IL Is from mere political eTpeditncy that th,
Democratic party nave brought out so respee
able candidate as Mr.. B,rney. Il is nov
known that the Democratic Central Committee.
At lhe time. came very near nominating a can.
didale totally unfit foI the place. without at all
calling Convention. The Democratic party
have no, exhibited very great consistency in
the nomination Of Mr.. Barney. Their press
have denounced the Dayton Association, and
all that participated in recommending Mr. An.
dreWs. ia most unmrasuredierms. representing
them rs a set Of demagogues, and now them
selves have nominated one Of those drmago.
CUES. For Mr.. Barney was at the D,ylon
Convention. and there expressed himself deci.
dedly for Mr. Andrews. II declared himself
willing TO offer he resulh I'm Ia favor Of Mr..
Andrews. bu preferred to not take so promi.
nrnt part, as he Thought he could thtrrby
do more for Mr. Andrews with Democrats,
and said that he thought Hamilton county
could be carried Tor Mr. Andrews After t4.
king this part in bringing our Mr. AID rws as
u caudi late, i Is not cry honorable 10 Mr.
Barney TO consent 10 run pS his opponent
From he considerations We have numed n.
bovr. i must appear to JUDGED minds,
that Mr.. Anhrw posSrsscs superior quaii6
cations over Mr. Bnnry for The plarr, unless
being Democrats huokc poitcian, and be-.
ing defeated several I'M, in running for office

here any NOR prophecy in making such test
in lhe election of u school officer for the State.
more han fera single disricl? Certainly not.
And rs such an at,mp' is row made TO intro
luce party politics into onr schools the people
should, by their votes show their dsapproha-
ion of The mOvcm' Mt and vote for he cand-
date of the people, instead nf rhe candidate of
n patty. All who vote for Mr.. Andrews vote
for The prncPl" that parry politics should not
be- introduced into our common schools, while
those who vote for Mr. Barney vote FOR the
Opposite principle.
To us it appears that Free Democrats can
have no hesitation in supporting Mr. Andrews
for the place, in preference TO Mr. B rnry
Mr. B'rnry runs as party man, and in voting
for him we endorse the parry, W tn its BALI
more platform. Mr. Bprncvis brought out al.
so by a very hunktrsh portion of the party,
the Hamilton county del cation Mr. An.
drews runs as the candidate Of the people, and
the friend of common schools. In voIing for
him We endorse no party. but, our vote gives
our testimony in favor Of thorough an ! Iiher-
al free School sysrom in opposition to the
movements oi it enemies Of all kinds. Mr.
Andrews. in private politics, has generally act
ed with the Wings; but he >no rig"d parizan;
he honors and respects the good Of all parties.
His strong sympalLirs are on lhc>ile of FREE.
dom. mprrance, and every goo reform.
We think there is no doubt hut that ur. An
drcws can be elected. He is now supported
with almost entire unanimity by. the Free Soil
and Wing press Of he State; also hy number
Of neutral and independent papers. by ma y
Democrats, and by The, teachers Of the State
generally, Last fall H. vote of all parties com.
biued, was abou' IL CcO over The vote of,he
Democratic plrry. With the strength Mr.
Andrews will have among all prrlies, he can
b. triumph"nly, y,rlected, if the friends Of Eiu-
cation will only be aciive, and see that his
name is printed on their county ticket Let
Free Democrats do their du'y in Ibis man.
