PRocEEDiNGs OF THE DISTRICT CONVEX
rIos.-The proceedings Of the Maquoketa Con-
venton will be found IN this day s paper.
1t will be seen that Thomas s. Wilson, OF
this city, was nominated for District Judge, over
William Lefingwell Of Clinton county, who
was a candidate before the Convention. We
recognize in this result, another evidence of that
wholesome rule, which proclaims that the ma
jority shall govern; and while some may be el
evated above others, to public confidence, it is
no reflection upon those who are for the time
defeated; but simply an acknowledgment. that
among men Of the same party and Of like quail
fications, Conventions must and will express
their preferences.
Mr.. Wilson is the democratic candidate for
District Judge. He has been freely chosen by
a Convention of his party. 1t is the duty of the
democracy to elect him. Let that duty BE-
faithfully and efficiently discharged.
