Each delegate seemed to feel that the
work before the Democracy was one
requiring perfect harmony of action,
and q wise selection OF cand la,es.
Candidates were few. None seemed anx'
ious for nomination. All seemed anx-
ious to select unexceptionable men,
The favoritcs Of different town dclega-
tions, were cneerfully set aside, when 1t
became evident that some other man
was likely TO poll a stronger vote. With
this feeling, the Convention made its
nominations.
George J. Hyde Of Pleasant Valley
WA elected tho candidate for State
Senator. lie is an old resident of
Scott County, is a substantial farmer,
. man Of considerable ability, of sterling
judgment, and of undoubted integrity;
and no will be acceptable to every class
Of voters in the County, SO far As per
sonal qualifications are concerned. We
have no hesitation in saying that no
will 10 elected over his opponent by a
decided majority. Mr.. Kusch showed
himself entirely incompetent for Sena-
torial duties, during the last Lcgisla-
turc. Even his German friends admit
that no 10 unit for his place. lie can
DO imposed upon, and he wos grossly
imposed upon in his faction upon the
Liquor Law, whereby he was made to
vote for License Law so odious and
Accountable, that not a County in the
State has adopt d it, but prefer to re-
tain the tyrannical Prohlbitory Law,
amended 30 as to prevent the sale o
all matt and vinous liquors thus max
ing the law still more cxccptionablc
No man questions Mr. Rnsch's sincerity
OF purpose, but that he is unfit fol-
his place Is conceded by his warmest
personal friends. We think that Mr..
Rusch will not POLL as many vote. as
formerly, by several hundred.
Geo. II. Parker, Esq, the Democratic
candidate for Representative, from Da
yonport, is lawyer OF ability, and Of
integrity in his profession. lie is pop
ular with all classes, has few personal
enemies, is self made, and of indumita
bio perseverance,. In his younger days,
he was printer by profession. lie
has resided in this city for seven wears,
in which time he has gained the res
pcct Of all classes. lie is cminently
fitted for Legislative duties.
James Heron of Blue Grass. is one
Of the best farmers and most popular
men in the County. He will secure
many Republican votes from personal
friendships, and abiding faith in his un-
compromising integrity.
J. w. Clark Of LcClairc is the third
candidate for Representative on our
ticket, and he is said to be man of
ability, and popular among those who
know him. In fact our ticket is THE
PEOPLES TICKET. 1t is recoc-
milton Of the dignity and importance
Of LABOR. 1t is composed of men
who are identified with the Interests
Of the County, and who believe in the
application of old jefferson notions
Of government in the legislation Of the
State. Zach man on the ticket was
unanimously endorsed by the Conven-
ton.
And now, we have a word to say to
the Democratic voters of the County.
You are aware that the political adver-
ssries against which we hight are an.
prineipled, unserupuious and treacher
oss. Almost every year We are COM
PEELED to meet them under new name,
or rallying under different creed. At
one time it was the Maine Law Party,
with Temperance Organ for its mouth
piece, who were hurting at us the ioul.
est epithets, such as "rummies" and
friends Of the damned Dutch" and
again We met them - the Know No
thing Party, concocting political frauds
in secret hiding places, aud reviliug us
because We would not consent to a
prescription Of Catholics and foreign
born citizens; and now we meet them
- Abolitlonists or Black Republicans,
worshipping n'ggers, whisky, and dear
German allies. We have met them
in oil forms, under all DISCUSSES, and
advocating the most conflicting OF
creeds; and each time we have found
them the same INSCRIPTIONS combina
ton Of factions; inspired by one com
mon purpose-and that one is the
'sspoils" Of Office. The third Resolu
ton Of their State platform q invite.
