Pg 2 Col 2: Our New Judges - The General Assembly have just concluded
an election for sundry Associate Judges and Militia Generals. . .
.among others, two association judges for our counties in place of
Judges McCRACKEN and COX. The vote stood Jonathan Y. SACKETT - 59;
George SKINNER - 59; Isaac McCRACKE - 31; Samuel RAMSAY - 31. The
above is part of a private letter from Columbus. The Ohio Statesman
has the name of Samuel ROCKHILL in place of Samuel RAMSAY as voted
for by the Democrats. Both Gentlemen are good citizens and would have
done credit to the bench . . . .So Jonathan Y. SACKETT after having
again and again tried to get in office from the people is at last
foisted upon the bench. . . .(claims COX resigned two years early to
ensure SACKETT was elected).
