6rst ballot. was s6, which, were there were
three or four other competitors for nomina-
ton, all good and true democrats, was good
and spontaneous expression Of the Portage
Democracy in HE favor 5, for, be it known,
Mr. Harris, never solicited the nomination,
and many Of his -fsieRdsin COaEen de-
clared, while voting for others, that they on
iy reserved his name to present asa csndi-
date before the Congressional Convention;
and there, we are told, he, on the first ballot,
obtained the unanimous vote ofthe Portage
delegation; an expression of appreciation for
bisilate editorial services, be- sAay web be
proud Of, which he richly merits; for his nine
years faithful, Efficient, and eminently sue
cessful labOrSS for.bis party, and his country
land which the democracy daly saHpre-

name was withdrawn after the first rballot.
m Those bogus editors, who abused our
Auditor a few months ugo, now very kindly
for him. They would fain, or
teig,s court Mr. Frost and his friends, to
make capital for their Fusion candidate for
Auditor. The editors meanly hint, that
some " Regency at Rayenna turned against
him, Mr.. Frost) because he boarded-at "a
Temperance House. They hint also that
he was ENTITLED to the Office by right of pos
session---at least, that preocenpancy gave him

first ballot, free admission that the Office
had been we'll filled, but not that We had no
other person we'll qualified for the Office for
the next term. We have many good and

Jsage L. L. Brown; has been abused by
Editor Hall, more than any other man Of our
party, but now, forsooth he admits the fact,
that the Judge has been a good officer. He
would not now own the truth, but in the
hope to SOW dissention usnong democrats;
and he will fail Of his object. Judge Browns
friends are too patriotic, and have too good
sense TO bolt, knowing as they do, that our
nominee is u good man, and fully competent
to fill the Office. The Democrats, with very
few exceptions, admit the merits Of Judge
Brown, his faithfulness and competency,
but as we have many such, and for the bet
ter distribution of the Offices in the different
localities Ito give the west range Of town
