Primary Elections.

During the coming week the precincts
will elect their delegates to the County Con-
vention. We have on previous occasions
urged upon the Democracy of this county
the necessity of coming out in their strength
and eecting to this duty the most intelligent
and best men Of the party. We ask them
now to remember, that upon the action OF
these delegates the success Of the party in this
county mainly depends. They are to give
the party its standard bearers. And those
men they select should have the stamina to
withstand every assault of the opposition
and when elected confer credit upon them
selves and the party. They will also elect
the delegates to the State Convention, and
they should be men that will properly rep
resent the sentiment Of the people. To per
form this work properly is worth a struggle
Come out and work.

EDITOR HERALD-Dear Su:-As the Republi-
can party in this State are organizing Clubs dis
tingulshed by the names of members of Colonel
Fremonts family, and the list is so far exhausted
that it may be difficult for the members Of that
party in this county to find an appelation for a
club which shall signify their regard for the Colo
nell suggest that one be organized under the
name, form and style of the "Towser Club."-
That being the name of favorte bull pup of
Col. Fremonts 1t would no doubt be gratifying
to his feelings to have the names of his partners
appear as the designation of some Republican
body. "The Palmer Cook d Co." Club sounds
very WELL and is in California, wonderfully sug-
gestive Another might be called The July In

man." Another "The States Money Disbursers." :"
Freedom Howlers," CONSTITUTION Killers
"Union Discovers" political Revolvers," "Kan-
