EATON, W, aug. o, l609.
EDITOR EMPIRE Like Mioawbar, have
been daily expecting something to turn up,''
that might write you again according to
promise. Within the memory of that "old
sojourner" here, there has not been time
when politics with the opposition were 80
quiet, and l think it certainly means some
thing. There is no doubt but that the Re.
publican nominees, or portion of them like
in many. other counties in the State, are un,
popular with their own party, which accounts
for the apathy and the N don't care who
succeeds which you can read in the coun-
tenances of so many persons, that in former
years we're prominent in keeping the waters
agitated The hand writing is upon the
wall so plainly that he who runs may read
the result of the coming election and the fate
of this pestilent breathing, rather corrupt
party organization, which like vultures have
been roosting and breeding in the Capitol,
robbiDg and plundering the State, and at.
tempting to engrait into our system of gov
ernments, their demoralizing and destructive
principles. Let the editors of Ohio but take
the advice of your short article few days
ago, headed Interpretation" cease the
discussion of the Presidential question--it is
too premature-go to work and flight the
good fight this fall and there is no danger
Of the result, There will then be plenty of
time to discuss the question, "who shall be
our candidate" for President
The Democratic judicial Convention met
here on Saturday last, to nominate Judge
for the sub-division composed of the coun>
ties Of Butler, Preble and Darke. The Con.
vention was well attended, nearly every
township in Butler and Preble being fully
represented, besides goodly number from
Darke. Owing.toa little quibbling and a new
agreement on the part of the delegates from
Butler and Darke, as to how the Convention
should proceed to nomi nate Mr.. MERKRR,
the candidate from the latter county, with
drew his name, thus leaving the field en-
tirely to the Butler county candidate who
was then nominated by accIanation. With
this exception, the proceedings of the Con-
vention were harmonious, and l presume
satisfactory to all the delegates. Mr. HUME
the nominee is young man, and in my
opinion, lacks experience in that branch
which would thoroughly fit him for the pos
Sition he has so eagerly sought after, and at
last obtained To fill this position with hon
or and satisfaction it requires age and ex-
perience in the law, or as Chapman and
Shirley have it, in their Admiral Of France
"a Judge should be a learned man.
Full ofequity, noble, notable, and
In the passage of State WISE"
The District is very close, and it will re-
quire Mr. Hume to make considerable cfort
TO insure his success, unless the opposition
should nominate Wilson, Of Darke, who is
not only exceedingly unpopular in his own
county, but is stiu less qualified for the po-
sition than Hume. The reports from But>
Ter and Darke are ofthe most cheering char,
acter, for the prospects of the Democratic
State Ticket
The Senatorial matter is beginning to get
shaped up in the opposition party have
heard of several new aspirants, among whom
are Gen. Hendricks and G. w. Thompson,
Esq. The Democratic candidate, |
suppose win be left entirely to Montgomery
to furnish if she sees proper, and the De-
mccrsey of Preble viii give him hearty
and cordial support. PRERLE.
