sea, arc pushing forward. ike flock of
hungry crows, seeming their prey afar
their claims upon the party /
and the public crib, and are doing all
and everything in their power to again
obtain possession Of your county offices,
from which an outraged people, three
years ago, expelled them, and whose adj
minsration of county affairs was in for
mer years so disastrous to the people
and tax payers of the county.
The Importance of the coming election,
in view of the late terrible demonstrations
of Breslinism in the various departments
of State affairs, and these are not alone
confined to the State Treasury. makes
it doubly incumbent upon us as Republic
cans, TO see TO it, that SO far as We, AS a
party, are concerned, that none but the
very best men be put in nomination.
Let all considerations Of mere policy
be laid aside. Nominate no man, how
ever popular lie may be among certain
classes Or in certain districts, unless he
be eminently qualified to fill the office for
which lie may be nominated. Place no
man upon your ticket merely because he
has claims upon the party, or because he
has made sacrifices to secure the triumph
Of the Republican party. Men who have
only fought for the principles of the Re-
publican party for the sake of the spoils
of victory, had better be laid aside, (if
there should be any such, and we fer
ven!ly hope there will be none, )-let
them wait-they aoon't spoil. Let. the of
fee and people seek the candidate, and
not the candidate the office.
Agein, we say, come up, and noni

your county otfices-men pledged to car

f reform, which you have SO nobly begun,
and whether victory or defeat follow.
