Oh1r County Ticket.

We plsce at the head of our paper the
result of the Peoples Convention, which
met in Belmont on Tuesday last.
The convention was largely attended by
politicians of nearly every cast. The pro-
ceedings throughout were characterized by
a spirit amounting to enthusiasm; and al
though the proceedings were rot as har-
monious as desirable, yet there was a de-
termination on the part of the mass that
was a error TO the Democracy. In con-
vention like that it is no. to be expected
that all would have been pleased. We
frankly acknowledge that the ticket is not
entirely as we would have liked. 1t is not
possible in mass, made up as that was,
to have entire harmony. 1t is well known
that the opposition to the Democracy is
made up o. the thinking class of commu-
rity-of the independent minds--and such
a class will not follow in tine wake OF lead
ers, as do the Democracy, yet this very
quality, which is dangerous to the harmony
of party, is still indicative of innate
strength; and although some of the best
men of the county honestly differ on minor
matters, and express that difference freely,
as men have right to do, yet in opPosi-
tion to the Dem cracy there is no differ.
ence. There is determined hostility that
will not only be feared, but felt.
In relation to the men nominated, we
have only these questions to ask, and by
the answers to them shall we be governed,
and honestly think every voter should be.
First, and essential, Are they honest!-
Now we personally know them all to oe
men of unexceptionable character for hon.
esty, integrity and uprightness.
Second. Are they capable, This is very
important. and we have no hesitancy il
saying they are well qualified.
Third, Are they anti-Lecomptonl W.
know the people only ask this question il
relation to their politics. We know thel
are not only anti-Lecomption, but of th'
most ultra character in opposition to thu
Administration. And, in conclusion, W,
have no hestancy in recommending then
to the people as worthy their suffrages, o.
far preferable to any ticket the Democrac.
can bring before the people, when we taxi
into consideration tina: they will bear tn,
corrupt Administration and endorse its &C
tions.

Tom the "Wagon Boy" is mounted
again and the familiar crack OF his whip i:
as ever terror to the Democracy. Fol
several years it has been well known fact
that The Democracy have earnestly yearnet
over, and plead with Mr.. CoRwIN to join
their ranks and share their fate. He ha:
not taken an active part. has not been
identified with any party, but his final
stand is right. He has consented to be a
candidate for Congress. and has engaged to
SPEAK at Morrow on Friday pext, and Chill

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT-JUpGE E.
McLEAN.--sFhes preaepce of one of the
most eminent of the Justices of the United
States Supreme Court, now in session in
Hoffman's block, gives additional interest
TO its proceedings. Judge Mclean is one
of those rare men whose amisbility of
character and regularity of industry seem
TO have combined TO fortify his physical
health and preserve to him all the elasticity
and vvacity of youth. No one can sit in
the court room and listen to his remarks,
either in conversation, in the disposition OF
business, or in his address to the grand jury,
without being certain that serenity of
mind and vivacity Of temper have contribu-
ted largely to his continued vigor, both in.
lelectual and physical.
Judge Mclean is now about seventy three
years of age, having been born in Morris
county, New Jersey, in 1885. He was ad :
mittteed to the bar in 1907, and entered up
on the practice at Lebanon. In 1912. he
became candidate for Congress, and was
elected by large majority over his oppo-
nent. He was supporter of the war and
of MIR. Mad,on's Administration. In 1914
he was reelected to Congress by u unani-
nous vote, n circumstance of rare occur
renee in this country.
President Monroe appointed him Com
missioner of the General Land Office in
1922 and Post Master General in 1929
His conduct of the business of beth these
Offices was characterized by signal ability.
In 1929 he was appointed by President
Jackson justice of the United States
Supreme Court, and entered upon the dis.
charge of his duties at the Jan uar, :erm of
1880, and his eminent fitness for the station
has been displayed in the many able and
standard decisions he has maee during a
service OF over twenty-eight years on the
bench, especially on commercial law.

The Convention of the Democracy seems
10 have been, as was expected, a strange
conglomeration OF discordant elements; a
.errible attempt at reconciliation and a
making differences nodiferences at all
a is said that the committee on resolutions
:ook between five and six hours to quarre
over some "cut and dried'' resolutions
which had been sen, out frem head quar-
,ers. But it was only few hours quarrel,
a astrained effort, and all was swallowed,

ceived very graciOusly By the Convention.
but got through kind of way.
These resolutions are curiosity only
excelled by the Instructions of last Win
:ef's Legislature to PUcH, Cox d 20. Let
them be re-read and studied we'll.
The first resolution is an endorsement of
the Cincinnati Platform, Squat;er Sover-
eighty and all.
The second is plain contradiction OF
the first, in that it endorses the English
bill which is plainly against the Squatter
Sovereignty doctrine,besides being shabby
cheat, "a miserable pretense,' sc. s-
The third resolution is an unpara lleled
assumption of power, declaring that the
Eecompton issue is at an end, and they will
no longer recognize it as test. Wonder il
their declaration will put an end to this
The fourth resolution we will notice
.eain. It is a specimen of tyranny which
will never receive the sanction of the peo-
ple. We mean the refusal to admit State
into the Union except with representa-
tive ratio of Inhabitants.
The fifth resolution is-well il is.
Read it; it's only mi Tx and water buncomb.
The sixth is congratulate tory of the action
of the National Government on the question
of the right of search. Ofcourse none but
the Democracy have any credit in the con-
cern.
The seventh endorses the action of the
immaculate Legislature, and attribute much
praise to that body in that it was eminent
Iy wise and judicious' in opposing negro
suffrage and negro equality without ref
erence to shade or proportion of African
blood.
The eighth resolution is an endorsement
of law taxing Banks.
The ninth and last resolution is decla'
ration that Oaio is under the rule of Alb
olitionism, and a pledge to support th'
ticket right or wrong. through thick an'
