~ successful ID contfolln9 the nominations 1
at the primary election, and their ticket is
composed of men who have grown grey in
the service Of the Rcd Lodge. Every man
on the ticket is sell though not fayorably
known TO the peopla-known because they
have been leading politicians in this coun-
ty for years, run their day, and long since
been laid on the shelf as broken down
hacks.
ANDREw EoUsr is the nominee Tor SEN
ator, the man who represented this district
in the State Senate when the influence Of
that body was SO highly essential to the in
terests Of the Cincinnati, Wilmington and
GAINESVILLE Railroad, and whose opposition
to this public enterprise so seriously retard
ed its completionas as so bring upon. him the
indignation ofhis own party, who repudi-
ated his course on this and other measures
by refusing to re-nominate him for the Sc
cond term. Ever since, he has been look
ed upon as politically dead, and why the
Clique should resurrect him at this partic
ular juncture is most glaringly apparent
to every one who has taken the least inter
est in the politics of this county. When
Foust was defeated in the Convention
which nominated Lot L. Smith, it was with
great difficulty his few friends could be in
duced to vote the ticket, and had not the
party been in the meridian of its power,
and able to crush all oppositio by promi
ses of reward, serious, if not total rup-
| tule, would have been the result. AT pre-
sent, things are differently situated, and
| the party has become so weakened that i'll
is compelled to resort to the most odious
men to unite and keep together their bro
ken fragments. Those who were once laid
aside and repudiated ed-who have long since
given up all hopes Of promotion, are the
only ones, at present, who can be prevail
ed upon TO offer themselves as sacrifice,
orin other words, be used. When.a "A nom
nation amounted to an election, lhey We're
kicked overheard, and made 10 give place
to men more closely allied to the Clique. =
Now that \ nomination is only made as
matter of form they have two reasons for
resurrec6ng these men. First, to prevent
them from leaving the party entirely in this
their hour of trouble. Secondly. they can
! offer them as sacrifice under color of Il
, compliment, and thus fulfil empty promises
long since made to appease their wrath.
Judge CnANEY and LYLE, the nominees
for Representatives are men Of moderate
ability. The name Of the former has so
long been associated with political gam
bling and wire-pulling, that he is perfect
1 ly familiar to every voter in the county as
, an incorrigible office seeker, ready to accept
any thing from Congress down to supervi-
sor. LYLE, too, is equally familiar in the
same relation to the public. There has
p never yet been time when they were not
ready to offer their services to bear the
burthens of office. We think, however, in
this instance, the people will politely, and
i without noise, decline troubling them with
fany responsibilities in this way.
. The nominee for Treasurer, EDWARD
Z GRAYBrLL, is the present incumbent. lie
occupies a very peculiar position, being in
the hands of men who villifed and done
lalI they could against him when hts name
r was first presented in connection with the
office he now holds, Every scheme the
d ingenuity of the Clique could devise, was
brought to bear against him two years ago
and had It not been for the untiring efforts
of his friends, who have since repudiatet
the Treasury eaters, and are now acting
I. with the american party, Ed. would
d have met with perfect Waterloo defeat
Is He cannot, however, expect to receive tht
d cooperation of these men in the pGesen
a contest, He is. however, decidedly TIN
~ best man on the ticket, and has filed tn,
,f Office of Treasurer TO the general satisfac
!. ton of his constituents. One thing how
ever, will secure his defeat. He is in tn
,e hands Of men who have for years past uset
At the oflcehe now holds, and for which b
u is candidate for election, to advanc
e. the interests of the party whenever fund
were necessary for distribution; and in thi
"a way hundreds and thousands Of dollar
~ have been taken from its vaults to buy u
r. the votes of an ignorant foreign populacc
O. who annually offer themselves for sale i
H. the political market. By associating wit
III and becoming the nominee Of these men
Of Mr.. GRAYBILL will find that he ha
placed himself alougside Of those who's
20 mantle of vice can no longer screen an
a cover up their political depravity. Thi
IN Office is the most important one in th
s. county, and none other than a man Of &C
n knowlodged financial ability should be Sc
