OF -PUTNAM:
Tho September CONVENTION, In adopting the
popular vote system for Putnam County. msdsf
tho duty Of tho Central COMMITTEES 20 decide spen
tho time when that volo should bs taken. Az diff.
fsrsncss Of opinion in regard to the proper time,
were found to exist among those known 10 be
sound and ef1oisnt Democrats, the Committee
have endoavored TO gather the sense Of the Dems
osrasy of the County upon the question. One
port held thatthe Spring elections would 'heths
mos. fttime for taking this vote. The other,and
the majority eonsultsd, held that period nearer
to the time Of the fall elections would bs more
safe and servceable to the interest Of the party:
With this last view the Commitiss concur, and
new present the principal reasons which havs de-
termned this eonclusisn: nHs ..A ftit'F
!. That by holding regular election and .
nominating poll at the same time, attention DO,
ing divided between two objects, either Or both
would be in danger Of being neglected, and con.
fusion would be tho conssq renee. % 11'3susi
Q. That it is iiapohtick to intsrmix the lssal
and township matters, decided at the sprsg slse-
tons, with tho state and county questions to 10

B. That the too early nomination Of public SER
wants BY the party would proIoag political sQita.

while it would give our opponent ample time to
foment differences and divisions in our ranks =
an opportunity of which, past experiences proves.

S. That in the counties Of Franklis, Richland
Trumbull, Stark, fairfield and Colsmbiana--,hs
only coua,iss in tho State in which the popular
vote system of Conventions 10 knswn BY tho Con

ease led the Democratic party to adopt the period
Of the Spring elections for taking the vs'e Of the
Democracy on,the fall nominations; and In all Of
these counties their returns exhibit a full attend

These reasons have been deemed su ffisient to
ju stify the Committee in choosing the usal time
for holding conventions as their rule, aud will
