A GOOD CoMPosIToR wanted at this office
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

AS Notwithstanding confident Loco
foco representations to the contrary, the
sun went down upon the Republican par
ty of this county, on Saturday last, and
all was harmony and good feeling. Not
an incident occurred, not a word was
spoken, to excite the opposition of any
section of the party, and all seemed de-
termined to show that the scenes which
disgraced the late Democratic convention
had no sympathisers, and should find no
imitators in this. The nominations were
with one exception, unanimously acqui-
esced In, and the convention adjourned
in the best of spirits, and with three
hearty cheers for the candidates.
For County Judge, the selection of a
candidate for which Office the most ankle
ty had been evinced, because there were
local questions Ringing upon it which
made the selection delicate and difficult
task, the party has been peculiarly for
tunate in the choice made. The fact that
Mr.. TABOR received, upon the info: NAL
ballot, As out of the 48 votes cast, speaks
dence reposed in him by the party
There cannot be truthful word of dis
paragement spoken of him. We do not
think that we ever knew man whose
moral character we regarded as more full
ly beyond reproach, whose actions flowed
from an impulse more truly conscien-
tious, We do not say this from motives
Of political expediency, for we detest that
kind of fulsome fattery as much as we
DO the gratuitous attacks upon character
which are the invariable accompaniment
of a political campaign, and from which,
we see, we are not this time to be exempt
ed. We accord him this because we feel
confident that all who know him will
endorse it. His ability is no less undis-
puted than his integrity, and if elected,
we feel assured that no man in the coun-
ty will make more popular or more cap
able officer, or one who will guard the
county's interests with greater jealousy
Mr.. VIM. MARTIN, the nominee for
Sheriff, is another whose character as a
man and capacities for an officer, cannot
be gainsayed. Mr.. MARTIN, where
known, we fully believe. will carry ey-
cry vote of both parties. He is afable
and kind in his manners. but possesses
to great degree that firmness and indie
pendence of character which peculiarly
fits him for the office for which he is a
candidate. He is a sober, honest indus
trious and intelligent man, and cannot
fail to be elected.
Mr.. w. G. DOMAIN, the nominee for
the office Of Treasurer and Recorder, is
a young lawyer of Independence. and as
a man is highly extolled. We know but
little of his capabilities for the office, but
enough to warrant us ia declaring that
between him and his competitor on the
Democratic ticket, there can be but one
choice, and that in favor of Mr.. DOMAIN.
Mr.. GEO. w. BEMIs, the nominee for
County Surveyor, at present holds that
position, and is said to be the best sur
veyor in the county. He is well known
throughout the county as an ardent Re
publican. We differ in some things with
Mr.. BEMIs, but it is not upon the score
of his Republicanism, or his capabilities
for the Office for which he has been nom
mated.
DR.. GEO. B, PARSONS, the nominee for
the Office of coroner. is too good man
tor much better office. He will hardly
receive as much honor from the Office as
he confers upon it. He is a gentleman,
and a man of ability, and has conferred
a favor upon the party by accepting the
nomination.
This, then, is the ticket, and we hope
every voter in the county will compare il
