THE COMING ELECTION. Every candidate ou the Republican ticket should be elected, the selections are especially good, tli» men have mostly boon tried and have been found to be true. ASSSEMBLY. RENSSELAER WAKD Although not asking nor expecting the high honor of being nominated to represent the people in this 2nd assembly district, is a man of superior qualifications for this position of trust. He has for many years served the people of this town in official capacities, and if elected we know ho would make a most efficient member. His own party to a man, as well as a host of Democratic friends should come forward ami give Mr. "»\ ai d a hearty support. The report was that Mr. Ward would not accept tho nomination, but the following letter to tho Chairman of tho District Committeo Will set that feeling at rest: Ranboxviluc, (Jet. 20th, 1883. Mit. 11. Sankord. Chuit man of 2nd slsswnbly IMst of Amy. Co.

Faithfully Yours, (signed) K. WAjtD. AI-VAti K. POTTER Who has been nomiuated for County Judge is an eminent lawyer of Lockport, with a large practice and experience which ably qualify him for tho office. Ho should be elected by a large majority for more reasons than one. Tie irregularity of Governor Cleveland's appointment iu placing a Demociut in t, is office to All tho vacancy caused by i '.i i resignation of a Republican Judge— not O'lly called for sevore censure from tho repu ! t'-'i n ; arty, but caused many remarks from goo1. iJemocrats for his unfairness iu this matter. WILLIAM J BULGER Has received the nomination for Surrogate. He is a young man of sterling metal, oxemplary in all his habits. Amongst his associates lie is km wn as an honest, upright young lawer, well fitted to till this office of trust. Our Democratic friends will do well by gtv ing him a hearty support. JOHN A M2HRITT The present, incumbent as County Clerk, has again b<on tendered the office. He is ell aud favorably known throughout the con ty. He has filled the office satisfactorily t ■ ever one, and it will doubtless bo the desire of both parties to continue him another term. K. M. ASHLEY For District Attorney, is a mime which adds much strength to the Republican ticketj and will draw many voters from tb» opposite party. ALOKZO 11. LEWIS 'las lIIU'I' a saving to the county of several hund.ed ollars in liis official duties as Superintend.' tof tho poor. He has been one of the best Mid most efficient Superintendents we have ever had, and should be retain, eu in In pieseut position that he may make further savings in our tax assessments. GORDON ROWE For Justice of sessions should and will receive tho hearty support of every Republican votor, and many Democratic friends. V. J. RAKER Has tho nomination for Coroner. He is wellknown in this vicinity as an upritht Chris tia gentleman. Having resided in Youngstown several year', ha made a great many warm friends in both parties.

E. chorch when said church, which has boen repaired to tbe amount of $1,800, was rededicated. Hervices opened at 11 A.M. by Kev. A. D. Wilbur, D.

Oyiter Fete at Porter Centre, j On Friday evening last there assembled ! in Porter Centre church a vjrv social and vivacious company of young people, from , Hanaomville, 1> oung«town ami the surrounding couutry, the occasion being au oyster f»a*t, held under the auspices of the young er members of the society of the aforesaid ctiurch. Considering that the weather dur ing 'he previous twelve hours had been raw, cold and rainy, aud that tiie night was exceedingly dark, the attendance «us very large, and financially the committee did even better th in they anticipated under favorable weather, & tho net receipt! being about {97. For the small sum of 35 cents each, the company were served iu a most gracious manner with quantum fufflrit of oysters, be side* various kinds of cake, &c., and, judg iug from the ravenous manner in which i they indulged, we should say everything i was relished. The table was set threo tunes j and at each was entirely surrounded. Socially, Kansouiville and Porter Centre young peo; le cannot be excelled in western New York. They seem to know just how | to spend the time pleasautly aud profitably. \ White the company were waiting for sup j per the Missoa Mary L. Van Duseu, Cairit-, ltausom, Mary (Irace White and Marion A. i Graves, assisted by the Kev. C. A. Wood j worth and others, fuvored them with sever al selections of music, which were heartilj applauded. Tli so young ladles all have line voices. Afterward Miss Graves sang two very beautiful solos. At midnight the party wended their ways ! to their several homes, perhaps thinking— As onward we journey, bow pleusaut To pause and to ponder uwhila Those few sunny times, like the present, That amijst the dullest life smile I But Time, like a pitiless master.

Next Tuesday is election day, and a large vote should be polled iu the towu of Porter; it should be made to reach 500, the number requisite for dividing tho town into two election districts. There is no doubt of there being that munv voters in tho town, for a osreful canvas of school district No. 1 shows nearly 150, and this district is estimated to contain a little over one fourth of tho population of the town. The advantages of having two election districts have beon ! stated through tho c lumns of tbe Nkws on j several previous occasions, and there is no need of further ellucidation oil that point See to it that a large vote is polled. We believe it to be the sacred duty of every citizen to vote; it is a duty not only to himself, but to his country, his state, his county, his town. No man lias a right to shirk that duty. Vote, however you wish—but voto. PEKIN Mr. W. Kogera lias returned from the West. Mr. Amos Pyle, who recently removed to Michigan, is here on a visit.
