IFV ooLley. Burtis,
our csedidate for County Treasurer, is in
every way a trustworthy man. He has
been a resident of this county twenty-four
rears, and has acted with the Republi•
can i litirty since 1856, inclusive. He
holds a hialt moral position among his
neighbors. Harrison will give hint 100
- niajority—llcctor, 00 majority—and all
the large towns will sustain him with
full votes and undivided majorities. The
large towns nounnated him, and they will
elect him by a large majoiity over any
opponent they may trot out. Spencer, du
you hear that Y
lit is lot So,
that Woolsey Burtis threatened that if
he was not nominated by the Convention
he would be an independent candidate.
We have talked with F,quire Chesebro
and others who are said to have been
present- at the time the m-hertion is eharg
eCt' ; and they say he made no such as
sertion. He refused to make any per
st,nal pledges, and referred inquires as to
his position, to the delegation front Har
rison, in whose hands he left the whole
matter, with the express understanding,
that he and they were to abide by the
decision of the Convention. The reason
We 'made the inquities in this matter was,
bee,ause a prominent Republican had as
serted it to us, and we believed justice to
all concerned required a frank and expli
cit exposition of the facts, whatever they
inimht be. We believe we have now
Stated them.
Ili. J. Olmsted,
is the best. Prothonotary and Clerk- of
Courts this county has ever lit.d fiom any
party. He is well acquainted with the
defies of the uttie,e, and. is willing to per
in-r.m diem faithfully. His long experi
ence in the (ace bus made him familiar
with all the business transacted in the
Courts for a number of years: No newly
elected man could go into the . affice. and
acquire a knowledge t f its ordinary roil :
tine of business in less than ono year at
least.. The People very wisely expressed
Omit. desire to retain the efficient seririees
of Mr. Olmsted by re•nowinatin_g him iu
, -
the Conventiou—and they will,
.with
equal wisdom, emphatically endorse that
nomination at the polls a week from next
Tuesday. The office is now seeking him
—not he the office. .
