.
Mr.. W. A. Maffett, the nominee for
Sheriff, is another young man of
strict business principles. For
number of years he was public
school teacher within the confines of
our county. Recently he has been
engaged in farming, and although
manned number of years ago in
an accident by which he lost one arm
and a portion of his remaining hand,
he has shown by hard work that he
is fully competent to attend to the
by his election.
For County Treasurer Mr.. James
w. White, of Oakland, who for twelve
years has been the efficient Register
of Wills, received the nomination. If
Mr.. White exhibits the same amount
of zeal in the Office for which he has
Dccll anu W III NlbllOub
doubt be elected, as he has shown in
the office about to be vacated by him,
he will be one of the best public SER
wants the county has ever reposed
trust in. He is thorough account
ant, reliable, trustworthy, and will
command the confidence of the entire
people.
For the office of County Commits
sioner, Messrs. Taylor Friend of Dis
trict No. 2, and Jacob Stump, of Dis
trict No. were nominated. The
Board of Commissioners composed of
these gentlemen, with the present
member, Mr.. Peter j. Stephens, who
holds over, will be probably the best
ever at the head of affairs in Garrett
county. In saying this we do not for
moment desire to cast reflections
upon any other boards. Both gentle
men are sterling citizens and good
business men. Their selection to
manage the financial affairs of the
county could not well be improved
upon, and the confidence reposed in
them by the Republicans in conven-
ton assembled will not be betrayed.
Edwin E. Friend, Esq, of District
No. z, received the nomination for
Register of Wills He has for some
years been engaged at various pur-
suits at Mountain Lake Park, at
present being assistant postmaster.
He will make a splendid officer, and
the training received by him while in
the employ of the Government will
stand him well in hand in conduct
ing his office.
Franklin P. Green, Esq, of District
No. II, who for several years past has
been the efficient surveyor of the
county, was again nominated. His
record as public servant cannot be
excelled. He has been efficient and
painstaking, and will continue to be
so.
The ticket is a strong one and de-
serves the support of every good citi-
zen of the county, irrespective of
party affiliations.
