Ths State Convention-The Approaching
Election.

APPROACHING
Election.
The approaching election of delegates to the
State Convention, which will take place in a week
from next Tuesday, has not created much hustle or
stir in the communicated has not commanded tho
attention. of even the politicians to any great ex-
tent. II It were election for executive officers,
who had the distribution Of patronage in their
power, no doubt, preparations, on most exte nsive
scale, would have been made long time ago but
as the election Of candidates for the convention
who are to alter, or change, improve or destroy
the fundamental laws of society, does not interest
the community as much as division Of the spolls
does we hear little said, and see less done in pre-
paration for this awful and terrible election-awfu
and terrible as the power OF magnetism We cali
1t an awful election, and terrible election, be-
cause of the effects it may have on society in this
State and In the Union as regards the fundamental
principles OF human progress.
In this days paper, we give the decision OF the
Supreme Court, to the effect that thirteen delegates
only are to be elected in this city. The question
Will soon come up among the various parties and
factions here, relative to the proper selections OF
candidates, and the preliminary movements for the
day of election, which is on Tuesday week next.
How do we stand in this city in regard to the va
iious PuLuce INV III cAlStencc mere, ana the pro-
babe movements and results Of the influences now
At work? We have, in this city, three distinct
and positive parties-the wings, the natives, and
the locofocos. The native party originated from
the abuses and corrupons Of the other two parties,
with regard to certain description Of legislation
the school laws, and the distribution Of offices
In the city; and also on the right of voting by
foreigners. This party, in the recent election for
municipal government, sustained a shocking de
feat to all appearances; but we think they have
exhibited, from their infancy to this period
Of their existence, a distinct power, posi-
tive amount Of votes, which effectualy controls
the decisions of the other two parties This
party started into existence in the fall of the wear
1913. They then numbered a little over eight
thousand votes Amidst all the changes and all the
conflicts that have taken place since that time, they
stand at this moment In the same position, and in
possession of the same amount OF strength, and are
probably more firmly determined IN preserving their
organization than at any other time since their exist
encs. Here is table, showing, at different times,
the full and distinct amount OF their strength with
out reference to any other party =
