Democratic Nominations.
The Democratic County Convention met
in this city last Saturday, and nominated
JOHN II. SHERMAN, for County Judge; c.
P. KELLOGG, for Clerk of District Court,
and C. P. SMITH, for Coroner. Of the can
didate for County Judge, we reed say but
little-the people Of Pottawaramie, ksoto
or ought TO know JOHN II. sHERAAS--lf
they don't, their understanding must be as
impervious to an impression as an adaman-
tine rock. Mr.. KELLOGG, the candidate for
Clerk, is the present incumbent-in the Ian
guage of the organ, IL man with whom we
have "but slight acquaintance"-'we
presume he is a Democrat, from the fact
that he received the nomination from a
Democratic Conventionn' Rather an equivo-
cal endorsement--thinky you not so, reader?
In the nomination of Mr.. X. 'hangs tale.'
The Democrats of this city had determined
to throw him overheard, and place in his
stead, Mr.. ALDEN, but the ''rural districts"
showed them that the
'.Nice laid plans Of mice and men
Gang aft ageep
and Mr.. KELLOGG was nominated by ma
iorty of one vote. Then came the "tug Of
war; followed recrimination,
and the members of the oharmonious" par
ty manifested anything but n harmonious
spirit. Among the friends of Mr.. ALDEN,
rnncorous feeling ran riot, and they at once
hesieged Mr.. KELLOGG, and, by pledges of
future political rewards, and threats, ,endeav.
ored to get him to resign, but without avail.
Failing in this, they were free in denouncing
the action of the Convention-railed against
the '.skuldugsery" practiced in the conven-
ton, hut with no better result--Mr. KEEL
Lcc is still on the track. He receives their
ratings and denunciations much in the
spirit that Shylock did those Of the rafting
Gratiano, when he said:
"Tll thou canst rail the zeal from OF my bond
Thou but offend st thy lungs to speak 50 ioud!'
The sequel remains to be WHITEWATER

Tho Mad Receiver-A Tail Of Democracy.
Our readers are doubtless aware, that last
Saturday was "grand gala day" among
the "Wes,ern Democracy" (see Bugle of
the 29th st.)-"Old Dick" was on the
stump, and such "hatcheling of wool"
(sce the organ) was probably never heard of
before, since the invention Of patent wool
carders. But, we do not propose here, to
consider the various wonderful feats CT the
renowned and valorous orators (?)-we have
n word personal to say to A. II. PALMER,
I the Receiver of the Land Office in this city.
During the harangue of Gov. RICHARDSON,
some luckless vi ght asked him if he run in
Mexico. This was the occasion of grand,
magniloquent, Eighty and ejaculatory burst
of eloquence (?) from the spirited orator,
commendatory Of his great military prowess
and daring achievements while in Mexico
After the Gov. had concluded his military
biography and fanatical harangue, up
rose that prodigy Of human valor-that
unscrupuous politlc:an-tha' wIlful and
malicious libeler-that mad but blazing
meteor of Democracy-y'clept A. II. PAL
MER-his hoary head careening from side to
side, like a ship in n storm, and his long
bony hands saving the air, like the arms of
a windmill. Without any circumlocution,
he commenced defence Of Gov. RICHARD
sons military career-he was Of the opinion
that
"Trcpc'ers me- er did lie
Though FOOLS at home condemn them!"
Gov. r. was military hero-a second
Napoleon Bonaparte, and he would confirm
everything he had said-and intinated thus
much more:
"And what else does ,cnnt credit, come to me,
And IA be scorn It's true d"
Not content with vouching for the truth
fulness of Gov. RPS statements, this brawl-
ing Receiver, took new tack, and "pi,ched
into" the Nonpareil, after the most approx
ed Democratic fashion, viz: lie said-"The
foul -mouthed Black Republican sheet in this
city, has accused Gov. RICHARDSON with run.
ming from the enemy while in Mexco,'' etc.,
and then, in frantic frenzy, epithets, adjec-
tives, nouns, ptonouns, adverbs, verbs, in.
terjections, propositions, conjunctions, in
definite articles, participles, etc., flowed
from his whisky -crazed brain in wild confu.
sion, upon our devoted head-though they
imported "little meaning-little relevancy
bore"
We have ever treated Col. PALMER with
the respect due to his position, and this is
the way he seeks to repay Us. We have
passed by many of his mean political pee
cadlloes, during the past year, in silence,
wci-knowins that his weapons of defence,
were similar in kind to those of the dgiti-
grade carniverous mammal, that abound in
this country, and therefore, We wished to
avoid coming in contact with him. But it
was all to no purpose, he will emit his fetid
slime, whether he is disturbed or not--with
or without cause. For instance, there was
not one particle of truth in his statement
last Saturday, tha. we had accused Gov. K.
of running from the enemy while in Mexico
it was all fustlan-we have never referred
to his career in Mexico, in no way, shape or
manner. Therefore, in the chaste, elegant,
and classical words of sold Dick,'' when
Col. PALMER made that statement, the lied
lied in his throat-lied in his heartr'-
About as much reliance can be placed on
his statements in regard to the conduct of
our of State affairs, as in what he said about
the Nonpare,l, and no more. We have done
with the insane gablings Of this Government
official.
CO Did the Omaha Times ever hear of
the man who undertook to shoulder full
grown elephant?- what befel him (the
man not the elephant?) If so, it can make
a personal application of the moral-for its
attempt to palm of that "sunday Conven-
ton" upon the Republicans, is on par
