A WORD TO THE CONVENTION.

To day the Democratic County
Convention meets ut the Court House
TO select candidates for County Offices
and to appoint the usual Committees.
A strong confidence in possessing a
majority Of the votes Of the County,
may 40 far mislead the Convention rs
TO induce them to accept candidates,
whose personal unftness, and want Of
popularity, will give our adversaries a
most decided advantage. 1t is not to
be disguised, that certain number Of
voters, generally holding the balance
Of power in all local elections, throw
their votes for the best men, regardless
Of party influences. 1t is unwisc to
ignore this fact at this juncture, for
however certain we may be Of Dem
ocratic majority, in State election,
where party principles are more d.
rectly involved, we cannot afford to lose
this class Of voters. We have men in
our ranks whose qualifications pre-emi-
nently fit them for the duties required.
We kno~ Of men, totally unfit for these
offices who are pressing their claims by
every species Of pipe-laying, and by ev-
cry effort possible. We trust that del
egates will act with firm independence,
regardless Of the clamorous claims OF
office hunting nincompoops, whose
nomination would peril the success Of
our ticket. The Republican candidate
for County Recorder is dcservedly pop
nlsr. and a thousand fold more SO than
was his predecessor, for his politcness
towards all who have business at his
office, and his gentlemanly department
has made him many personal friends in
the Democratic party. But he is Of the
camp Of the enemy and ought to be
beaten by us. To do this we mus,
select a candidate for County Recorder
who is equally popular. The Rcpubli
can candidate for County Judge il
from LeClaire, and a lawyer with few
personal enemies, SO that his defeat car
only be secured by nominating strong
man. The Republican candidate fol
Sheriff can be beaten by almost any
democrat, for he has not dozen
friends in the Democratic party, and
this is owing to his peculiar style OF
partizanship. We have no fears Of his
success. But let the Converts n look
well to the candidates for Rccor der
and County Judge.
