DEAR SIR Yours of the 9th came to hand,
and IN compliance with the request contained
therein, have taken some pains to ascertain the
sentiments OF The democratic party, in this Sec
ton OF The county, on the subject of County
Convention There appears to be more gene
raj disposition to settle the conflicting claims and
merits OF the various asprants for the Legislature
this year, by a Convention, than there was in
eighteen hundred and foriy-six. | am truly
glad to see the party stand up to this good prac-
tice, which would be perpetuated if we only get
up and carry out the system of full and fair con-
ventloEs. Such would secure the election of the
nominees, and secure the union Of the party
Some think that the frs, Monday in May is early
enough for the Convention others prefer the last
Monday IN April; but all say, they are not par
tIcular as to the day, if due notice is gwen tina
all the townships can adopt measures in regard to
1t. We say: consult with our brethren who may
visit your Town and fix on any day, and your pro-
ceedIng will meet our aPproba ton.
l see some of your correspondents have prefer
ed the claims of DIR. Allen for the House. That
is good nomination, he is we'll and favorabiy
known to The democracy the north side Of the
river, aEd more so than any other man who lives
on the south side. He ran well in 1916, that you
can testify to, you and him ran :. neck and neck
throughout the whole county. He is very popu-
lar in this region, and his nomination would tax e
well. .. DARWIN. q.
